present location we have seen traffic
and industry increase yearly. There
are more fine buildings located on
Jackson street than on Kansas avenue.
Topeka is growing and business in

than was thought possible ten years
ago. If the population of Topeka
should increase by twenty thousand,
it would be necessary that Jackson

the side streets from the avenue.
