Twenty-Eight Deaths in That
City Since January 1.
DIR. Brown Proud of Record
Made i'm Topeka.

A communication from the city
health department of Kansas City.
Kan, to DR.. Earle G. Brown. city
health officer of Topeka. received to-
day, states that there have been
twenty-eight deaths in Kansas City,
kan. from smallpox since January l
of this year This in spite of the ia ct
that the Kansas City health depart
ment spent $4,000 in vacc.nating 80
600 persons during the smallpox cpl
demic of November and December.
Topeka has a right to be proud of
her record of freedom from small
pox." Doctor Brown said today. we
haven't had a death from smallpox in
Topeka since 1912. But every I'M
vaccinated person is a risk not only
to himself but to the general public.
Vaccination in Schools.
THAT is the reason that I applied
to the state health department for
permission to issue an order for the
vaccination of all pupils. teachers and
employees in the high school.
THE order was approved by the
state health department., and was at
the high school this morning. making
4 check-up of the pupils who have re
Gently been vaccinated.
There will be a few of the pupils
who for various reasons will remain
out of school for the twenty-five day
period, rather than be vaccinated.
Outside of these, however we will
have 100 per cent immunity from
smallpox in the high school itself"
There were numerous high school
in the offices of the health
today being vaccinated or
having certificates issued for recent
so that they might again |
attend classes.

REJECT A REPORT
Appraisers Findings Are Found
Te-Be Illegal.
Owner of Real Estate Was Not
Given Notice.

The report of the board of apprais-
ers. George L. Tuer. George w. Adam
son and w T. Dawson. appointed to
determine the benefits and damages
resulting from condemnation Of \
tract OF seven lots at the foot of To-
peka boulevard. was rejected by the
city commission this morning.
The report-fyas Illegal, because it
was brought out that the appraisers
had not given notice to f. w. Klasse.
owner of the land, of their intention
to meet and appra.se the value of the
tract
Settlement Is Discussed.
Klasse. with an attorney. W. c.
Ralston, appeared at the commission
meeting this morning to discuss a set
1lernent with the city.
klasse made it plain that he does
not desire the city to take the entire
tract OF land, and that he Will fight
any effort to take it at the price of
$4,000 which was assessed by the APP
praisers.
There is located on the land in
question one of the Harrison street
wells belonging to the city waterworks
department and regarded as one OF
the most valuable OF the wells in the
HxaterwOrks system. The city now
pays rental of SIS per month for the
tract of ground, twenty-five feet
square, on which the well is located.
klasse's attorney charged that the
city is not contemplating taking over
the Seven-lot tract as any immediate
necessity. and therefore it is not-en-
titled to condemn and take over the
property, under the state laws. He
also asserted that the purpose for |
which the land is being taken over is |
not that stated in the ordinance pro-
viding for the condemnation of the |
tract, and that the city appraisers did /
not take into account all the factors |
" hich enter into the value of the land /
before making their report
offers Counter Proposition.
Elasse offered as a counter PROPOSE
ton. the sale of the tract to the city
for $500; the sale of the twenty-five /
foot square piece on which the well I,
stands. for s1.5OO. or fifty-year lease
of the small tract at a monthly rental I
of $3.50
Since the report was technically in
valid. the commission rejected it this
morning. and authorized the mayor to
appoint a new set of appraisers. 1t
was stated that an effort to conpro-
mise would be made before the next
board of appraisers turns in a report
