WANTS MARKET REBUILT.
ALDERMAN ROBINSON WOULD CUR
TAIL PAVING IF NECESSARY.
He Believes Necessary Funds Should
Be Provided Out OF Proposed
Additional Bond Issue.

TUE eiiemmas which eiss just at present
TO perplex and yex the city council are
manifold. On the heels Of having Its bond
issue turned down the council has been
further embarrassed by the destruction by
ore OF the market building aud city hall,
an Institution which has been the pride
of Houston for many years.
The mayor and the members OF the coun-
eli ara getting quite taste Of strenuous
lIfe.' Under present conditions It Is Inn
possible for the council 20 make an ar
raEgement that will please everybody and
difficult TO make one that will please any
body. Some mistakes OF the past have
recently been heightened by calamlties
which the beet OF administrations could
uot have averted.
The Post OF yesterday contained an tn
terview with Alderman rufly, chairman
OF the finance committee. In which that
gentleman stated that s35o,O0 Is the limit
on the amount OF bonds that the city can
Issue under Its present assessment.
Referring to this statement and to 9TH
ers contained In the interview with Alder
mao ruffly, Alderman II. l.. Robinson, who
represents the First ward, and Us challmun
OF the ordnance committee. yesterday had
the following to say. on the subject;

KEEP THEM APART.

Put a Market on Market Square and
City Building Elsewhere.
The question Of rebuilding the market Is
already attracting public attention, but the
general desire seems Ia be to keep the
market and the city government building
apart.
Alderman rufHys ideas upon this sub.
ject are all right as far as they CO. re-
marked well known citizen In discussing
this subject yesterday With q crowd Of
interested taxpayers, but my Idea about
rebuilding the market is 10 devote the en-

OF the market is pressing necessity. We
