If the proposition advanced by the joint
council committee on markets prevails St.
PauPS new market, which is now IN
course of construction on Jackson street,
will be kept, OPEN from o'clock in the
morning until 6sin the evening.
The schemeSis to counterfeit the evil eff
fects of hawking, and was decided upon
at meeting of the joint committee held
yesterday afternoon. By the new ar
rangement farmers will be allowed en-
trance at all hours Of the day, and pa
irons of the market given an opportunity
to buy direct
From the hucksters and commission
men, who make a handsome living by
buying up unsold stocks from the mar
ket men, a decided protest was received,
they wanting the regular market hours
of to u, now existing, to prevail, but
Assemblyman Haas and Aid. Dalquist
thought otherwise and their suggestion
prevailed.
1T is an arrangement that will be
agreeable to the 4 farmers and at the
same time furnish st. Paul with fresh
goods said Mr.. Haas. THE less hawk
ing the better for those who patronize the
market. Under the present agreement
when a farmer from distant point gets
into st. Paul with a load of produce he
he finds the day. too far advanced to dis
pose of his stuff in the required time and
is compelled to sell it to the hucksters at
a sacrifice. They in turn freshen it by
methods only known to themselves and
the farmer goes home, mad at himself for
ever coming to St. Paul.
In order to encourage the attendance Of
farmers from a distance the ordinance
governing the institution was arranged SO
as to allow them entrance at all hours,
additional privileges being granted in al
lowing them to remain over night SO as
to be 1eady for business the next morn
leg. AS soon as a wagon is emptied it
must be removed.
The committee was Unanimous in its
opinion that the householder and small
buyer should be protected in every way.
and the ordinance was freely amended in
order to bring about this condition The
wholesaling Of stocks, together with
street peddling other than by the regu-
lar grocers and those duly licensed is to
be prohibited during the morning hours
Marketmaster Bevans favored the OPEN
ing of the market at o'clock and its
closing at noon, but one of the members
intimated that Mr.. Bevans wanted to
shirk little work. He claimed that
there would not be any chance to clean
the market space; but the members were
of the opinion that some way out of the
difficulty would be found
From number of professional market
men came a jrequest that the ordinance
be arranged so that any particular asso-
cation or set of market men might Sc
cure stands near each other so that they
could operate IN a body If desired, in
stead OF scattering them CIR compelling
them to take what they could get. The
scheme savored of trust methods, but it
was allowed, precautions, however, being
taken to head of such, by compelling the
applications to come before the joint
committee for approval before being
granted. s.15 s
The market season will be from May
to November 4.s
