REPORTS OF SPECIAL COMMUTERS
OF Committee on New Market
To the Honorable tie President and Members
of the Common Council of the City of Saint
Paul:
0GENTLEMEN: Allow me on behalf of the
committee of the Market House to present the
final estimate on the completion of the said
building.
believe the contractors have complied with
and carried out the contract in every particu-
lar. l must congratulate the city in getting so
prompt and reliable class of contractors.
Everything has moved like clock work from
the time they commenced work until the lob
was finished.
Not a misunderstanding or disposition on
the part of the contractors to slight the work
or wrong the city out of a farthing; not one
feature IN building operations has been omit
ted; not change in the plans nor single cent
added to the cost of the building since it was
commenced. The custom of the country is to
allow changes in the plans of construc.
ton, giving the contractor an opportunity to
add one-fourth or even one third to the origin
al cost of the structure. Not 80 in our case,
Our architect, Mr.. Radcliff had all of his plans
and specifications well digested and per
fected that we avoided the customary addi-
tional expense to the surprise and disappoint-
ment of the contractor.
Well may the city feel proud of such noble,
commanding and useful structure, and built
at 80 small expense. Many believed it would
cost 300 600, and none supposed such mag
nifcent structure, complete in all its parts,
could have been built for the money. In q
short time it will be the beehive of the city.
You will hear the click of the cleaver and the
buzz of the butchers saw. Fatted bullocks
from the Saskatchewan valley and mountains
of Montana. Fish from the Atlantic and Paci-
tic oceans, as we'll as the Gulf of Mexico.
Fruits from Southern fields. as well as Truman
Smiths garden. Flowers from the valleys and
berries from the hills. All will contribute to
our market house. The grocery man, game
man, dairy man, and tea man, pork and sausage
man, all will claim place to do business in
our emporium. Every thing family can eat
or drink will be found here. Also hall where
the young can trip the light fantastic toe or
listen to the sweet melody of the Eolian harp
or listen to the eloquence of the popu.
lar orator. Not satisfied with this,
step in the great room where even Justice will
be meted out daily to those in need, on scales
that are properly balanced, and trust our city
attorney, w. p. Murray, will attend to the
weighing.
& The basement is all that could be desired for
convenience. Here you will find the dining
room tables laden with choice viands, and
tempting the appetite; also the lunch counter,
laden with Yankee pork and BEANS fried cakes
and coffee, chickens and cheese, pretzels and
Switzercase-everything good to eat, from a
fve-cent lunch to a twenty five cent dinner.
These attractions will call people to our mar
ket house and make 1t the great trading mart
of the city. The rich and the poor, the saint
and the sinner, the old men and maidens, all
will come. The small children will drop their
playthings, and they will cry to come when
their parents start with the market basket to
be replenished with the dslicacies and delicious
fruits from our great central market. Very
respectfully, A.. ALLEN. Chairman
Accepted.
