some tune ago The Republican an-
 nounced exclusively that earnest eff forts were being made looking to
 the establishment of public market
 in this city. It seems now that the
 time has come when this civic inn
 provement is to become an assured | fact.
 | Through J. $. Griffin, the Phoenix
 Public Market company has negoti-
 ated a twenty-year lease on the new building on East Washington street between Third and Fourth streets, commonly known as the Thalheimer building, which building is ideal for
 the purpose and is new and sani- tary.
 frontage of 1SO feet on Wash ington street with depth of 137 feet comprising the four west store rooms of the building will be occu- pied in the beginning and possession of the balance of the building ac- quired next spring.
 Two large archways will be cut in each wall making transverse aisles
 through the entire length of the market.
 Unit No. l, 40x137 feet, at Third street. will contain the three largest tAtiuSlNt utlldi lIIitUlS COllSlSllDS Ol drugs, groceries and meats The grocery department will be equipped with sanitary display racks and cases, but no counter except the wrapping counter. which is the up- to-date practice in the modern stores of the east and is being extensively adopted on the coast.
 Sanitation and pure food is to be ha -ot tcb pf ba rl- nowhere will this rule show greater results than in the meat department All animals will be inspected before killed and also all meat will be in- spected according to the strictest government rules and a certificate is- sued as to its quality and healthful- ness. No meat failing to pass this rigid inspection can be offered for sale in the market. This rule of in spection and certified products will also be enforced in the poultry. dairy products. fish and other departments.
 A bakery department selling bak- cry goods from all the city bakeries. together with delicatessen store will occupy the front portion of Unit No. ?. The fixtures in this depart ment as well as the drug and grocery departments will be installed by the local firm of Hilton X Peck, who will also furnish the scales used the market.
 In the rear of Unit No. ? will be located the cold storage for the use of the market tenants.
 Booths to the number of forty three for vegetables fruits and gen eral ranch products will occupy the space in Units Nos. and and the fixtures. consisting of low partitions, display racks and counters. all white enamelle6. will be installed under contract by C. w. Cisney.
 Unit No. f. the room formerly oc- cupied by the Murray Anderson dan cling school, will be converted into an Arcade, where various lines of mer- business and offices will be located. The Arcade will be on the order of an exposition and several of the city stores will maintain branch | es there The downtown office of the Phoenix Railway company will | he in the Arcade. Large rest rooms | are provided for both men and | women.
 One delivery service for all ten l ants of the market will materially cut | the cost of that hitherto expensive | feature of merchandising.
 Arrangements already have been | made to supply branches of the mar i ket in two mining towns. with a | varied line of Salt River valley prod | ucts, consisting of dressed meats, | poultry. eggs, butter, bakery goods, ! ' egetables and fruits, which will be | delivered in mixed carlots. This ser vice will be extended to other towns | n the state as increased production 1 justifies.
 The street railway loop which | passes around the market building | will soon be completed and will make i the market accessible from all parts l
