before the committee providing for the con-
struction Of q market house on COrcOran
square, bounded by o. p, and It'll streets,
known as square 446. Judge jeremiah VIII

Northern Liberty market was summarily
destroyed, and IL was the unders standing
with the dealers In IL, at the time OF its de-
struction. that they should be provided with
another market. and many OF them still 90
cupied the rickety sheds temporarily, put
up with the hope that the promise made then
10 build new market would be kept Mr.
Wilson then presented a substitute for the
bill pending, which substitute cOntemplates
the erection OF building which will not cost
the District any money, but In fact be q
source OF revenue. The idea is to build q
market capable of holding 200 stalls. First
the ground plan is TO be drawn and the rents
collected in advance on the shown therein AZ
g per year. This would raise S12 600. After
the completion OF the stalls they are to be
soid at auction, and be held by the buyer in
