CITY OF POTWIN PLACE.
THE city of Potwin Place is located west of the city and south of the Kan- sas river. It is practically a part of Topeka, but is incorporated as a city of the third class. Its citizens are some of the most prominent business and professional men of Topeka, who erected handsome suburban residences in a desirable loca- tion, and in order to avail themselves of school facilities and internal improve- ments that the city could not supply them, incorporated the addition as an independent corporation. Since the enrollment of Potwin Place was made for this Directory the city council passed an ordinance providing for house numbers to conform with the parent city. So far as it was possible, the numbers given in this work have been changed to the new numbers.
