The following petition was received:
street and Sewer Department-Ge
tlemen: Several months ago our ex-
change Ietltioned your honorable body in
reference to doing away with, or at least
regulating the street market, so far as 1t
relates TO the sale of hay aud grain on
Fourth street In this city. We have not
heard that any action has been taken on
the former petition, and we hereby again
petition your honorable body that some
thing be dtne In the matter.
"Our reasons for this ct ange are well
Known, but may again be enumerated as
| follows:
First. No regulation as to weights
/ anil measures; most OF the farmers selling
grain on the street refuse to sell their
loads by weight; their bags of grain,
measured at home, fall short In many In
stances over ene-eighth Of legal measure;
We object TO this particularly. We cannot
compete and 1t docs the regu ar trade OF
this city great injustice, because such
farmers eau sell very low.
Second. The curb stone privilege is
already abused by bucksters who buy
grain from the farmers and regularly at
tend this market, selling hay and grain
they do not raise on their own or leased
farms.
"rhird. No market fee is charged, as
in the other curbstone markets.
"Fourtt. Inlerieren % with travel on
Fourth street.
