the Statements Of MIR. EntWi isle.

NOmDany'S
the Statements Of Mr.. Entw isle.
To the Editor of The Star:-At the request
of the market company have examined the
report made by Mr.. Thomas b. Entwisle to
the Buildings Of the Washington market COM NJ
pany published in THE EVENING STAR of Feb
ruary, 18th, and find that Mr.. Entwisle has
on the area of market ground included in the
plans submitted to Congress in November
1863 by the original applicants for the market
charter whereas, in fact. this area was con-
before the act passed.
The plans contemplated that the space to be
granted TO the company should extend % feet
beyond the north line of B street as then de-
fined; but the charter actually granted only
10 feet of b street, thus withholding space IS
feet wide by 500 feet long, or 500 square feet
Of course the company could not build on land
not granted to it.
Mr.. Entwise estimates ''222.GS2 superficial
feet of market building less than required by
the charter But he enormously includes the
1850 feet above specified, and does not in
clude the present building for wholesale deal
erS on the north front between the 9TH and 9 h
street wings, containing 1880 square feet. This
building mist be included in the statements,
since it accommodates class of dealers who
have been trading in the square under the old
regime.
Mr.. Entwisle states that the number of stalls
originally planned was 800, of which only 900
have been built. In fact, Go stalls were built
in the three principal buildings. not including
building
A statement is being prepared concerning
the original plans and actual construction OF
the market buildings, and will be submitted
to the committees of Congress. Meantime l
have been requested to correct the above error
made no doubt inadvertently by Mr.. Entwisle,
but which tends to create a wrong and inju-
rious impreS SION. ADOLF CLUsS,
