Mr.. Brockett at this juncture moved that
the motion expressing disapproval OF the
location of a market near the corner Of
14th and streets, which was liad upon
the table at the last meeting, be taken up.
The motion was taken from the table by a
vote of 8 to S. Mr.. Brockett then proceed
ed to speak on the subject. he said that
18th street was a popular driveway ana
one of the most important thoroughfareS
of the city. A market would seriously Inn
pede traffic along the street, he declared,
and would be Objectionable In many ways.
The citizens of Columbia Heights are in
terested he declared because they have to
use 18th street in going to and from their
homes The market, he suggested. might
he located on some street not generally
used Mr. Brockett said a stern, forcible
objection should be made to the project
DR.. Francis r. Percival one of the pro-
moters of the market, was present, and 1t
was voted to allow him to address the as
sociation. Dr. Percival declared that the
proposed Columbia Market would have
none Of the Objectionable features encoun-
tered at other markets. he SAID the COM
pany had promised the District CommlS-
sioners TO keep 14th street clear of all mar
ket wagons or other distractions and had
requested that such stipulation pe placed
in the permit, if granted He said that
such a provision would also be placed in
the charter of the corporation when the
papers are taken out. DIR. Perclval said
the market building would be a slightly
structure, q Cfeult 10 any part Ol the CITY.
Fourteenth street, he declared, is essential
~ business thoroughfare, and always will
be- especially in the vicinity Of the pro-
posed market. He said the market COM
pany was trying to please the people. 1t
would be an advantage to the section and
ir no sense a nuisance. Wagons, teams.
etc. would be accommodated on the COM
paHy's property in the rear of the building.
Dr. Percival was piled with a number Of
questions regarding the market company
and it's being bound by the promises made
to the Commissioners. He stated that the
company had signed the conditions lot
only for the present administration, but for
it's heirs and successors.
Mr. McCalmont said 1t appeared to him
that it was question simply as to whether
the citizens of Columbia Heights wanted
the market at the proposed site or would
rather have it in their own midst. He
said he had long had his eye on a piece
of property just back Of Mr.. Bundy' 8
home. which, he thought, would make an
forth loud laughter.
Regarded Seriously.
Mr.. Bundy said that, aside from all face
tiousness, the market was serious matter
one affecting Columbia Heights particular
ly. He bitterly opposed it's establishment
and said that DR.. Percival could promise
nothing for the corporation few years
hence. "A corporation" he declared, ''has
no body to be kicked; no soul to be
| damned" Mr.. Bundy spoke of the beau.
| ties Of Columbia Heights and called atten.
| tion to the conditions found today around
! existing markets.

ObIiterntiOn of Shade Trees.

Mr. E. S. McCalmont spoke briefly, cali
ing attention to the fact that workmen are
now engaged in cutting down many of the
historic trees east of 18th street on the
line of the Columbia road extension. He
said the trees called up many memories to
the older residents of the section, ana
brought to mind many thoughts concerning
the welfare of the coming generations. Mr..
McCaimont said the Fairgrounds for chill
dren are being gradually dimished from
year to year, and he believed something
should be done to provide for the estao-
Hshment Of parks on Columbia Heights and
in other sections of the city, and for the
preservation of some of the old trees. lie
said the time would soon come when the
children of uptown Washington would have
to go almost to the avenue for bit or
playground. 1t is all very well. he SAID
to talk of the beauties of the future Wash-
ington The establishment of parks at thls
time would be much cheaper and more
beneficial than at any time in the future;
Action at the present time is what shouid
be taken. Mr.. McCalmont called attention
to the long delay In the construction OF
memorial bridge to Arlington. He said the
present means of communication with the
national cemetery are disgrace 10 the
whole community.
