Your committee has met 1t is tue, som,
opposition to the new addition, mainly from
old butchers, who desire to mGnopoliZc Tho

that 1t 10 an obstruction to Eighth street. 50
are the unsightly huckstcr stalls and the dllap
ldatcd brick building formerly used as sta
tun.hCusr. Persons doing business In maTkC
space and Pennsylvania avCluC, opposite tn,

with its erection, as 1t has served to MI up tn
