Plan Of Matchmaker Williams to Prevent
Occupancy Of Streets.
Celebration Of Birthday Anniversary
Real Estate Transfer-Notes.

The plan of Matchmaker Williams of
the M street market has been defeated,
and the country people are correspondingly
happy. Several weeks ago, as published in
The Star at the time, a movement was in
augurated to have the country people con-
fined to the space the east, west and
south sides Of the market, and also in the
rear portion of the market house proper.
The idea was to concentrate the trade
around the market itself, and prevent the
occupancy of the surrounding streets by
| the country people, while exhibiting their
produce. Soon after the publication of the
plan the country people met and circulated
petition, which was signed by fully fifty
people, and a number of the residents Of
Potomac and Prospect streets, who did not
object to the occupancy Of the sidewalk in
front of their houses.
The Commissioners yesterday decided to
take no action to prohibit the occupancy
OF Prospect avenue, and Potomac streets by
the country dealers. The board regards
the use of NJ street for the purpose as too
dangerous. on account Of the car tracks
IL is, however, likely that some time in
the future some action may be taken look
ing toward the arrangement of the space
around the sides of the market for the ac-
commodation of the country people.
