that has long existed in the Farmers
Market.
While there are some good honest
farmers who bring nothing in the
market to sell but what they raise
themselves. there are scores of others
who do not raise one thing them
selves but scour the country over and
buy all they sell on the market.
have seen enough to convince me
that this is true but have been un-
able to secure sufficient evidence to
prosecute them. This is plainly a
violation of the law.
In order 10 improve the conditions
in the Farmers Market, / would sug-
gest that the Council provide a suit
able place for the hucksters. It is
a well known fact that King street
is too narrow and so congested on
market days, and as fl is absolutely
inadequate to meet the demands for
spaces in that market I would ad-
wise that the Council pass an ordin-
ance moving the Farmers Market
from King to French street which
would. give them ample space and
permit the hucksters 70 remain on

form be signed by the farmer before

RECOMMENDATIONS
GO TO COUNCIL

That the city build a wharf at the
foot OF Church street and that the farm
ors' masket be removed to French street
and hucksters market made on King
street. at which New Jersey truckers
could sell some Of the produce, were
some of the recommendations made in
the report of Victor Gael. until yester-
day clerk OF tine markets, to City Coun-
ell last night. The report was referred
to Council as committee of the whole
for consideration on next Wednesday
night.
AIR Gael said that much of the trouble
in the markets is caused by people who
do not raise what they sell, but scor
the country, buying up produce and sell
ing it i'm Wilmington. The report sets
forth certain blank form which Mr..
Gael recommended be signed by each
man doing business. in the market.
The report follows:
/ To the Honorable President and Mem
! hers of The Mayor and Council of
Wilmington
Gentlemen: In compliance with your
motion Of tie oath instant, requesting
/ the clerk Of the market to- reduce to
writing the conditions existing in the
curbstcne market of this city, I hereby
submit the following:
The backbone of all the contention
that has existed for the past fifteen
years is caused by the commission mer-
chants and the hucksters.
The law provides that the Jersey
market shall be on the north side of
Fourth street from King 10 Walnut
streets. Up to a few years ago 90 to 25
Ierseymen used this market. which
proved 10 be a source Of income to the
city. On complaint Of the commission
merchants and bv mutual agreement be-
tween Council and the Jerseymen the
market was moved to Walnut street
above Fourth, the commission merchants
using the space made vacant by said re-
moval. This is one of the many viola
tions.
The law provides that there shall
be a market for Hucksters on the
South Side of Fourth street between
! King and Walnut streets. A few
years ago the City Council. in order
! TO allow the commission merchants
more space. caused, without any re-
peal of the law or ordinances, the
Iulscohtlnuance OF tne huckstefS
market and provided no place for
them. The result was that hucksters
located on King street in the farmers
market At the present time there is
almost a continuous line of these
merchants on King street from

merchants. This is another violation

.......,,.. (Farmer.)
In conclusion I would earnestly
recommend to the Council the build
ing of a City Wharf at the foot Of
Church street where there is about
500 feet of water front. This would
enable the Jersey farmers to leave
Walnut street, and establish market
at the wharf. which j believe would
net the city between $4,000 and $1,000
per year and would enable hundreds
of families in our city to get their
produce at least one-third less than
they are paying for it under present
conditions, thereby assisting them to
reduce the high cost of living.
Respectfully submitted. etc.

The instrument riven- by Jael through

we hear Of Queen Catherine (Howard)

the trade underwent considerable

at the same time the price was low
