MUNICIPAL, County, State, and National Record, AND MISCELLANEOUS STATISTICS.
The City of Topeka.
TOPEKA, the county seat of Shawnee county and the capital of the State of Kansas, was located on the fifth day of December, 1854, incorporated in 1855, and made the State capital in 1861. It is situated on both banks of the Kansas river, and covers an area of 3,902 acres. Its elevation is 900 to 980 feet above the sea. There are 106 miles of streets, and about 175 miles of sidewalk; over 37 miles of sewer, draining 1,162 acres, with 417 man-holes; 186 storm-water catch-basins, and 157 inlets. The sewers carry off most of the storm-water; they have cost $396,727; bonds to the amount of $324,226 have been issued to pay for them.
Paving was commenced in 1887. There are now 193,810 square yards of asphalt on six inches of concrete foundation, 34,445 square yards of red cedar blocks on concrete, 3,520 square yards of white cedar blocks on the viaduct, 51,642 square yards Colorado sandstone, 10,578 square yards native blue lime- stone, 75,548 square yards of vitrified brick-altogether, 369,543 square yards of paving ; making 6 miles of asphalt, 3.6 miles of vitrified brick, 1.3 miles of Colorado sandstone, I mile of red cedar blocks, and 0.4 mile of native limestone paving. There has been laid by the city about eleven miles of brick sidewalk. - Grading, curbing and paving have cost $1,047,430.
Special-improvement bonds have been issued to the amount of $1,367,475.40. Of this sum, $550,432 has been paid, leaving $817,043.40 outstanding against specific property.
The bonded indebtedness of the city at large is $337,000, together with outstanding school bonds amounting, June 30, 1892, to $243,202.
The population of the city according to the United States census was in 1860, 759; in 1870, 5,700; in 1880, 15,227; in 1890, 31,Soo. The numerous ad- ditions, including the city of Potwin, not within the corporate limits of the city, contained a population of from 9,000 to 11,000, making the population in 1890 over 42,000. At this time, May Ist, 1893, a fair approximation of the popula- tion of the city and its suburbs is placed at 46,385.
