CITY TO LEASE GROUND
Mayor Authorized to Sign Lease With
Il. w Klasse.


The city commission this morning
in regular session settled a bone Of
contention which has been agitating
that body to a certain extent, for some
months-the acquisition of the land
at the foot of Topeka boulevard on
which one of the city water wells has
been drilled, belonging to F. w.
Klasse-
The city first passed an ordinance
condemning a tract of ground twenty
five feet square, on which the well
is located. The report of the apprais-
ers appointed, was rejected by the
commission.
Then an ordinance was passed pro-
viding for the condemnation of a
larger tract including seven lots. The
appraisers report was rejected on &C
count of an error in its preparation.
Klasse submitted this morning
written proposal to the city for the
lease of the twenty-five foot tract on
which the we'll is drilled, at a monthly
rental of $3.50, the lease to hold for
fifty years, unless the city sees fit to
cancel it after two years of occupa-
ton. The proposal was accepted by
the city commission and the mayor
was authorized to sign the lease.
