MARKET CLERK
MAKES REPLY
Mr.. Cook Says Granger Did
Not Know What tie Was
Talking About

The interview given 10 an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter on Saturday by
one Of the leading grangcrs OF New
Castle county protesting against what
was alleged 20 be the irregularity of the
market streets and the encroachmc-.
thereon OF huckstcrs. was followed to-
day By n vigorous statement by G. A.
Cook clerk Of the market Mr.. Cook
says;
III the farmers would sell their own
produce and not buy crate eggs, South
ern peas. lettuce and beets from the
commission men. the markets would
not be two squares long. taking all on
Madison and King streets together;
and I want TO say that the party that
put the piece IN the paper did not know
what he was talking about, as the
clerk Of the market has not rented a
space TO any huclSster, and no huckstor
has got a space in any market, and the
clerk does not collect fifteen cents from
each and every farmer.
in regard 10 the hucksters occupy
ing two stands and two farmers occu-
pylng one, II IS untrue. and II the man
that told this had only tried TO get a
stand between Fourth and Fifth streets
when there were stands 10 get. he
would not have tried 20 hard TO get
one at the present time. Now, there
are farmers who do not want TO stand
I'm our farmers markets, because they
would rather go from door to door sell
ing their produce and as our farmers
do not want stand because they can
go to the commission men and buy
crate eggs and sell them for country
eggs. One Of our prominent city coun-
cilmen's wife bought four dozen eggs
and found nine bad.
Il would like to know whether he
was a granger or not? II the grangers
have any grievance. ] would like them
TO come TO the clerk OF the market
and If he does not arrange things satis-
factorily. then make their threats and
come 10 Council The clerk Of the
market would only be too glad to ac-
commodate and arrange things once in
the farmers life satisfactorily, and
that in speaking OF the graft that the
clerk Of the market has got, and the
huckstcrs with the clerk OF the mar
ket it Is untrue. Hereafter, IL the
farmers will look at their profit and
read extract from the city ordinance:
Farmers are allowed to stand until
