WASHING TON MARKET RENTS.
Tracing Some Rumors Of What may Possibly
he Done amer the Election.

In 1869 when Connolly was Comptroller and
the Tweed Ring At the zenith OF it, power the
rents OF the stalls in Washington Market were
suddenly raised three hundred TO four hundred
per cent The market men were powerless.
Every mans permit read: This permit is re-
vocable at the pleasure OF the Comptroller. and
cannot be transferred without his written
permission" There were always enough per-
sons ready to take the stall OF any complaining
tenant. and beyond the heavy rental demanded
stall keepers had to pay large sums as bribes to
inspectors and collectors. who might otherwise
take their stalls from them arbitrarily. AS
much as 81 900 has been paid 10 the Superin-
tendent Of Markets 20 get the Comptroller's
written permission for transfer.
In some respects late years have brought re-
form in the management of this market. Arbi-
trary evictions have hacome rare. bribes are no
longer demanded and permission for trans.
fer now costs only SLIP clerks fees, instead Of
from s400 TO 81 900 But enormous rents are
still demanded. and the permits still contain
that threatening clause.
Market began an agitation for a redu ;tion OF
their rents. ana appointed US their committee
10 wait upon the Comptroller Messrs. James
Kay. butter and cheese dealer; Thorn Walling
poultrymnn;C. A. Lewis, fishm1onGer; NJ + IAN
agan. butter dealer: and W. F. Vail. butcher
superintendent Of Markets. Mr. Yarian. and TO
Comptroller Kelly the manner IN which their
rents were raised in 1869 and added that while
all other rentals had been reduced, their rents
alone were maintained at such high rates that
they could not bear the burden. and they point
ed out that the space OF about twenty-five city
lots occupied by the market PAYS what is prac-
cnlly little more than ground rent Of over
800 600 year, or over 81 800 n lo;.
The Comptroller took the mnrketmen's Rricv-
ances into consideration and recently promised
the committee that n reduction OF 10 per cent.
should bs mudc after tho election. That did
not satisfy the marketmcn. They say that il
should jlstly be 49,, per cent. and accordingly
on Monday last they made another appeal.
through their committee. to the Comptioller
aud he promised TO make known his decision on
the saturday after the election. Yesterday,
however 1t WIS rumOred IN the market that
Dandy" Williams. the collector OF the stall
rents, mad told marketmcn that the reduction
would go into effect on the 18TH OF NoVcmber
and would be from % to 80 per cent. The
rumor could not be traced TO any authentic
source. marketman said:
The Cumptroler's candidate. Mr.. Schell
will get very few votes down mere. We don I
think he has used us right. and We see no rea-
son why we should support his man. especially
when we think. rs We generally do, that the
