TRY TO Gun COST
Engineers Attempt to Reduce
Water Plant Budget.
Preliminary Estimates ON Fill
tratiOn Station Here.

Preliminary estimates on the cost of
Topelza's new filtration plant were re-
ceived today.
Black & Veach. the engineering
firm employed by the city to make the
estimates and draw up plans. figured
on an intake from the river leading to
a settling basin with 100000 gal
Ions capacity and a 5000, 000-g gallon
filter. This would be ample to take
care of the city's needs for many years
and the filter could be enlarged to
handle the additional 100000 when
ever needed.
Engineers were in consultation en-
/ deavoring to shave" the estimate
wherever possible in an attempt to get
the figures below 100000. The high
cost of materials and the steady adj
vances, however, will make this a diff
ficult problem. 1t is believed. tho,
that the plant could be built as cheap
ly now as within a Space of seven or
eight years. In the meantime the wa
ter situation in Topeka demands ur-
gent attention.
The civic water protection commit
/ tee will meet tonight to go over plans
for the proposed bond issue. altho it
| is not probable that the amount de-
sired to be raised will be arrived at.
Many details in the plans for the plant
must be arrived at before the exact
| cost can be known.

RAY, ENGL|SHMAN,
wins OPEN TITLE
FROM A BIG FIELD

TOLEDO, O., Aug. 14-Edward Ray
of Great Britain Friday won the ma
tional open championship Of America
at Inverness with a score of 295 for
70 holes, thus carrying the cup to
England Tor the second time Harry
Vardon having won the title 20 years
ago, and lacking only two strokes OF
capturing it again today.
1t was only by stroke that the long
driving Briton snatched the honor
three young Americans, Leo Diegel
and Jock Hutchinson, Of Chicago, and
Jack Burke of St. Paul, missing long
putt by inches, to tie the score of the
winner, who also outstripped his
countryman, Vardon, by single
stroke.
vardon Leads at start.
Vardon seemed to have the title
clinched nearly all day, starting only
slightly behind this morning and lead
ing by stroke at the end of the first
Is holes with 218, while Leo Dicgel
and Jock Hutchinson had 219 and Ray
220. Vardon increased his chances by
scoring Sc, one over par on the first
nine of the last round, but he began
to miss his shots both from the tee
and on the green, taking six on the
522-yard 18th and the 430-yard seven
teenth and three fives for a AZ on the
final lap.
Ray also showed fatigue on the last
nine, but his forty was offset by PAL
IS on the first half. When he finished
the long contest, Vardon was already
in with 296, tying the score returned
by Burke and the enormous gallery
that covered hillsides along the 332
yard valley fairway of the 18th hole
was on tiptoes to see whether the fin
ish of Diegel or Hutchinson could hole
the title in America.
DlegeI Finishes After Ray.
Diegel was first to finish after Ra,
and word was passed that he needed
three on the last hole to tie the Brit
on's score. The young professional
who learned much of his golf with
Walter Hager, last years champion
while his assistant at Detroit, drove
235 yards down the center of the fair

but refused to drop.

The Western champion also drov'
well and laid his approach in elmos
the same spot that Diegel's ball hat
