Topeka is the most satisfactory To-
cation in the territory from a geo.
graphical standpoint. Anderson says.
He asks that a landing field or land
ing privileges be supplied him here.
Arrangements are to be made. it is
believed. whereby he will be permit
ted to erect a hangar on Coles field
west of Topeka. Altho the field was
secured for the use of the govern
ment. there was an understanding that
it might be used by any other organ
izations who cared to use it. Ander-
son stated today that no better landing
ing facilities could be expected than
those provided at Coles field. He
would erect his own hangar for four
planes he said
Anderson has not yet been success
full in finding a building available for
warehouse and sales plant. Ulti-
mate decision will depend on the &C
ton of the aviation committee. Ander-
son pointed out. Members could not
say anything definite, but expressed
the belief that the proposition would

WILL NOT BUILD FOR 3 YEARS.
Moses Marks Delays Construction of
TMelVc-StOry Building.

Erection of the contemplated
twelve-story building on the southwest
corner of Eighth and Kansas avenue
has been put off at least five years. it
was made known today following the
disclosure that Moses Marks, owner
of Des Moines, Iowa. intended to lease
the buildings he owns for a period of
five years.
Altho Marks could not be found
local real estate dealers conversant
with his intentions declare that he
will follow that method of procedure.
Excessively high costs of labor and
building material have influenced
Marks to delay construction, it is
claimed. They voice the opinion that
he is not holding the property as a
speculative project. based on the per-
sonal knowledge of offers Marks has
received for the property from which
he could derive satisfactory profit.
The Burghart corner was acquired
about eight years ago while the lots
to the south, now occupied by the
Rosser drug store and the Jones paint
store, were purchased within the last
wear.
