dent said the ordinance which had bee
priations for the following year ha
been approved by the Mayor and ha
now become il law.
The Mayor returned the amendmel
to the market ordinance with the fo
lowing message
GENTLEMEN : ! herewith return tn
ordinance passed the ;5lst OF May las
entitled An ordinance to amend an Oh
Iulnahct entitled an ordinance establish
ing and regulating the public market
OF the city OF Wilmington, Withou
my official approval and signature.
In my opinion the time has come fO
abollshlng open street markets for tn
sale OF meats, vegetables and genera
produce, ana for conining the retail
sale OF these articles to market houses
especially erected for that purpose
el'her bv the city or ny private enter
PRISE. The present custom bas little t.
recommend its continuance and is oh
lect:ohable III many respects. Fo
hours, indeed Tor Two ont OF the Il secu
lar days OF the week the sidewalks on
King street are practically bloCkadet
tor the transaction OF any business
o'her than the sale OF meats and ronn
try produce, to the great inconvcnlcnc,
ana discomfort OF the residents thereon
ihe same may be said of Madison street
~ Whicn "A lew market has been recent
y established.
Anything thai ohsruc1s publictrave
el'htr by vehicles or on tOoi is Il public
i'ilsalireand tcanhot be questioned in
lHf as property owners and residents on
k'ng and Madison streets are deprived
.! the tree, open an'l unohstr'icted list
OF tue footWaSS or streets on which
thelrdWr ceilings are located that the caust
OF such deprivation IS apublic nuisance.
1t should he borne in mind that these
Residents are not subjected to II merely
temporary annoyance and inconveni-
"n'r arising from the traffic that is car
rl"d on during the hours OF two torenoonS
anl t wo afternoons in every week, but
that they are also disturbed during two
nights III the week by the preparations
for market. In view OF these facts it is
a question that appeals TO your sense Of
justice whether it Is right that one por-
iion of our fellow-citizens should be
compelled TO bear and suffer under this
particular burden from which the resi-
dents on all other streets are free.
The street markets Were established
when Market street was the chief
Of the town, and when
there were but few houses east of King,
Or west of Shipley street, or north of
seventh street. The markets We're held
