Parks.
Topeka's park system is yet in its infancy. The laying out of rest and beauty spots has been given little attention until the past year or two. The rapid building-up of the city and the increase in value of property have brought about the realization of the scarcity of parks and the necessity of getting them now before all the available land has become occupied. The Park Commission has had but small encouragement to make beautiful what little ground the city

owns as parks. the annual park appropriation being too small to admit of adequate improve- ment; but the people are awake to the necessity of beautifying the city, and it is intended to increase the levy each year until Topeka is supplied with a system of beautiful parks that will be a feature of the capital city's advantages.
Central Park. Between Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets, extending one and one-half blocks cast of Clay street. A tract of 151% acres, recently acquired by the city, and as yet unimproved.
City Park. Located on the Kansas river, and extending from Kansas avenue to Harrison street. This is the oldest public park in the city, and though twice inundated by the floods is becoming a sightly spot.
Chesney Park. Between Buchanan and Lincoln streets and Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
Gage Park. A suburban tract of eighty acres. located three miles west of city hall, and extending from the extension of Tenth avenue north to that of Sixth avenue, a distance of one-half mile, and being one quarter of a mile wide. This tract was gift of the late G. G. Gage to the city. and conveyed for park purposes. Here is located the headquarters of the park superintendent, A. Reinisch.
Holliday Park. A large triangle south of Twelfth street, between the junction of Taylor street and Western avenue. Neatly fenced with iron fence and beautifully kept.
Huntoon Park. A small triangle east of Topeka avenue, at the junction of Twelfth and Huntoon streets.
There are in addition several small parkings, such as the circles in Potwin's addition, the strip on the north side of Huntoon street. east of Taylor street. and others of a similar char- acter that are under the jurisdiction of the city park board commission.
Garfield Park. Adjoins the city limits on the north and abuts Kansas avenue. This is a private park. and has been of little valne as a resort since the flood of 1903, when it was com- pletely deluged. and much of its natural beauty ruined.
Vinewood Park. Four miles southeast of the city. Owned and operated by the Topeka Railway Company.
