NO SEWER RECORD
Complete Survey OF System
Here May Be Made.
Investigations Being Made by
Planning Board Expert.

Topeka has no complete record OF
it's sewer system. That surprising
fact is brought to light by w W. Hor-
ner of St. Louis, expert in sewer prob
lens, brought } Topeka by the city
planning board.
Homer aske immed .ately for the
complete sewer map or record ana
found there was none. That condition
is no fault of the present city admins
tration, Horner pointed out, but is a
matter of negligence of many years.
In many cases there is record of the
location of sewers. but the record of
the size, depth and fall of the sewers
is lacking, Horner said. 1t IS not un-
usual for cities to neglect such mat
tiers, he said, but added that the rec
o. was of importance and quite nee
essary to efficiency in the system.
May Make Complete Survey.
A complete survey of the city sewer
system may result from Horners visit,
according to Robert Pierce. president
of the cit planning board. Horner
has recommended such a survey to
the local planning board and will
make a report to that effect to Har-
land Bartholomew in st. Louis. who
is in charge of making the Topeka
city plan.
But first of all I would recon-
mend that your city get record of
The sewer survey is much needed
and it would be simplified if the sewer
record were available"
In his brief survey of the sewers
Monday afternoon Horner recognized
danger in the poor sewage and drain
age arrangement in the district of the
Rock Island depot ind the bottoms"
He recommends that something be
done soon about that district, for in
times of high water the present sew
ers allow the river water to back up
into the streets.
Drainage System Suffers
The North Topeka sewer problem
should be considered carefully by the
planning board, city commission and
citizens interested, Horner said. Any
sewer extension in North Topeka
should be of ample, modern type to
care for future sewer needs, and
should not be added little by little in
a haphazard fashion to the present
system. Concerted action on the part
of North Topekans to obtain the sewer
should be taken, he said, rather than
the action of a few.
Sewer extensions have been made in
Topeka haphazardly until the drainage
is suffering from the condition. In
one place siXty-inch sewer and
forty-five inch sewer empty into a

SUES TO COLLECT $40. 1870
C. Wy. Hoyt Mad Defendant I'm Ac-
ton by Kaw Milling Co.

A suit to collect s20,1SO from c. w.
Hoy. manager of the grain depart
ment of the Kaw Milling company.
was filed in the district court Monday
afternoon by the company.
The plaintiff alleges it had con
tract with Hoyt by which he was to
share in the company's profits, and
also in its losses. On August 1, 1920.
he received $15,1SO as his share of
the profits, it is claimed. When the
company afterward suffered financial
reverses Hoyt failed to pay his share,
it is claimed.
The petition states that Hoyt was
notified that his services would be
discontinued after December I, and
that he then went to Emporia, where
he induceds the mana cement of the
Katy Grain company, operated by the
Kaw Milling company, to give him
$4,000. The company asks the re-
covery of both sums, making a total
of S20lSO.

RETURNS FROM OKLAHOMA TRIP
Agricultural Agent of Santa Fe Says
Conditions Arc Improving.

Agricultural Agent of Santa Fe Says
Conditions Arc Improving.
F. P. Cruice, of the Santa FEES agri-
cultural and industrial development
department returned to Topeka Mon
day night from trip thru Oklahoma
and the Texas Panhandle country
Speaking of the latter, Cruice said the
general conditions there were better
than ordinary, due to a good crop
season and favorable prospects for the
future.
All thru that country as we'll as the
southwest in general. Cruice says he
has observed tendency to turn to
diversified crops and the raising of
more poultry and livestock, thereby
getting away from the necessity OF
placing too much dependency upon
market conditions as affecting one or
two commodities. While this plan may
at first result in a loss of tonnage.
perhaps, for the railroads Cruice says
that in time it will prove of mutual
benefit as the communities will be-
come more prosperous and freight
shipments will be more valua Bile.
Since the creation of the agricuI-
tural and industrial department by the
Santa Fe, less than three months ago.
Cruice has been travelling extensively
over the companys territory between
Topeka and Albuquerque. and as the
result of his observations predicts that
the next ten years will see a wonder
full Improvement thruout the south
west. Not only is it improving in an
agricultural way but the towns and
communities are alive and industrial
activities are commencing TO pick up,
he says In this improvement the
Santa FEES new department promises
to be an important factor.

$52175 in common stock to the LeaV-

approval, he says, which is the effect
of the authority now given.

RECORD in CRIME
More Now Than Ever Before,
Says Sheriff Miller.
Similar Conditions Are General
Everywhere, He Declares.
mot CENTERED IN SHAWNEE
Release From Prison to Join
Army, Is Cause.
Drugs Blamed for Ninety Per
Cent, Says Leonard.
NOT CENTERED IN SHAWNEE

There is more crime in Shawnee
fcOunty now than ever before, was the
declaration of Sheriff Robert Miller to-
sday in commenting on state prison re-
ports compiled by N. A. Turner. state
auditor, and showing that for the last
1.-TWO years Shawnee county has con-
ftributed more prisoners to the state
spenitentiary than any other county in
fIIansas.
But Miller does not think that the
scrime wave centers in Shawnee coun-
ty. Similar conditions prevail every
Rwhere, he contends. And one of the
snain reasons for the increase in
sorimes. he suggests, is the fact that
agreat. many men were released from
spenal institutions to join the army
during the war. These men are now
ehome and at large. The drug habit
is also largely responsible for present
conditions, Sheriff Miller thinks.
Figures Are Explained.
I Figures showing Shawnee county's
liberal contributions of prisoners to
Hhe state penitentiary may also be ex-
plained. Miller believes, by the fact
Ehat county officers have been exceed
ingly fortunate in obtaining cOnvic-
ttions. They have also been fortunate
in recovering stolen automobiles.
There is no question" said Miller,
F'but what the county has been lucky
in getting convictions. The increase
in crime may be accounted for. be-
lieve, on the ground that many men
Swere released from prison to go to
war. OF course, I think this was the
proper thing to do. 1t was only fit
ting that these men should be put into
ahe military service. But the after
math is more crime, now that they
are home and at large. The dope
habit is another cause of crime and
gives US more trouble than liquor
ever did"
Crime Caused by Drugs.
Drugs are blamed by Morris Leon
ard, captain of police for practically
80 per cent of the crimes now COM
mitted in Topeka. Captain Leonard
does not concede that Topeka, at
least, is by any means the center of
the crime wave in Kansas.
I'VE have been getting by mighty
lucky compared with many other
towns of similar size" Leonard de-
clared. Moreover, the crimes COM
mitted here are more in the nature of
petty offenses. Dope gives US the most
trouble. It is the cause of most of
the stealing. In the old days a man
could get booze pretty easy and at
little cost. But once the dope habit is
acquired, it costs from IS to $40 a
day and a person who wants dope, |
Will do anything to get it."
