has been ut work since Aldermen Starnes
and IL. l.. Gudger lost in the fight
against the market house, reported, as .
per cr'nstructions. on rents, rc-arrangcmeut
OF stalls, etc. The committee found

Moiic. +: Z. Mclutirc, A. Wernwag, W.
N. Hill y Co., A. W. Melee and I'M
Ledtord q Co. The other occupants of
Central market have only verbal con. /
tracts that may be terminated at The
Gnu OF any month. The committee also
prepared diagram giving its opinion
US to tue best manner Of re. arranging the !
stalls, which seemed calculated to pro.
mote tue comfort and convenience of The
public and do no injury to the interests
OF any occupant. The committee. fur.
ther. felt justified in RECOMMENDING n
marked reduction in rentals. This, it
thought, would be fair to the occupants
and would tend to the renting of several
stalls now unoccupied. In closing, the
thought the changes in sta
arrangement would cost about $3.50 and
that the matter be left to
inc committee TO carryout. This rcport [
was adopted. '0
