NRw CASTLE, Feb. 2s- People are now
becoming agitated both pro and con, over
the new market ordinance now before
City Council which, in few days, will
become a law. The opponents of the bill
claim thatit is UNJUST that New Castle
never could. and never will support a
market that It is un-American to de
prive people from making a living in
their way as well as prevent housekeepers
from buying right at their doors, any
thing they want Some opponents ofthe
bill. however, make claims that are bor-
dering on an absurdity. They say that
the whole thing was invented out Of
purely selfish motives on the part of
Councilman Frazer, who is a merchant;
Councilman Vickery, merchant; Coun.
Gilman Etchells, a merchant; Councilman
Deakyne, who they claim, Is going to be
q merchant Councilman Eckles who,
the, argue is nothing more than poll
taxable
Il is generally believed however. that
the present City Council is working
solely for the Advancement of the city's
interests and the prosperity of the com
monwealth, and the majority Of the
voters have implicit confidence IN them
Strong argument is being made with the
fact that Wilmington, Chester, Sails
bury, Cambridge and scores of other
towns In this section Of the country
have street markets; that the only way
they ever got them was to break up
hawking from door 10 door and make
peddlers, farmers and everybody having
goods to sell back up in the street mar
ket
Captain Israel Riding, who is an
authority on many questions, is one Of
the champions Of the opposition TO the
market ordinance He said last night:
Il am heartily in favor of the estab
lishment Of a modern and convenient
market house here. but that ordinance
that knocks out farmers, producers aud
reputable hucksters from selling through
the streets of the city is ahominable
Don't keep out or even restrict pro.
ducers. Don't tax a reputable peddler
more than a nominal sum. New Castle
cannot afford 10 have such law The
New Castle city councilmen cannot afford
to pass such law If they want TO main
tain the confidence of the people.
