The Sjoint city council committee on
markets spent an hour yesterday aft
ernoon that will result profitably to the
city.
This was the outcome Of compet1-
ton between A. Levansky and Thomas
Mariner, both Of whom aspire to the
honorary title Of king of ST. Paul
hucksters."
Levansky offered at the beginning
s51 per month for the Booths 1, 2 and
and the offer was accepted. He also
wanted Stalls and 2 in Shed and
offered So for them. Subsequently the
members of the committee made the
discovery that they were leasing the
booth privileges for less than last year,
reconsidered the award and asked for
public bids.
After quite a spirited contest be-
tween Levansky and Thomas Mariner,
the former secured Booths 1 and at
rental of $50 a month, and Mariner got
Booth 8 for SIS a month. This showed
gain Of $24 over the original offer
and the committee tried the plan on
the stalls, agreeing to accept but one
bid and that for the two choice stalls.
Mariner was the successful bidder at
SIS, this being an increase of 81 "a
month, total Of $31 month.
1t was decided by the committee that
the Growers association shall be al
lowed the exclusive use of all the stalls
in Sheds D and e, the members of the
association agreeing to pay for the
stalls at the regular rental for the en-
tire season. The market master was
instructed to see that only farmers use
the stalls that the association pays for,
it being the understanding that grow
ers outside Of the association can use
the stalls if any are vacant, but the
hucksters and peddlers are barred.
Market Master Complains.
Although he did not oppose the ac-
ton in committee, Market Master Bev-
ans complained, after the meeting that
the Growers association asked for and
received more than they are entitled to.
Under this arrangement" he said,
''the association controls all of the
stalls in the Sheds D and. E and I will
be unable to use them for hucksters
or peddlers at any time. The associa-
| ton will be permitted to place large
signs at the entrance to the sheds pro-
| claiming that the members of the
| Growers association are to be found
| inside. 1t is going too far, in my judg-
| ment, taking away from me the right
| to manage the market as see fit"
| The city clerk was authorized to adj
| vertise for bids for painting the booths

BOYS ARE FINED
FOR STEALING PAPERS
Had Been Taking Packages of G 10 s
and Selling Them.


For some time past T he Glob e
has had considerable trouble with
petty thieving of papers from door
steps and of packages from news deal
ers' stands.
Last Tuesday morning a coup was
planned for the thieves who had been
taking bundle of papers from a Wa
eouta street store for the past two
weeks. The Globe succeeded in
catching the offenders, Earl Johnson
and Peter Jones. 1t was the habit of
these two boys to take packages of
Glob e at the time they were deliv-
ering their other papers and later dis
pose of them to the newsboys.
The boys were brought before the
judge of the municipal court and each
fined $15, besides being put under the
care of the probation officer until July
80. This, no doubt, will act as an OBJ
ject lesson to other boys who have en-
gagged in the same practice.
