OBJECT TO FLOWERS
FOR L0WLY GRAVES
SIXTH STREET MERCHANTS
WOULD DEPRIVE POOR PEG
PIE OF REMEMBRANCE.

If the wishes of many people of
the city who have spoken out are
considered there will be no dis
turbance of the flower market at
Sixth and Broad streets.
The proposition was presented the
administrative board yesterday. Ger
tain merchants along Sixth street. and
florists who have stores in various
sections Of the city. presented an OBJ
lection to the sale of flowers on Sixth
street.
1t is argued by citizens that II the
florists who sell flowers on that street
are debarred, the country folk. who
appear upon the scene. with the first
crocuses, the snow drops, and other
early flowers, and who sell them at
prices commensurate with the amount
of money the prospective purchaser
has in her pocket. there might be
few little bouquets and growing
plants around the graves of departed
loved ones in Hollywood, lakewood,
Mount Calvary and Riverview.
Those who have looked the situa
ton over feel that the florists. who
are mostly country-nen and country
women. who offer their wares on sale
on Sixth street should be permitted
to continue their business.
Clerk Of the market. Adam Diacont.
favors the sale of flowers by the small
dealers and the country women, and
1t Is likely that the administrative
board will agree with him. before
decision is reached.
Bearing out the contention made
by Mr.. Diacont this list Of prominent
citizens adds to his defense Of the
small dealer, who helps the man or
woman with the small pocketbook:
