MARKETS RECEIVE
HEAVY PATRONAGE.
Housewives Effect Saving by
Buying Directly From
Producers

The high cost OF living has caused
thousands OF people TO patronize the
ci.y's markets with the result that for
the first time In their history they
are beginning to show substantial
profits. Market men making their
reports to the city controllers ONCE
tell about the wonderful increase in
business In the east and west side
farm products directly from produc,
ers.
The demand for more market facil-
tiles is such that the council and
board OF estimates will undoubtedly
be called on to appropriate money
next spring for one or more new mar
ket houses. People living north of
Warren-ave. west, are now patroniz-
ing the west side market house on
Michigan-ave., although they must
ride a long way south on the Four
tecnth-ave. car, walk block and
transfer to the Michigan-ave. car line.
Market men say that the city could
AFFORD to establish market In every
nile radius In the thickly populated
sections of the city.
The latest proposal In regard to
the markets Is that one be establish
ed on or near Milwaukee-ave., east Of
Woodward-ave. Market gardeners In
Hamtramck and vicinity must now
haul their produce to the eastern mar.
ket, while the people In the northern
section OF the city cannot buy II un-
less they also make trip across the
city to the eastern market.
Market men say that Detroit house
wives have saved thousands OF dol
lars this summer by patronizing the
markets.

ESTIMATORS TO
ACT WITH CAUTION
Postpone Action on Incinerating
Plant Until Legal Point
is Settled

Expressing doubt about their right
To reinstate an appropriation OF $780,
900 for a garbage incinerating plant
after the item had been disallowed In
a regular session, members of the
board of estimates adjourned their
special meeting OF Wednesday night
for one week. The corporation coun-
sci was asked for q written opinion
on the subject.
The desirabiHty OF reinstating the
appropriation, provided the board has
such power, was referred to the COM
mittees on health and garbage. These
committees met after the board adj
journed and decided to have a public
hearing on the question Friday night
at o'clock in the council chamber,
when all those in favor and those op-
posed to the project may express
their opinions. DR.. r. II. Stevens,
representing the sanitation commit
tee of the Board OF Commerce, spoke
TO the committees in favor OF the in
cinerating plant, saying that II was
the most effective system OF dispos-
ing of garbage and that, rightly COLI
s;ructed, an incinerating plant will
no. give offense in any neighborhood.
III lHe DOdTu mcclluB Abbibldnl
Corporation Counsel Penniman was
called on for an opinion as to the
boards right to reinstate the appro-
rriation, as requested by the council.
Fenniman said he thought the
board had such right and informed
the board that the resolution calling
the board in session for the purpose
was drafted by Corporation Counsel
Lawson himself. Estimator Thomas
G. Craig, strenuously opposed the ap-
preparation and declared that the cor
poration counsel's ONCE had once
given an opinion that the board could
not take such action as was proposed.
Mr.. Penniman gave a written opin-
ION to the board that the city would
be within its legal rights in abrogat-
ing the contract with the Detroit Re-
ouction Co. He stated that II the
company claimed damages the city
could put In an Offset because Of the
compaDy's failure to establish sta
tioDs as was required by contract,
thus putting the city to great add.
tional expense for hauling garbage
10 the one station at the foot Of Nine.
teenth-st He advised, however.
against abrogating the contract until
the city is equipped with facilities for
the proper disposal OF garbage.

SENATORS CHOSEN
 IN NEW MEXICO

Santa Fe, N. M., March 2s-A. B. Fall and T. B. Catron, both Republ- cans, were elected to the United States Senate yesterday on the eighth ballot in the Legislature.
 Thomas B. Catron, a former dele gate to Congress, was supported by w. H. Andrews, who came here from Pennsylvania, where he was one of Senator Quay's lieutenants. Albert B. Fall was formerly a judge, and at one time was the attorney for Col. Greene when he was at the height of his power in the copper zones of Ari- zona and New Mexico, and his eleva- ton to the bench was attributed to Greenes friendship.
 During the contest four members Of the Legislature were arrested on a charge of soliciting bribes for their votes The examination of witnesses in the investigation that followed is still in progress. It is reported that at the close of the hearing the defense will demand the arrest of the mounted policemen who arrested the four legis- lators
 The defense asserts that the arrest of the men was a conspiracy to dam age one of the leading candidates for the Senate and an attack by the exc cutive branch upon the legislative branch of the State.
