TaB CITY N ARK1rs.-Ths 0Nsesscss ID rathsr
OF the act IN its article o. {" Monopoly In oar
Markets" IL takes for Its text . resoi utioa Of
Tered in the Board Of Aldermen authorizing
the hitting up Of certain stalls in the Center
Market and supposes that there is large de-
mand Tor additional facilities for hucksterlng
In Center Market. Thereupon il tngs dis
trlb~ against the authorities for not providing
accommodations for a large number OF huck-
sters additional to those now engaged in the
business The fact Is that the proposed stalls
are in the butchers market where there is an
opportunity TO rent some additional ones. In
the other departments of the market there are,
we believe, a considerable number Of stalls
vacant showing no want OF accommodation
there, such as IL is. Had Congress given the
Corporation the REQ uisite authority, we should
have had ere this . market building erected
that would have been a credit to the city, and
where business could have been transacted
with some comfort to both dealers and Gus
toners.
As above stated, there is accommodation,
such as it is, and more than enough for the
present demand, and so far from there being
business enough for many more b ucksters The
Chronicle would find on q little inquiry that
that business, like many others, is so over
crowded and dull, that numbers are deserving
IL for more lucrative occupations. The real
need IS for first-class market house. such as
the Corporation had commenced building
when stopped by legislative interference,
manly through the clamor of the Chronicle
That such structure may be made decided
ornament to any street is shown by the taste
iul market house erected in GEORGETOWN. The
nave been one of the handsomest buildings in
the city.
