PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT AT THE WASHINGTON
MARKET.
MI n. G. Ordway, OF the Washington Market
company, mas addressed a communication to
lne Dlstrlct commissioners. in which he saws
AS AS OH mas been reported from the House
c0mmIttee on The District intending to settle
al questions OF rent and taxes between the
DlStrlct ana the market company. in which he
rental to be paid to the poor fund is increased
company viii probably not antagonize have
thought this good time to ask your assent
subject TO any action OF Congress or the courts
to the opening OF five or six foot walk from
the south side OF Pennsylvania avenue opposite
the center OF sth street across the park or lot
designed for District building. The original
plan provided for a passage way from the south
side OF pennsylvania avenue opposite Sth street
TO the main market. / now propose, as no
building will probably be erected upon this
'front.' lot for some time, to ask that in view of
the increased rental to the poor fund the simple
assent OF the Commissioners to allow the mar
ket company to construct a handsome bridge
or walk not exceeding six feet wide with iron
fence, sides exactly like the present fence around
the park and TO run across the present enclo-
sure. After crossing the little park l would
Ike 20 nave steps from the left hand OF the
walk pass down, as they necessarily would
three or four feet to the ground; while on
the n,a right roS side Of the walk to have
level of the floor of the second story Of the new
wholesale market building and thence extend
the walk with closed sides up, say two feet.
l.
common as drive way to the building. enter
ihg at 1he second story. This building por-
tlon OF Wn1cn is now wholly unused could be
turned into handsome bazaar Or market for
small goods, flowers, and any OF the other ortli
nary trades. And as there is a wide hallway run
nlng the entire length of this building from east
10 west covered way could be extended to the
second stories of the 18th and 9tn streets wings
or the market. and thus enable ladies or Others
wishing to visit the market to leave their car
rlageS On pennsylvania avenue passing via
this bridge or walk through the second story of
the bazaar, and thence by the covered way
when nave named down into the 18th and 9th
streets wings OF the market without being eX-
posed TO the crowd, or to the weather. This
proposition is made with view of giving better
accommodations to the public and to the utiliza-
ton OF the upper portions of the wholesale
market building in order to enable the com
paDy TO meet its increased Obligations I trust
You VIII give this matter early and careful at
tention ana VIII add that if the assent asked for
IS gwen, shall be quite willing to have the
passage ways referred to erected under the
Supervision OF your inspector, Mr.. Entwisle"

Inc commissioners have taken no action as
