in NORTH TOPEKA
City Begins Repaving Avenue
i'm 900 Block.
North Side POStOffice PROPOSE
ton Up in the Air.

At last much to the qualification of
owners of autos, the pavement on the
east side of Kansas avenue north OF
Laurent street is to be repaired Th1s
block is apparently in a good condi-
ton. but motorists have long COM
planned about the bumps that are no.
ticeable when riding in car
The bricks have been worn down in
some places until there are depres-
sfons an inch or so deep. Little work
has been done on the pavement in this
block since it was laid several years
ago.
Looks Bad for New Postoffice.
The opinion of the postmaster gem
eraI, given out several days ago. stat
ing tkat no new postOffices would be
allowed for some time, gives a d.
bious appearance to the hopes that
North Topekans have had for a new
building Whether this ruling will af-
feet the building of offices that have
already been decided upon is not
known.
In some cases expenditures are
made for postal buildings in towns
where there is absolutely no need for
one, the postoffice being the most i'm
posing edifice in the town. However,
this is net so with the North side Of
flee. A new building is needed, and
needed badly. Considering the BUSH
ness that is handled through the
North Topeka office and the equip
ment in the office for handling it, the
senator and congressman from this
district should get busy and expedite
matters in this din seton instead of
making promises OF new buildings to
smaller towns. It is the actual work
that counts not promises.
