That South Side Market.
The so-called Benton ordinance,
which grants to G. FL. Benton and 9TH
ers an exclusive franchise for twenty
five wears for a market in the Sixth
ward, came up for its final passage.
Aid. Meloy, who champiOned the Owens
ordinance for market in South Min
neapols, amended the first section by
inserting clause requiring the Benton
people to file bond with the city in the
sum of S25, 600 for the faithful perform
ance of all the conditions of the ordi-
nance. The amendment was adopted
without any opposition. AID Meloy
then submitted another amendment
defining the location, exempting
block Ill of the plat of
Minneapolis which Is now occupied by
the Beard block and the Skies block.
Aid. Melloy claimed that there had
ton about the Eastern capital which
was to be brought to Minneapolis. The
Benton people had already selected the
Beard block, and the people OF South
Minneapolis don't want a market there.
Aid. Johnson and Smith opposed the
amendment. Then Aid. Meloy declared
that instead of bringing more money to
Minneapolis it was only an attempt to
exempt piece Of very improbable
property from taxation. Aid. Parry
secured the floor and exclaimed: "Mr.
Prerident. understand that the alder
men of the Second ward are interested
in the Beard block"
President Johnson rising to aquestion
of privilege, said: THE aldermen of
the Second ward have so far escaped
the Doodle charges. Now Aid. Parry
should prefer direct charges against US,
and he then can find out just how
much interest we have in it."
81 only said that had heard it," eX-
claimed Aid. Parry.
81 am not satisfied with such re-
traction" answered Mr.. johnson, "and
l will not be satisfied until the gentle
man from the Seventh ward says he
does not believe it, did not mean what
he said, and never heard any one
