Citizen William Morrison, very indig
nant at Councils precipitate haste In the
new market ordinance, appeared before
the city fathers with remonstrance
signed by 1855 taxpayers of the West End
and Of Market street, objecting to the pas
sage Of the city market ordinance, and es-
pecially section l. prohibiting peddling
and hawking. Mr.. Morrison declared
that the whole thing was gotten up in
the interests OF storekeepers and busi-
ness men, and It would benefit nobody
else Ar kekles, speaking in reply,
said that he, though not
of the measure because It was
conceived in a progressive spirit
and because no city In the United States
but New Castle was without city mar
ket Magistrate j. D. Janvier, who was
present, thought It a progressive step
backward instead Of forward He
thought that his men as truckers who
were All taxpayers Of the city, had all the
rights Of any storekeeper or any other
citizen, and they should not be restricted
In the sale Of their goods by any such
law. President Frazer said there was no
storekeeper back Of It as alleged, but
that Il was gotten up for the benefit
Of the whole people

reading and It viii be further discussed
at next Tuesdays meeting.
