der Amusement.

Salt Lake and Davis counties may bring
their produce and dispose OF II direct TO
local consumers was proposed TO the city
commission yesterday morning by a
delegation OF farmers, They asked that
either the city establish the market un-
der municipal direction or else give the
farmers a right 10 establish the market
themselves under license from the city.
II was pointed out that under present
conditions the farmers have no adequate
way OF delivering their produce direct To
the consumer in salt Lake and that a
fair saving 10 both themselves and the
consumers could be effected by having a
regular market place
Whether the city has legal right TO
take action in tho matter was raised
by the ommiss!oners. who, after hear
ing the farmers petition, referred the
matter TO the legal department for an
opinion. Members of tho commissioners
declared themselves in favor OF the Idea
aud future developments along tho lines
suggested by the farmers are likely.
Sites for tho proposed market were
discussed and 1t was suggested that II
might be established in the old car barns
Of the Utah Light q Railway company
on Second East street between South
Temple and First South streets. IL also
WAS suggested that a portion OF the east
