FOR WADINC POOLS
Rotary Club Committee Plans Play
grounds Improvement.

AT a meeting of the public welfare
committee of the Rotary club at the
Commercial club quarters this noon
the matter of establishing a city wad-
ing pool was presented by f. w. Ran
kin, chairman of the committee. 1t is
Chairman Rankin's plan to present to
the Rotary club a proposition of ex-
pending $3.50 for the first public wad-
ing pool at the new park on the east
side Later it is believed that these
child conveniences will be built in
other parks in the city.
The welfare committee also took up
the matter of a municipal farm and
on account of the sentiment favoring
a new auditorium and city Jail at this
time, it was decided to postpone action
on the farm plan. The committee,
however, will not give up the idea per-
manently. 1t is still believed that a
municipal farm is needed in Topeka.
The Rotary club may get behind,
actively, the sentiment for the con-
struction of a new city Jail, consider
ing this a stepping stone in the di-
rection of a farm

CROSS old BRIDGE
Utilities Commission Will Per-
nit Use by Interurban.
Decision viii Hasten Roads
Extension to Topeka.

Lawrence, Kan, March 15.-Per-
mission has been granted by the utili-
ties commission to the Kansas City,
Kaw Valley a Western Interurban
company to use part of the old haw
river bridge at Lawrence until the
new bridge is completed. The formal
order has nc ct been issued. but the
information was phoned to County
Attorney Amick, of Douglas county,
Tuesday afternoon.
This move will hasten the extension
of the interurban road to Topeka. The
company faced a delay in the con-
struction of the track because the old
bridge over the Kaw was considered
unsafe. Under the ruling only the
south part of the bridge will be used,
and a piling bridge will be put in be-
tween the new structure and the old
iron bridge to point where the space
is too narrow to permit. There the
track will cross to the old bridge, only
the south portion being used.
The old bridge is constructed of iron
girders and piers and was considered
unsafe by the county authorities. Tho
matter of allowing the interurban
cross the structure was checked up to
the utilities commission about a week
ago. The new bridge, a concrete and
steel structure. will be finished next
year. The formal announcement o
the ruling awaits only the filing of
final plans by the interurban company.

son to accompany them on the trip.
My boy had some work to do after
school, but believed he could arrange
it so that he could make the trip.
Early in the afternoon Floyd had
severe coughing spell and was ex-

impossible for Archie to make the

becoming restless and that he feared

remained in the factory during the
night. An automobile loaded with
food, succeeded in getting past the
strikers and took food to the men. A
