REGULATIONS
FOR MARKET
Board of Trade Took Matter
Up Yesterday.

Action was taken by the Board of
Trade at its first meeting after the
summer vacations last night, to find
some solution to the farmers mar
ket problem. s. M. Jacobson, chair
man of the committee appointed to
investigate the matter, made a re-
port and read set of rules and reg
ulations which had been drawn up
from similar rules in force in other
cities, notably WilliamspoFt, Pa.
According to these rules, which
the Board of Trade will present to
the special committee of the Board
of Aldermen appointed to look into
the matter, every dealer will be bar
red from the market excepting the
farmers. 1t is proposed to open the
market at 6 o'clock In the morning
and close it at $40. 1t Is proposed
to charge the farmers a fee of So
a month for the privilege of backing
up to the curb within the designated
territory, each fee to have definite
place which only he can occupy SO
that If he should not appear on any
morning, the place would remain
vacant, or II he should arrive late he
would be sure of having the place
open for him. In addition to this
fee of 81 a month, 1t is proposed to
charge fifty cents for team and
wagon, every morning that the farm
er appears. This Is fixed SO as to
catch those farmers who would not
rent specified space by the month.
Farmers Suggest 1t.
1t was stated last night that one
of the farmers had suggested such a
scheme and the farmer had said that
he was sure a petition asking for
such regulation would be signed by
most of the farmers coming here.
To ascertain the feeling of the farm
ers, the Board of Trade committee
will circulate a petition among them
this Friday and the results will be
placed before the aldermanic COM
mittee at once.

presented for 500 as membership
