 In reply to a question, Mayor Quig- ley was informed that probably thirty or forty produce growers, living in many towns of this vicinity. would join the market gardeners associa tion, if organized
 The mayor stated that the city would not take the matter up unless it promised benefits to it's residents and suggested that if the farmers wanted simply a produce exchange. where they could sell their stuff at wholesale to the middleman, they could hire Pinches' lot on Church street for the purpose, the city to have no hand in the matter whatso- ever.
 In taking leave, Mayor Quigley rec commended that those present at last nights meeting set their members to- gether and give the city concrete proposition.
