Members of the North Topeka Civic
club will be appointed next Tuesday
ieveEing at the regular meeting of the
club to represent it at the meetings
of the city planning board. The meet
ing of the Civic club Tuesday evening
promises to be of unusual interest as
there are a, number of questions to be
decided. One is whether or not Gar
field park will receive two or more
lacres of ground now belonging to the
North Topeka drainage board. The
ground lies along the bank OF Soldier
creek from the east boundary of the
park to the three bridges. whether
this ground shall be offered to the city
for the enlargement of Garfield park
will depend somewhat on the senti-
ment at the meeting of the Civic club
Tuesday evening.
