PLAN NEW WADUCT
Movement to Built Concrete Structure
ON East Sixth Under Way.

A movement to build a new con-
crete yiaduct over the Santa Fe and
Missouri Pacific railroad tracks on
East Sixth street was under way in
Topeka today
The plan, it is understood, provides
that the. expense-of the new structure
will be divided between the city. the
Topeka Railway company. the Missouri
Pacific and the Santa F'e. That a new
viaduct is needed is conceded by prac-
tfcally everybody. The present struc-
ture frequently catches fire from
locomotive sparks. Large street cars
are forbidden-to cross it, Some time
ago it broke thru with car loaded
with crushed rock.
Mayors H. J. Corwine said he had
not heard of the movement and could
not express himself at present. AL
bert Pat.en, general manager Of the
Illinois Traction company in Kansas,
made similar statement. F. c. Fox,
general manager of the Santa Fe, said
he knew nothing of the plan and
didn't care to talk about it.
The new viaduct would form a val
liable link IN the hard surfaced road
out East Sixth to the Douglas county
limo
