They Desire TO Occupy Stands at the
Georgetown Market.
The Commissioners have received petit
tion from number of property owners and
residents Of the vicinity Of the Georgetown
Market relative to the occupation OF the
sidewalk near the market by the produce
dealers from the country. The Commis-
sioners ordered that these men be driven
from the stands they had occupied in Po-
tomac Street, some time ago. and they
have been trying to get the stands back
ever since. The petition states that it is
a great hardship to the country people TO
be compelled to yacate the stands they had
occupied so long. It was also detrimental
10 the interests Of the District. the peti-
TONERS state, as the space allotted 10 the
countrymen around the market is too small
for the use to which it mas been put.
Commissioner Wight visited the market
last Saturday and made an inspection Of
the place for the purpose Of ascertaining
the cause Of the complaints that have been
received. lie made a report TO the Commis-
sionPrs yesterday, in which he says:
There is a good deal of space on the
east and west sides of the market which
could be used TO advantage by the farming
people and which is entirely satisfactory
TO them, and would probably accommodate
a large number, if not all, Of them In
order, however, to use this sidewalk. II
is necessary for the women and others who
purchase from them 10 stand in the street
on the rough cobblestones. II these cobble-
stones could be replaced with a vitrifed
brick or concrete pavement the problem
would be satisfactorily solved"

FOR 4 CITY MoRGUE.
Proposition to BE Submitted That
Has Much 10 Commend 1t.

A proposition will be submitted TO the
Common Council at the next meeting for
the establishment of a city morgue in the
premises Of the Peerman Burial Com
pany, No. 1915 east Broad street.
The place used as a morgue at the pres
ent time is situated near the almshouse'
1t is a room of low pitch. with one door
ana a single window. There are no Ia
cilitics for laying out the dead, and death
Is often seen there in its most repulsiVe
form.
The present movement Is the outgrowth
OF strons sentiment frequently express
cd by tn, relatives OF those who have
heretofore been carried there for identi~
fcation The root Of the objection Is, not
so much the gruesomeness of the sur
roundings and the lack of preparation FOR
burial as the sentiment which attaches
to the removal of persons who die sud
denly and whose identity does not stand
revealed. 10 the poor-house though their
position in society might make such re-
moval very undesirable
The Peerman Burial Company offers 10
place at the disposal of the city large
apartments. to embalm all dead bodies
committed to their care, and to otherwise
prepare them for burial. No rent is 10 be
charged for the buildings. and the ser
vices of the undertaken will be without
cost TO the city.
The establishment is continuous 70 the
City Hail, and there are many circum-
stances which render the plan desirable.
