A heavy vote against the proposition
was cast in the Second ward where an
immense costly sewer system has just
been installed whereon the taxes for

The defeat of the auditorium bonds
does not dishearten Topeka. The city
is still equipped-and always has been
to take care of state wide conven-
tions in better shape than any other
city in Kansas. The present audi
torium seating 1000 persons is ade-
quate for a big majority of the gath
erings in this city. The auditorium is
only one. Topeka has in Memorial
Hall the most beautiful auditorium in
the state. Representative hall and the
onyx senate chamber are always to be
relied upon. The high school audi
torium can take care of 1900 persons.
Security Hall. Masonic Hall and many
other buildings of a public nature are
always open to the good people of
Kansas. The churches have splendid
audience rooms for department meet
ings.
Topeka, too, abides with attractions,
always interesting to Kansans. To-
peka is the capital city of Kansas, her
capital, and she welcomes in the spirit
of the Jayhawker. the neighbors from
over the state.
Topeka wanted a new auditorium
just like a man wants a new automo-
bile. She wanted a more magnificent
home for the entertainment of her
guests. But better times will come.
