.ENSLEY CITIZENS ASK FOR MARKET Weatherly Will Arrange It
 If Desired INTEREST IS GROWING Markets Will Be Established in All the Outlying Sections If the
 Residents Want
 Them

A large body of Ensey citizens, those who usually recognize good thing when they see 1t, yesterday asked Commis- sioner Weatherly to establish a city mar ket at Ensley. It was subsequently, an nounced by MT. Weatherly that he would be very much pleased to take that action whenever the citizens of Ensley wanted the market The Ensley citizens are 10 arrange some details soon, perhaps to- day, and present them to MT. Weatherly for his action. It is believed that at the meeting of the commission next Tues day city market will be established at Ensley. It is only a matter of arranging a law covering the hours and rules.
 C. c. Burke, Judge James Dupuy and other citizens of Ensley told MT. Weath- erly that they believed a material reduc- tion in the cost of living would result for the Ensley citizen provided the market were established.
 In connection with the city market It has been reported to the commission that the hucksters have begun to ignore the provisions of the law requiring them not to sell before 10 o'clock every morning dilG IlldI d SbI1tS Ol WHOlCSdiS tiA hS7'S ~ imminent It is stated that on the South side especially near Twentieth street and Avenue H, that peddlers appear about g o'clock and 9:30 o'clock selling to all houses who patronize them, which Is in strict violation of the laws. Police Of fice.s will receive instructions to enforce the laws without delay.
 The proposition of hours is. about the only regulation, it is said, that is being ignored by the persons interested or con cerned in the operation of the market The law now requires that the market IS to be open until 10 o'clock, and until that time no peddling is to be done This does not apply to outlying sections where peddling is permissible at any time and during any hours
 Commissioner Weatherly has received numerous suggestions about operating the market, some of which have been adopted where feasible. He will continue to make whatever changes are for the good. of the service.
 A. J. Hall, market master, said yes terday that the work was going ahead fine, and that every indication pointed to ultimate success. He says large num- Der of ladies patronize the market every day, and that the number is growing gradually It is said now to be the plan of Commissioner Weatherly and the of- ficials interested in the market to offer to advertise any products that are offered for sale. For instance if any farmer or trucker in this community has a fine lot of turkeys that he desires to exchange for real money, and will notify MT. Wealth erly or one of his assistants, suitable pub licity will be given the proposition to at tract the attention of the buying public Eggs, butter. 'possums (not opossums) will be treated In the same way, all to the end that producer and ultimate consumer may be brought into close contact with one another.
 Any part of Greater Birmingham, such as East Lake, Woodlawn or North Bir- mingham, will be allowed a city market if such is desired by the buyers of that territory.
