No wonder Topeka grew and was
admired as city. In 1884 there were
seven citizens In Topeka, in 1854
there were $50 in the city. in 1870 the
city was proud of its population of
$3.50, in 1880 it boosted 1888, and in
1885 there were 2249s people in the
city. Today there are more than twice

How Topeka was planned sixty
five years ago is an absorbing story.
Few of us know that the main part
of our city is the realized dream
Of the first city planners of Topeka
the pioneers of the 'fifties, who
painstakingly surveyed and laid out
the first streets and blocks OF the
city and transplanted trees from
the river bank TO the prairie town
in working toward their dreams:
Today the well laid out city OF
shaded streets and comfortable
homes is a monument to the first
day planners ard their inspiring
vision. That monument should be
a reminder to the citizens of today
to be worthy heirs of the CIVIC
legacy. No better method of serv-
ing the city can be found than
support of the city planning move
uent now under way in Topeka
surely men of today have as nucn
vision as did the pioneers of the
'fiftiesl

the city and their size that has indi-
Gated care for many years makes one
wonder, tho, how those pioneers
could plant so many trees and plant
them so well scattered over the city.
Here's the intensely interesting ex-
PLANTATION of that: 1t was a require
ment in~those early days that trees
must be planted wherever property
was owned and if the property owner
did not do SO the city would proceed
to do SO and charge the cost to the
property owners taxes.
As early as 1858 the city council
commanded the citizens to plant the
trees. The ordinance responsible for
our tree-shaded Topeka of today
reads as follows.
Be it ordained by the mayor and
council of the city of Topeka:
Section THAT any owner OF q lot
upon which a building has been erect
ed shall set out or cause to be set out
shade trees in front OF such lot or
lots, eighteen feet from the line of
the lots on the avenues, thirteen feet
on the 100 foot streets, and ten feet on
the 80 foot streets.
Section THAT upon the refusal or
neglect OF any person to comply with
the provisions OF the first section of
this ordinance, the street commits
be set out In the manner aforesaid
and the cost thereof shall. be charged
in the delinquent tax list
What City Planning Can Do.
How graphic an example of what
city planning can dol How great a
service was that tree planting. And
how inconsiderate of any citizen of
today who is opposed to planning for
the future, after he is enjoying the
fruits of the forethought OF those who
planned for him and his generation.
Surely there are no persons in Topeka
who would pull back the city planning
commission from proceeding to build
the town with a view to the welfare
of the city in years to come. Some
cities do have sspullbacks'' from the
city planning projects: what would be
the opinion of those original city plan
ners who visualized the city of today
OF the citizens of today who did not
look into the future?
A city in a forest" is a term used
to apply to Topeka thirty years after
the tree planting had begun, when
the flourishing result OF the efforts of
the pioneers was in evidence. In 1889
another important city planning ordi-
nance was passed, which provided for
the setting apart OF one-fourth OF the
breadth of each street for "parks'' to
be decorated and cared for by the
owners of abuttfng lots. And SO we
inherit from those far-seeing pioneers
our wide. attractive markings along
the city streets. y
