Benefit District.
The fiscal year of the North side
postoffice ending June 80, 1918,
shows a slight decrease in the amount
of business done compared with that
of 1914 Had it not been for the two
weeks in the middle of June when
some of the North Topekans were in
a turmoil over the existing condition,
the amount of business done by the
postoffice would have exceeded that
of last year by several hundred dol
lars. As it is there is only differ
ence of about ninety dollars between
the two years.
