three of these offered in the form of
silver cups by President c. II. c.

press wagons third, baby coaches
and go-carts; fourth, costumes and

PassaiC Plans to Follow
the Lead of Newark and
Open City Fish Markets

PASSAIC, Sept. 14.-FolIoWing New
arl1's lead, the city commissioners this
week will consider the establishment
of a public fish market here. The
plan is to have it conducted by City
Sealer of Weights and Measures
Peter j. Gallagher.
The price, as in Newark, will be six
cents pound. The fact that Passaic
has a very large foreign population
and that the so-called poorer element
would take advantage of such action,
makes it appear most favorable.

ing the example of Newark, this city
has opened a municipal market. 1t
has been so successful that the city
will erect a permanent home in which
