MhrkeC SnaH stay ana GtNes Iuc test
Side People Market.
CounciPe adjourned session last night to
consider the market ordinance drew over
100 interested spectators. Before 1t was
taken up Mr.. Talley introduced an Adi-
nance reducing the salaries of the city vac
cine physicians from 500 to $50, and on
motion of Mr.. Paynter the vote by which
the amendment to the Health ordinance was
passed was reconsidered. Then on motion
of Mr.. Blake the ordinance establishing and
regulating the public. market of tho city was
taken up for final consideration.
Mr.. Eastbnrn then presented remon-
strances from some 1900 citizens, including
business men and residents on King, French
and Market streets, and the farmers and
truckers, against changing the market from
King street. He asked to have them read
tor the following reasons
First-that ,J2S persons, bona Jide citizens
as the vouchers show, have dlsapproved OF
removing the farmers market from King
street.
.Second--for the reason set forth in the
remonstrance as solid and sound.
Third--you would do great act of injus-
tice to the business men of King street with
out any Just public reason for doing so.
Fourth-you would do an injury to the
business men Of Market street, and their dis
approval is shown by their signing the re-
monstrance, as the paper will show.
Fifth-Freneh street is Objectionable for
several reasons among which are two fire
companies, the No. public school with 800
pupils, and its dusty condition.
Sixth-The entire agitation Is calculated
| to unsettle business.
Further and for other reasons, the matter
should be at once disposed of and disap-
proved by Council.
After number of the names had been
| read. Council, Oh motion of Mr.. Baily,
dispensed with the reading, but soon recon-
sidered it and about half of them were
| read.
The ordinance was then taken up by
sections, and after section l had been read Mr..
| Baugh offered substitute, making the mar
ket free one, changing French to King and
locating the market on King between Second
| and Eighth ,and on Madison between Second
and Sixth.
Mr.. Blake offered an amendment TO the
substitute restricting the Market on King
street to Sixth street. In support of this
| he said that If the King street market was
| allowed to go as far as Eighth street it
would be impossible for the Madison street
market to be established, as there would
be room on King street for all the wagons
and none would go to Madison street. Ii
| the market was allowed to 90 to Eighth
Il
a market on Madison street.
| Mr.. Baugh--I am opposed to restricting
| it below Eighth on King, because the best
| marketing is between Eighth and Seventh,
| and there will not be room enough on King
street for all the wagons even to Eighth
street.
Mr.. Quinn--Unless the King street
market Is restricted there will be no market
| ON Madison.
| I'll -
that section of the town demanding the
Madison street market, am willing to allow
the market on King TO Eighth street and on
Madison to Sixth street, because 1t would
otherwise be Injustice to King street mer-
chants. If the wagons are placed three feet
apart as the ordinance prescribes there will
still be plenty of wagons to go to Madison
street. All ask is to let US have Madison
street market and we will hold out sufi-
cient inducements to draw the farmers to
our market.
Mr.. Blake-My colleague from the Third
ward (Mr. Johnson) is letting the Madison
street people down easy. He wants to give
them sugar and let the market stay on King
street to Eighth so 1t will be impossible for
us to have market.
Mi. johnson denied this and said he
thought he had echoed the sentiments of his
people In his speech

Mr.. johnson explained his vote, saying he
did not want to do an injustice TO the King
street merchants
Mr.. Quinn moved that the whole subject
be indefinitely postponed Lost, only
Messrs Blake, Denney, Garrett, McKenna
and Quinn voting in favor of the motion.
Mr.. Baugh then withdrew his substitute
and Mr.. Talley offered another amendment
to section |, changing French to King, re,
strieting the market to Eighth street on
King and to Sixth street on Madison, and
making the ordinance go into effect April
lst, 1883.
