Indignation was expressed by the mem
bers of the Civic club at the meeting Tues
day evening when 1t was learned that the
in Topeka avenue to the board of managers
of the Crittenton Home was contemplated,
said property to be used as Crittenton
Home coIored.
The Rev. o. L. Weir. pastor of the North
Topeka Baptist church, brought the matter
before the club. at the request of +. o..
Morns, who was unable to be present.
The feeling against the location of the
home In North Topeka was unanimous and
ii was voted that the board of directors of
the Civic club see the directors of the Crit
tenton Home and explain the opposition to
such an institution in North Topeka. The
directors were also directed to see Hey
wood.
The proposed location of the home is
within two or three blocks of the site of
the new $4,000 church. soon to be built by
the North Topeka Baptist church members.
1t is believed that an institution of this
nature within the city limits of North To-
peka would result in great depreciation of
property values and be a detriment to
North Topeka generally. Citizens of the
north side present at the meeting last even
ing were united in opposing the locating
of the institution in North Topeka.
Mrs. Herbert French. chairman of the
welfare committee, made report on the
purchase of piano for the Civic club. The
committee found. she said, that it could get
the best terms from the f. r. Guild Music
company. The piano selected by the com
mittee is a $260 used instrument. A per
cent discount would be allowed on the pur-
NJ
member of the Civic club. The sale of the
square piano and an organ, owned by the
club, would still further lower the amount
to be raised. 1t was voted to buy the piano
recommended, making small deposit and
so monthly payments.
The Civic club decided 1t had no funds
with which to build bleachers for the city
league games at Garfield park. to be played
by the North Topeka Civic club teams and
ing the season. Fred Buechner, chairman
of the Civic club baseball committee. stated
that 800 persons attended the opening game
last Sunday and with bleachers the attend
ance would be greatly increased. Failing
to get help from the Civic club. he proposes
that contributions be solicited for money
for lumber, and says carpenters viii donate
most of the work.

The annual picnic of the teachers of the
grade schools of the city will be held at
