BOARD WILL No
DOUBT REFUSE

The board of aldermen at the meeting

state boarii of exiucalion against the es-
tablishment OF the market place on Prom

siderable weight with the aldermanic
board and result in the holding up OF the
resolution.
Alderman George p. Peterson OF the
Second ward stated this morning that he
considered the protest a very fair one,
and that he was opposed to having the
market place located there, baiieving that
the vicinity OF Promenade street will, in
time, be transformed into .tha most beau
tiful part of the city, especially, In view
OF the fact that the freight yard on Kin
sley avenue Is To be removed in the near
future and n parkway substituted.
In time, Mr.. Peterson believes, a play
ground will be established in that vicinity.
and this together with the parkway, state
house and the Normal school will make
the place very beautiful. To have the mar
ket place located there would mar almost
