TIE PosTPoNEMENT OF THE SALE OF STALLS
This morning the doors OF the new buld ngS
we're thrown open and numbers of dealers and
others stopped in to look at the work, and
although most OF the butchers stalls IN the eth
street wing were found in place, the irons had
not been put up, there having been some DELAY
IN receiving them from New London, where the
IRON work Is being done. In the other wing the
carpenters and plasterers were buSily emDioyed
at their work. Shortly after 10 O'Clock, the hour
at which the sale had been advertised 10 COM
Inence, Messrs. Ordway and Chandler walked
soon joined by the president of the company
MI NJ u. Emery, and in a short time about IS
persons had gathered around them. most OF them
being butchers and other market men, with a
lew strange faces interspersed and this crowd
continued to grow larger until il was nearly
doubled in number. About TO- O'Clock MI
0 .g mounted one OF the benches and read
the notice OF sale, and explained that under the
charter, they were required to sell the right To
occupy the stands at public auction. When the
day OF sale was set they fully expected to have
had all the stalls ready, but owing to a dis4p-
continent in receiving the iron work they had
not been able to have all ready. Under the
eharter the directors of the market company
ana the corporation were required to fix
THE RENTAL OF TIE STALLS.
ara the old corporation having been legislated
out that duty devolyed on the Governor, and he
with the board had performed 1t. The butchers
stalls were in Is feet sectionS-3 stalls each 6
feet fIont and deep, being feet shorter than
in the old market, and the value was about the
same, the company bearing all the expenS es
and having the stalls ready for Occupancy
They had come to the conclusion that it would
be equitable to fix the rate at about the same
price as IN the old market, the two feet OIL the
length OF the new stalls being reckOned equiya-
lent TO the expense of fitting II up. This rental
was s14 per month, and included water gas
and taxes. In the temporary building they now
pay S13s per month and 81 for gas III might
seem TO the dealers that this was pretty hfgh
rental, yet when they consider that the com
pany have TO paw $4,000 10 the poor, Sf2 OO1
taxes asd that the paving taxes already amounts
TO $4,000, they can safely calculate that the
company will have TO pay from 900 to
10000 per year. They hoped however when
me mann building Is occupied that they will be
able TO cut down this rate. He explained
further that the butter, bacon, vegetable and
bread stands would be at proPOrtiOnate rates
MI. Ordway then read the proceedings of tue
