Charge ILLEGAL use
OF CTTY'S SIDEWALKS
Center Market Dealers Protest Against
Practice in Louisiana
Avenue.
DEFENDED AS SUBTENANTS

Charges of illegal use of streets, side
walks. parkings, and other public places
in the city were heard by the Board of
District Commissioners yesterday after.
noon, at a public hearing granted to rep
resentatives of the protesting citizens
and the owners of the properties affected.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the
Commissioners announced that they will
determine later what action. if any, shall
be taken.
E. A Sinclair, representing seventy
five dealers in Central Market, took up
much of the hearing with testimony, COM
planning against the use of sidewalks on
the north side of Louisiana avenue, be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets north
west. Mr.. Sinclair, who is a market
salesman, charged that this block is
occupied by dealers who sell produce
from the sidewalk, and who obtain the
use of this public space by making pay
ment to tenants OF abutting property.
He also charged that many of these deal
ers are selling cold storage products,
which they represent as coming fresh
from their own farms.
That the dealers against whom protests
were made are all subtenants, and as
such entitled to the same privileges as
the tenants of the property in the use
of the sidewalk, was the contention sub
mitted in refutation of Mr.. Sinclair s
statement of grounds for complaint, by
z. A. Brandenburg. who represented the
owners OF the property in question
Specific evidence of violations of the
law were invited OF Mr.. Sinclair and
the other protestants by the Commits
sioners A number of other cases were
brought to the attention of the Board,
of the use of public spaces in different
sections of the city. Requests were made
by the attorneys representing the deal
ers that this practice be permitted to
continue as long as 1t does not work
injury to others. Commissioner Siddons
made 1t plain that if the practice is al
lowed to continue. it must be in such
a way as to work no hardship upon 9TH
ers. 1t is possible that additional hear
ings will be held upon this matter, and
the Board reserved all decisions.
