vet be raised, as there are yet 4 num-

put in over a years time perfectlng

ses and guarantee the city at least
one open air concert per week during

NO NEW MARKET
ORDINANCE FOR AWHILE

City Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings,
members of City Council and George
w. Sparks, president of the Street
and Sewer Department, held con-
ference in Mayor Howell's Office last
night relative to the street market
ordinance. City Solicitor Hastings ex-
planned the provisions of the ordi-
nance and following the session it
was said that most likely Council
would allow the question to die in
committee. If this is doe il is pro-
posed to have the Street and Sewer
Department adopt the ordinance Of
Council in the form of a resolution.
In the meantime Council will wait
until the next term of the legislature
when Mr.. Hastings said he thought an
act would be passed there giving
Council authority to pass an ordi-
nance relative to the street markets.
The object of this would be to vest
in Council absolute control over the
markets with the right to oust the
.sO-called "squatters" and others who
are said rot to have the legal right
to stand in the present street liar
kets and to establish such other mar
kets as may be deemed necessary.
