Question of Calling Market Street
Central Avenue Comes Up.

Acting Chairman Heine Marks OF the
Committee on Municipal Affairs instructed
Secretary MOckIer OF the Council yester-
day 10 call a public hearing before his
committee on Friday afternoon at 80 for
the purpose Of discussing the question Of
changing the name OF Market street to
Central avenue.
Reasons advanced for the change when
the bill was introduced are that there is
no longer a market on the street. but now
there aie many public buildings, and,
furthermore. since the system Of street
numbering north and south begins on that
street a mo-o appropriate name would be
Central avenue.

Roberts repeated this statement several
times and then declared: Il have al
ways been Judge Seddon's friend and have
tried TO shield him in every way
A reporter then offered TO confront
Judge Seddon in another room to prove
that Roberts had used the words: You
