FIX UP SCENIC ROAD!
Topeln's Prettiest Drive Crippled by
Stretch of Sand.

There is an increasing number of
Topeka citizens asking who is respon-
sible for the condition of the water
works road?
Recently the park at the water
works has been fixed up as a camp
ing ground. The natural beauty of
the drive to the grounds and the park
itself, deep in the shade of many large
trees close to the river. make a COM
bination that is hard to equal for nat
ural attractiveness.
During the spring a consistent ef-
fort was made to bring it more to the
attention of Topeka citizens. Many
knew of the beautiful park but there
were hundreds who did not know
about it and did not know the road to
take to get to it.
The movement took. Traffic in
creased on the drive far beyond the
capacity of the road to handle it.
There is now one very narrow strip
of road that runs thru deep sand. 1t
is the short stretch that runs parallel
to the river. 1t is almost impossible
for two cars to pass on this stretch.
In some places it is all right to turn
out In others the sand is so deep at
the sides of the road that if a car
turned out it might require additional
assistance other than its own motor to
get II out of the sand again. There
seems to be some question as to whom
the road belongs. If the authori-
ties to whom the road belongs knew of
this dangerous condition 1t seems rea-
sonable that they would make an eff
fort to get the little stretch of bad
road into safe, passable shape.
