FARMERS CHARGES DENIED.
SeaIer Haskell Says MaryIanders Are
Not Favored at Markets.

Not Favored at Markets.
". c. Haskell. sealer Of weights and
measures. in a report 10 the Commissioners
on the recent hearing given TO Virginia
farmers, relative TO the assignment Of
space for their wagons at the wholesale
producers market, recommends that no
change be made for the present in the
manner Of issuing permits. In reference
TO the allegations Of the Virginia farmers.
that preference Is shown the Marylanders
.in the allotment Of space along the market
line. Col. Haskell says.
There is no foundation for the intina-
;ion or any statement to the effect that
discrimination was shown in favor OF
farmers from Maryland During the busy
season there are about 80 farmers from
Maryland, sixty from Virginia, and sew
enty from the District Of Columbia who
come to this market. If it is assumed that
because there are SO many more Mary
landers on the line they are the favored
ones we might also be accused OF dis
eliminating against farmers from the Dis
/ trict Of Columbia.
Under the present arrangements it Is
not necessary for the farmers to leave
/ their homes so early in order 10 get the
places they wish or to keep some one
/ there all night, as they were obliged 70 Go
before spaces were assigned and held for
Them until a certain hour. Confusion and
Inconvenience TO the grocer and those
marketing on the line would result If daily
permits were issued or drawn for II the
latter method were adopted Il would mean.
! a change of location for the farmer every
day and would meet with not only his
/ deposition. hut that, also, Of his custom
/ ers''
/ Col. Haskell submitted also a petition
signed by IL farmers announcing their
satisfaction with the present arrange
Iments The question viii be further dis
lcussed al a hearing given by the Commis-
Isioners to the Maryland and Virginia
/ farmers at II o'clock this morning.
