TITLE IS NOT CLEAR.
Some Delay Occasioned In Purchas-
y ing Market Site.

The city council came together
Mon1ay evening in regular meeting
that was adjourned from the morn
ing. The purpose of the meeting was
for the consideration of certain mat
tiers that have come up in connection
with the purchase of the city market
place on First avenue west, and in
addition the mayor called up a num-
Der of other matters that needed at
tention.
1t appears that there has been a
hitch somewhere in the proceedings
with the Oliver Vance property on ac-
count of defective abstract. City
solicitor c. Z. Orvis has examined the
abstract AMI discovered some little
faults which the city desired should
be corrected. 1t was understood .ast
evening that Mr.. Vance had with
drawn his offer to the city, but others
stated otherwise and the matter
caused considerable discussion and
debate. Communications by tele-
phone went mere and there and finally
the council passed a resolution that
the city close the deal for the market
place on First avenue west, provided
the deeds could be made for both the
Ellsworth and the Vance properties,
and that is the way the matter now
stands.
The market place is reasonably cers
tain to be established and plans for
the keeping of the place have been
suggested. There will be a market
keeper to have charge of the grounds
and ting office. He will have charge
of the scales and attend to other du-
ties about the place. A check room
will be provided, where for a small
fee packages, bundles, whips and
blankets can be checked and safety
guaranteed. A watering place will be
provided and the market will be made
equal to any city market in its ac-
Sommodations.
