Objects to Change.
William Reinhart of 1851 East Market
space has entered vigorous protest against
the proposed change to be made by the
sealer of weights and measures in the reg
ulations of the Georgetown market The
change would permit the farmers to display
their produce on the market curb, and
should this step be taken Mr.. Reinhart con-
tends that it will work as a serious hard
snip to him and other residents along NJ
street.
The proposed change in the regula tons
is now under considera ton by Mr.. Haskell
and it is expected something definite will
be given out within, a few days. The object
is to place the market upon a firmer basis
and to restore to it certain patronage
which, it is alleged. was lost through an
order of the Commissioners forbidding
farmers selling their wares on the curb of
the street. The order compelled them to
,;r.a
TOR the accommodation of the country peo-
pie or their teams. 1t is with view to
remedying existing conditions that the reg
ulations will be modified.
The lawn parties recently held by the
joint councils of the Independent Order
Sons OF Jonadab are said to have met the
highest expectations of its promoters.
