Although the minimum temperature

Continued fair weather is predicted

There have been only two cases Of

WOULD DISMISS IT.
City's Attorneys File Motion in Gage
Park Case.

Attorneys for the city of Topeka to-
day filed with the supreme court a
motion to dismiss the quo warranto
proceedings to block sale of conces-
sion privileges at Gage park. The
case was filed in the supreme court
last week by property owners in the
Gage park district.
Under provisions of the original
grant of the Gage park property to the
city, it was held that sale of conces-
sion rights was prohibited The city
had recently advertised for bids for
concession privileges. Attorneys for
the city today denied the right of the
resident property owners to interfere
and filed motion for d dismissal of the
action. 1t is probable that the case
will be heard by the supreme court
some time this week.
