Mr.. Reinhart Discusses Market.
| Mr.. William Reinhart of 1851 East Mar
| ket space, speaking today referring to a
| statement in The Star of Tuesday in re-
| gard to the country people at the George
| town market, says he has no objection
whatever to having the farmers sell their
~1 CT, IN
the contrary. he regards it as an excel
| lent plan. But what he seriously objects
| to is the stabling of horses on the street
| OF East Market space.
Mr.. Remnant contends that the street is
| entirely TOO narrow, and that it would be
detrimental to the health of the people
| living in the vicinity to permit such use
| to be made of it. He thinks the proper
| place for the horses is on NJ street with
| the wagons. or in the livery stable, where
| horses can be stabbed for a few hours at
! a very small cost.
Mr.. Reinhart also wishes to state that
| the property owners and residents in the
| locality all agree with him in Directing
| to having such a nuisance in front of
| their homes.

| sty near the Aqueduct bridge forms a

| the club house has been placed before the
| college authorities and is being considered
| The location is considered a good one be-
cause of its close proximity to the college
campus The Independent Ice Company's
