GET HOTEL SITE READY
E. H. Crosby Files Deed and Sues to
Remove Tenants.

E. HI. Crosby Files Decd and SueS to
Remove Tenants.
The first move on the part of the
interests representing the new hotel
location, southeast corner of jackson
and Seventh streets, to make the site
ready, was made late Tuesday after
noon by the filing of a deed at the
court house showing transfer of the
corner by William E. and Laura B.
Hahn to E. H. Crosby.
The deed carried with it the usual
stipulation of ''for the consideration OF
ST." but the piece of paper bears $50
in revenue stamps showing that the
transaction involved $4,000.
simultaneously, a suit was filed
with the clerk of the district court
by Crosby against Mr. and Mrs. Hahn
asking for damages of $25, 900, claim
ing that one of the conditions of the
transfer of the corner was that 1t
was free of membranes while the
plaintiff charges that he is unable to
get possession of the property because
several parts of 1t are held by other
persons under lease.
This action is understood to be Tor
the purpose of bringing about nego-
tiations that will result in the various
tenants giving up their leases. Among
the lease holders are George Gray. a
barber. Hal Patterson, sewing machine
dealer: Ben Barrett, shoemaker; M. A

EAST SIXTH STREET YIADUCT

Now that the Sixth street concrete
road is nearing completion and prac-
tically all of the tourist traffic and
hauling is coming in or going out on
the concrete highway. Topeka is sadly
in need of a viaduct that will not have
nails protruding from old rickety
boards to cause tire trouble to our out
of town visitors.
with millions of dollars spent on
making one of the best roads in the
country, a little thought should be
given to the gateway to our city. The
present viaduct over East Sixth street
is not a structure to be proud Of.
It leaves a bad taste in the mouth of
the tourist both coming in and going
out of Topeka.
Topeka needs a new hotel and they
also need a modern fireproof viaduct
at the east entrance of the city.
why not get behind a new viaduct
plan and boost Topeka a little higher?
Lets CO." Now for a new hotel
and a new viaduct in Topeka. Very
truly yours.

vent them proceeding with the con-
struction of about three miles of side

an unnecessary and unjust expense to
the taxpayers.
