GENTLEMEN desire to call your atten-
ton to the use of Fifth street, between Min
nesota and Cedar streets, as Hay Market
This street has just been paved at great ex-
pense to the property owners and will be
lsed as a thoroughfare for heavily loaded
cams, etc, and should not be used as a
Hay Market, as that use results in very ma
.erial obstruction to travel. Very respect
fully, c. D. O'BRIEN, Mayor.
