Views Plan Favorably.

'I believe the city has advanced to tho
point where a central market Is an i'm
perative necessity" said Mr.. Lund last
night. ''Thea. too. we need "A convention
hall. The market feature is pro-
nounced success In several eastern cities
and the convention hall In Denver Is
surely "A success.
"G do not believe that the city will
have any difficulty whatever in securing
the funds necessary for the structure.
The hall would be the means Of bringing
many conventions TO the city and would
place us in q position to handle them
right,
''rhe market would give the people
OF the city the opportunity OF buying at
the right price and under the most snnI-
tary conditions and at an easily acces
sibe' point
Mr.. Lund said that he was not ct at
liberty 10 give the name OF the man who
proposes 10 donate the ground TO the city
and that no such announcement would
be made until the city commissioners.

As stated by the court at the con-
CluHion OF the case or Tuesday. the
question 10 be determined under the
evidence in q very narrow one. There
81 no evidence OF any unfair dealing
on the part OF the city commissioners.
The statements with reference 10 the
relations OF ono Duder and the con-
tractor entirely fall, there being no
evidence even OF any improper con-
duct on the part OF Duder. much less
Ruy evidence OF fraudulent collusion

The evidence 10 be determined Is
simply whether the city could accept

10 ell the items submitted for bids TO
the various contractors. There are
q number OF cases that hold that the
bid must correspond with the specih-
cations submitted and that tho city

ira artor.
