Painfully hjured-Notes.

Mr.. William Williams, the Georgetown
market master, has submitted a ELAN to
Ccmmission,r Wight and Inspector e. Y.
BegSs through the, adoption of which it is
believed The vacfst stands in the rear of
the market house will be made desirable.
The country people who bring their pro-
duce to town have for years ranged them
selves up OF NJ street and more recently
have located at a distance up Potomac ave-
nue.. which faces the market This has had
the effect to draw custom away from the
market proper, in addition to blockade lg
the sidewalk unnecessarily. AS the market
house fs located in a square known as
market space, with ample room on three
sides In addition to the front for the loca-
ton or temporary country stands, T. is Mr..
W1lliams plan to concentrate these coun-
try dealers In these spaces as far as posi-
center CT heart of trade. The market is
nardly self-supporting now, owing to the
existence OF all of those vacant stands in
the middle and rear of the building.
commissioner Wight is expected to be
over In day or two to personally inspect
the condition Of things and to order the
chanSe II he finds 1t to be as advisable as
1t now appears. The only obstacle tor this
Plan presenting itself Is the existence Of
the hay scales in the rear of the market
house, which are approached through
these spaces on either side of the bull ling
Should country teams be stationed there a
load OF hay could not pass. This objection,
1t is said, could be readily overcome by the
removal of the scales 10 a more retired
part Of the town. A bulky hay wagon is
regarded as nuisance on such a crowded
thoroughfare as NJ street is, and frequent
ly 1mpedes traffic. With hay wagons and
street cars passing, and the numerous
&C untry teams, it is readily seen that the
street IS always in a Gro ydej condition
MI. Williams plan has met with the appro-
patlon or all who have been made ac-
quafnted with it.
