City Curb-Say Would In
crease Efficiency.

At last it has reached the common
council
The St Joseph County Market and
Fruit Growers association are after
that body 20 provide a wholesale mar
ket place. along the curb somewhere
in the city; the cost OF positions for
the remainder Of the season 10 be 81
per wagon.
Efficiency in dealing with the city
merchants is one Of the things argued
for
II is declared that II will not inter-
fere with the present city market in
the least-as 10 those who wish TO
sell at retail on such market.
ON the other hand. the council is
given TO understand that the growers
will be saved a considerable waste OF
time while money that is now being
sent away by the retailers for fruits
and produce will be spent here at
home. on the wholesale market-just
AS though the money had been going
away heretofore regardless OF local
production; as IL. for a sort of spite.
The matter, which came up in the
form OF a communication, viii be
considered by the council when il
meets in the hole" next week. along
with a number OF other matters

ton is $50 fine or 80 days in the
bastile.
The regulation OF street car traffic
at Vistula and Sample requires that

an opportunity to be heard.
AS TO the swimming ordinance pro-
posed City Atty. Seebirt explained.
on being asked for an opinion. that
he doubted the city's power TO pro-
hibit swimming in the river. and this
brought Councilman Seifert TO his
feet with the proposal that swimming
places be provided for boys. men and
girls by the city. that will wean them
away from the river. Naked swim
mers caused the complaint Council
man Buechner explained that he had
had that matter before the previous
council. but that the park board had
fought IL, and IL died out
The park board took the position
that a swimming place using river
water would be unhealthy" Buechner
declared, but l don't agree with
them"
