Stanfield declared that there was .
more abundant source of water at
the site of these wells than at the

The city commissioners accepted the
propositions offered by four engineer

cation of Topeka's water situation to
see whether a supply of water suffi-
cient for the city could be obtained
from wells or whether a filtration
plant would have. to be installed. The
mayor was authorized to sign CON
tracts for an investigation.
Topeka is in a worse condition. with
regard to its water supply, than any
