IN NORTH Topeka
New Granville Road Will Be
Opened Next Week.
The Kaw River Continues to
Drop Rapidly.

The course of the Granville road
not only has been definitely mapped
out and rebuilt but when crossing
over the Santa Fe tracks is completed
will be formally opened.
Excepting for the crossing all work
on the road was completed this week.
This morning the Santa Fe railway
commenced the building of the inter-
section. They expect to have it done
Saturday. 1t will be completed at
latest by Monday night.
The new Granville road crosses the
Santa Fe tracks a mile and a half
northeast of the city. Another varia-
ton from the old road, part of which
was washed out last summer. is the
crossing of the Union Pacific tracks
three-quarters of a mile beyond the
old Union Pacific crossing.
A crossing where the new Granville
road crosses the Union Pacific tracks
was built years ago but has not been
used for some time. County commits
sioners discovered from old plat
that the crossing was once part of a
public road and decided to press it
into service again.
With the completion of the Grant
vile road farmers living between
North Topeka and Granville can
again resume convenient travel be-
tween the two points. Following the
last summer, Granville farmers were
compelled to wind around the Calhoun
Bluffs in an effort to reach the North
side. As consequence of this incon-
venience Granville farmers came to
North Topeka only on absolute neces-
sity.
Adams Properly Repaired.
Repairs are being made on the front
of the Adams building, corner of
North Kansas avenue and Gordon
street. Work commenced Thursday
and the repairs will be completed next
week, it is believed.
The old Adams building belonging
to Charles Adams, IS a landmark on
the North side. 1t was one of the
places considered by the supervising
architects department in Washington
as site for the proposed new North
Topeka pOstOffice. At one time it was
ment had bought the place.

down to the 90 feet mark. Thurs

mark reached last Saturday was 14.S.
