COSTLY MISTAKES
"Standard Grade" Ordinance
May Cause Trouble.
Sidewalks Flooded With Water
but Can't Be Fixed.
COUNCIL TO DECIDE.
Committee Investigating West
Sixth Street Situation.
To Kelay Submerged Sidewalks
Would Cost 10,000.
This afternoon the streets and walks
committee will visit the place on West
Sixth avenue between Tyler and Polk
where the sidewalks are always under
water when it rains. The committee
will decide by this visit whether or not
the city should pay for raising- side
walks which are "on grade," but which,
paradoxical as it may seem, ought not
to be there.
The decision of the committee will
likely be the decision of the council,
and a great many people In Topeka are
awaiting with much interest the out
come. If the council decides that the city
must fix the sidewalks so that they will
not be flooded by rain, it will involve
the expenditure of thousands of dol
lars. JS'orth Topeka will be especially
affected by the decision. Ten thousand
dollars would not cover the cost of the
work.
"If the council decides that side
walks must be raised when water
runs over them." said City Kngineer
MeCabe. "four out of every ten blocks
of sidewalk in North Topeka will ha"ve
to be relaid. Three hundred feet of a
sidewalk on Leland street between
Third and Fourth will have to be re
laid. I could ro over the town and pick
out dozens of places where the city
would have to relay the walks if it
once establishes the precedent."
The trouble all arises from the cum
bersome system which prevails in To
peka of having- "standard grades" es
tablished for every sidewalk in town,
possibly long before the sidewalk was
built, or the street opened. "Standard
grades" are fixed by ordinance. The
latest ordinance for general gTadea was
passed in 1H&2. It was drawn up
City Kngineer George Neeley. While
Louis Kingman was city engineer, some
new additions were taken into the city,
and new standard grades established
for the portions taken in.
Theoretically, no doubt, the work of
Mr. Neeley and Mr. Kingman was all
right. They sat at Lheir desks with
their maps and scales and plats and fig
ured out just what every sidewalk and
street should be to give the best drain
age. But in practice, the result of their
labors was an absolute detriment and
hindrance to the work of sidewalk
building.
It used to be the custom to put a
sidewalk "on grade" regardless of
where the grade might be. If it was
necessary to make a cut fifty feet deep

to find the standard grade, it was done
fjith a blissful assurance that all
would come out right in the end. Now
adays, however, it is deemed best, on
the whole, to ignore the provisions of
the grade ordinance when that or
dinance is manifestly incorrect and ab
surd. Present methods, however, do not ef
fect the work done in past years. The
sidewalk on the north side of Sixth
street between Polk and Tyler is an ex
ample of the bad results of following
too literally the "standard grade" of
the ordinance.
People on the block in question
brought the matter before the council
by asking that the city raise their side
walk about six inches. They claimed
that every time a heavy rain fell it
submerged the sidewalk, washed dirt
onto it, and rendered the north side
of the street almost impassable.
The council was advised by City En
gineer MeCabe that if it decided to
raise that sidewalk, which is now on
the standard ordinance grade, it would
likely encounter a serious and costly
situation, for people in many other
parts of town would rightfully demand
that their sidewalks be raised in the
same way. The council, acting upon
Sir. Mc-Cabe's advice, voted that the
property owners would have to raise
the sidewalk at their own expense.
Thereupon J. K. Bair and several
others made a strong plea on behalf
of the people living in that block, and
the council reconsidered the question,
and referred it to the committee on
streets and walks for consideration.
The committee on streets and walks
will make its investigation this after
noon. It will cost from $40 to $30 to raise
300 feet of sidewalk six inches. The
bricks have to be taken up, more sand
put in, the brick rela.id. and the parks
and bed for the sidewalk brought up to
the grade of the walk. At this rate it
would cos": from $n.00 to ST. 000 to relay
the North Topeka sidewalks alone.

ilVAL PICNICS.
Dispute Between Promoters of
Labor Day Celebrations.
Modocs Claim That They Ilare
Played Fair.
SHAFFER'S STATEMENT
Says the Picnic for Laborers is
at Vinewood.
Says There Are Kickers
Trades Council.
in
"Some people think," said Council
man Joseph Griley, who is also a prom
inent member f the Modoc club, "that
the Modocs and Alrshall's band have
stolen a march on the Trades and Labor
Council by arranging for a picnic and
celebration of Labor day at Garfield
park. People have come to meand said,
'It was a dirty trick you folks played
by getting the park ahead of the labor
ing men.
"Now the fact is." continued . Mr.
Griley, "that I, as a member of a com
mittee of the Modocs. w as trying to get
up a joint celebration of Labor day by
the Trades and Labor Council ami the
Modoc club. Part of the assembly
wanted to have a picnic, part wanted a
parade, and part wanted to go to St.
Joe for the big celebration there. Final
ly they had a meeting and decided to go
to St. Joe.
"That left Topeka without any cele
bration at all of Labor day. All the
stores and offices would be closed, and
nothing going on for people to attend.
So I told Mr. Shaffer, secretary of the
Trades Council, that I would try to get
Marshall's band and the Modocs to go
in together and get up a celebration,
and he said that was a good scheme. So
I made the necessary arrangements
with John Marshall, and we went ahead
with our plans.
"About this time the Trades Council
found that it could not get the railroad
rates it expected to get for the trip to
St. Joseph, and it decided to give up the
whole thing. Then some one wanted to
have a picnic, and from that started the
plan to go to Vinewood park. The
Modocs and Marshall's band vion't want
any tight with the Trades Council, but
we do not like to have people think
that we were trying to take any un
fair advantage of the laboring people.
We can't change our plans now, be
cause the Trades Council objects to the
ten cent admission fee which we are
charging, and I don't suppose we can
give a free show because we are at a
great deal of expense to provide the
attractions which we offer. Besides,
the members of Marshall's band are
away now, and no change could be
made in their absence."
Secretary Shaffer, of the Trades Coun
cil, affirmed all that Mr. Griley said
about the arrangements for the picnic
at Garfield park and the trip to St.
Joseph.
"I do not think that the Modocs or
Mart-hall's band are to blame for what
they have done," said Mr. Shaffer. "We
had to give up our St. Joe trip because
the railwavs wanted to charge us $! for
the trip instead of Jl.iffi. As a matter of
fact, howpver. there is but one Labor day
celebration, and that is the one at Vine
wood park. The celebration at the other
park has nothing to do whatever with
the laboring men of the city.
" There are a lot of kickers and old fo
gies in every organization," remarked Mi'.
Shaffer. ":.ind we have some in the Trades
council. Thure are sever.il opposing fac
tions in the council, and if we ciuld make
this fighting among ourselves stop, we
would get along a great di al better.
"The result of this tight will be that
there will not be a lart,-e attendance at
either picnic. There will only be a few
people at Vinewood and only a few at
Garlield. We should have gotten together
on our picnic at the start, and ail this
trouble would have been avoided.
"Some of the members of our organiza
tion are opposed to charging any admis
sion, and therefore we could not agree to
go in on the Oar field park picnic under
its present scheme of charging admission.
For mv part, however. 1 raii't nee why it
isn't all riftlit to charge ten oits admis
sion. We have to get money from some
where to pay our expenses, and why not
from admissions as well as anything
else? Of course it is all right in theory
to have everything free on Ibor day.
but it takes money to get up a pleasant
celebration, and it is only a question of
how and where we will get it."
The Vinewood park railway is planning
to make n special rate of 15 cents for the
round trip to Vine wood park. If it were
r-t for this it would cost 2 cents to go
to Vinewool park and ; cents to go to
tiariield park. The laboring man would
have only to choose whether he paid his
mor.ev to' the railway company or to Mar
shall's band and the Modocs.

OFFERS A REWARD.
May Help Unravel Garden City Mur
der Mystery.
Governor Stanley today offered a re
ward of $250 to solve Garden City's
murder mystery. It is to stimulate the
apprehension of the murderer of Mat
thew Brennan. a Garden City bachelor.
Brennan's dead body was discovered
in his little one-room house last Satur
day. The boy who tended the "town
herd of cows" made the discovery by
sense of smell. Brennan's body was
found decomposing, his skull crushed
in. His trunk waa rifled and the mat
tress of the bed turned up at both ends.
Brennan was last seen Wednesday
evening coming home from the race
track. The Finney county fair had just
begun that day. Brennan was 50 years
old and had accumulated a small
amount of property.
When the stench brough on an inves
tigation the single door of the house
was found locked with a padlock and a
heavy w ire screen was nailed over the
one window.
The local authorities have already
offered a $350 reward, so there is now
$600 up for the capture of the mur
derer. County Attorney Geo. L. Miller
is pushing: the investigation.
"The case is one which needs closest
investigation." he says. "Several small
clues have developed that need the ex
perience of an able detective. One or
two parties, known to be without
means, have used considerable money.
It is rumored to the effect that Bren
nan had recently stated that he could
send certain, parties to the peniten
tiary." We Take All the Salmon.
