STREET COMMITTEE
FIXES BUILDING LINE

After hearing citizens on both sides
OF the question yesterday evening the
Street Committee, on motion OF AL
aerman Gunst, adopted a resolution
recommending the fixing Of a building
line on Main Street, between Linden
and Cherry. at fifteen feet from the
street line
The contention OF those who OPP
posed the fixing OF a line was that
in the future the property might be
offered for business purposes and then
there would be trouble disposing OF
IT, Those who urged the fixing Of
line were residents OF the block.
who objected to the building OF q
store 10 the street line, IN the middle
OF the block. as was anticipated by
one of the property owners
The question will be further dis
cursed when II comes before the
Council. Those present at the meet
ing were: Chairman Pollock, Gunst.
Jones. Butler and Powers. The alb
sentees were Messrs. Fuller. Nielsen.

Act Vetoed by Governor McGovern
TWO Years Ago Roappears
at Madison.

A market commission bill has been
introduced in the assembly by Assem-
blynan E. W. Crosby Of Neillsyille. 1t
follows the provisions of the bill in,
troduced two years ago, except that
the administration Of the law is placed
with the state dairy and food depart
ment instead Of with a special com
mission.
The dairy and food department is
directed to examine The market facili-
ties in different cities upon request;
to make and publish a list of the in
dividuals who desire to purchase farm
products direct; to assist in the stand
ardization of products as to quality;
to urge direct purchase by laborers
and 10 publish a list of consumers

FOR.
The department is authorized to ad-
yertise so as to receive applications
from individuals who desire their
names upon the lists and to make an
investigation as to the financial stand
ing of the names of persons so sub
mitted. These latter features are
taken largely from the Hull bill OF
two years age, which was vetoed by
Governor McG0vcrn.
