Waterworks park, on up over the
high road across the tops of the hills
along the river, dropping into the
brick yard road just at the south end
of the bridge. then south to Gage
park, and back into the city. 1t has
all the possibilities for a beautiful

At present the road Is too narrow.
In some places 1t is SO narrow and
grown up with weeds that Il is almost
a dangerous feat for motors to pass
1t is understood that the county Is
to begin work on this road at once.
1t will be widened considerably in the
now narrow places. Rough places
will be smoothed out and a few bad
holes and sandy stretches will be re-
paired and put in first class condition.
When the work IS completed and 1t
is made a little more comfortable and
easy to drive upon there can be no
doubt that the Waterworks boule-
ward will be one of the most popular
and attractive drives around Topeka.
