A New Market House Needed.

One great, undeniable and promi-
nent reason why the city of Annapo-
lis has not followed in the wake of
material Improvement and business
progress, is the unblushing fact that
it has been an hurculean task, if not
an impossibility, to make or secure
among its now quite eight thousand
inhabitants single proselyte to any
new modern idea of progressive, per-
manent Improvement. All such meri.
torious suggestions in that line have
been treated as so much namby pam
by. This is all wrong, and lhe soon
er our people wake up to realization
of a, true, substantial real, existing
fact, and give their endorsement and
efforts to all such wholesome theories
and suggestions, come from whatever
quarter they may, the sooner will
Annapolis commence to cast aside the
old garments of the past, which she
has worn for so many years, and
learn to appreciate the necessity of
the hour, if her people entertain a
wish to see her "a business mart. In
this connection, and as means to an
end, the suggestion is now made, for
the first time in public print that there
has already grown, and is still grow
ing, the necessity of having a new
Market House built here in addition
to the one we now have. Time is
money with many of our people here
as it is elsewhere, and the distance
many of them have to travel from the
Western portion of our city has sug-
gested the imperative Importance of
our City Fathers causing to be built
and established new Market House
in some central and suitable locality
in our city. It's necessity must GER
tainly be apparent to the most casual
observer residing herein. At this
writing, we can conceive of no better
locality for such an institution than the
large vacant lot lying on Tabernacle
street and extending along College
lane. We trust our city press will
endorse and our views enlarge there
upon, and that our city authorities
will appreciate the same and adopt
our suggestion at an early date
