I'M NORTH TOPEKA
Stream of Autos, Three Deep,
on Kansas Avenue.
Two Small Accidents Result of
Traffic Rush.

North Topeka thinks it needs a
traffic officer. All day Thursday an
almost unbroken procession of auto
mobiles passed down Kansas avenue,
bound for the fair grounds. One on
| locker counted nearly 200 of the ma
chimes in less than an hour. Two and
! three deep, they swept down the
thorofare, making crossing at corners
a risky business for pedestrians. Once
over the river, the myriad of vehicles
| scattered, taking their own methods of
reaching the grounds, relieving the
| stress of traffic materially.
| Two motor accidents occurred at the
| intersection of Gordon street, Central
| avenue and Kansas avenue. No one
was injured and little damage was
done to the machines.

Mr.. Troutwine is a great believer in
good railroad service. He, like a lot
of other people from that section of
the state, did not know how badly
they need better train service on the

trains on that road were reversed on
the time table it would be a great help
to that country besides giving them
good service to Topeka.
