SHORT STOPS.
What the People Are Saying.


The proposition to build central
| market house on Paschal square has
excited considerable discussion.
The liberal donation offered by prop
erty owners in the vicinity affords an
example worthy of imitation by citi-
zens in other portions of the city.
There are some people, living on the
eastern side of the city who think that
if market house is built on Paschal
square one must me built east of the
river.
Paschal square is near the very
heart of the city, measuring east and
west, north and south. 1t can be
reached as conveniently as any point in
the city.
The city is not able to undertake two
public market houses. After one mar
ket is built and the people at another
point can offer a tempting donation,
the building of another might be under
taken.
The reason that the old central mar
ket was abandoned was because of its
being inadequate for the business.
The city inaugurated the granting of
licenses to open meat markets to every
butcher in the city; the consequence is
that today the meat business is carried
in at some seventy different points,
IRENE limits, making proper inspection
impossible.
The city has lost the revenue former
ly derived from stall rents and the con-
sumers have not been benefited by the
little market system.
Competition has been destroyed and
the whole business has refrigerated to
the frontier town standard.
One or two butchers who have had
enterprise and capital have met the
demand of the public by putting up
cold storage plants.
COlu NOhuuNtihS bP
to-date shops in the business portion of
the city; they have illustrated what
can be done on a large scale.
That the city has the right to cancel
all it's permits and regulate the sale of
meat at a central market place is I'M
questioned.
The market building should be a
credit to the city. and should embrace
every feature of a modern public mar
ket.
Let there be no sectionalism in the
promotion of this much needed enter
prise. Help out the people on the
west side and they will help out the
people on the east side when they want
something.
