vey of Creeks Still Delayed.
New Officers of Amity Lodge To
Be Installed Monday.

That the report of the typographical
survey of Indian and Soldier creeks
made several months ago by V. R.
Parkhurst will be made to members
Of the North Topeka Drainage board
some time this week, was the an
uouncement made by a member of

uouncement came following a state
ment from Parkhurst that his maps
would be completed within a few days.
outside work incidental to the sur
vey was completed more than month
ago and it was expected that report
would be completed and turned in by
the first of December. Later it was
declared that a report could not be
made until the middle of the month
Since that time the date of submitting
the report has been shifted frequently.
4 As soon as the report is turned over
to the drainage board commissioner,
il will be sent to H. b. Walker, state
drainage engineer at Manhattan.
Largely upon Mr.. Walkers advice Will
depend the nature of improvements II
any are made along the two streams
The survey was made with a view
of determining what improvement
could be made in the course of the
creeks to lessen damage to property
onto which they overflow during high
water periods. 1t is generally believed
that the elimination of several wide
bends in the streams will do much to
remedy the condition
Following report by Mr. Walker.
members of the drainage board expect
TO submit the proposition to residents
of the district.
