The monthly report of the Registrar was cor
rect
REMOVAL OF THE oURB MARKETS.
This subject came up as unfinished business,
and Mr.. Foulk's amendment limiting the space
occupied by the farmers to SIT. by 2ft, was lost.
Mr.. Foulk suggested that il the space was too
much 1t might be increased.
Whereupon Mr.. Quinn offered an amendment
enlarging the space to feet by feet. This
amendment prevailed.
Mr.. Quinn moved to reconsider the vote by
which the amendment locating the fish market
between I'd and Sd, on King, was lost.
The motion being carried, Mr.. Quinn submitted
an amendment requiring the location OF the fish
market below I'd on King.
Mr.. Foulk said there was no objection to the
market where it now il, but there was obiec-
tion to its removal further down the street. II
the fish market is removed and the farmers
market usurps its place, it will greatly interfere
with the extensive business of Bellah Il Co.
kets in any street had become pretty much of a
nui ance, and would interfere with somebody's
business in any street. The proper plan was to
take them out altogether, and he would like to
see them removed to large market house erect
ed somewhere in the city.
Mr.. Pickes offered as an amendment to Mr.
Quinn's amendment that Sd street be stricken
out and 2nd street be inserted, or that the far
mer's market extend Northward from 2nd street,
on King, when the amendment was passed.
The question recurring ON the amendment as
amended, Mr.. Foulk renewed his objection to
this by reason of its interference with Bellah &
Co. Is business
Mr. Quinn thought the rights of individuals
were as much to be regarded as the rights of
this gigantic firm. The principal part of the
business along King street was between End and
3d. while between Front and End there are
scarcely any business houses at all
Mr.. Febiger stated that the loading and un-
loading done by this firm was all within doors,
and the only interference would be in passing
out and in to their yard. They would be no more
inconyenienced than was the Adams Expres Co.,
and similar arrangement could be provided
for them, which would prevent the obstruction
of their entrance.
The amendment was carried and the fish mar
ket was then located below End street.
Sections and of the ordinance were then
passed.
As substitute for the 3rd section, which
provides that the ordinance shall take effect
from anu AIIef lne lbt OF may MT. tlne-
gan offered that the curb market be dispensed
with on and after Jan. lst next, and that the
market then be held in market houses.
In support of his amendment, Mr.. Finegan
said it would obviate many difficulties which
would be encountered in the removal of the
markets, and it would protect the butchers. II
is time to consider this subject and build market
houses. 1t is hardly just for the Market street
petitioners to ask for the removal of an obstruc-
tion from their own doors to somebody else't
door and as for the King street petition.
