"As to extension or modification deemed
advisable for the betterment of the mar
ket" says Mr.. Graham, Il would like to
call your attention to the limited number
Of stalls In the market at present. which
are entirely Inadequate to the needs OF this
part Of the city. The people have been
demanding an enlargement for some time,
citation has taken action on the same with
view to enlarging it. While L am unable
to make detailed estimate Of the cost of
the Improvement. believe there should be
as many more stalls as there are now.
II this addition, We're, built to the market
In the form of L there would be space
in the angle to erect sheds for the outside
dealers or gardeners to expose their goods,
thereby taking that part of the business OF
the streets There is a large, unsightiy
plat Of ground north of the market, on 7th
street. extending to North Carolina avenue,
which, If graded and parked by putting out
trees and shrubbery. would add to the
