the result of the work of these diff

all departments, while fifty-four per-
sons united with the church during
the past year. With no debts out

a balace for the year. The reports
showed this meeting to be the best
annual meeting from financial

Some objection to the new sewer
proposition for North Topeka, IS oelng
raised by persons owning lots In the
outskirts of North Topeka. as lhey
claim that the sewer will cost more
than the property is worth. The new
district comprises practically all the
unsewered district of the North s,de
and will extend from Western avenue
on the west to the Santa Fe right-of-
way on the east and as far north as the
creek. The city engineer told mem
bers of the North Topeka Civic cup
recently that the installation OF the
sever system will not exceed over $50
a. number and in all probability, Will
be much less. -g..-
A meeting of the city commission
will be held next Tuesday morning at
$40 for the purpose of passing upon
the proposed sewer.
