ORDINANCE TO
CORRECT EVILS
IN MARKET READ
Stall and Space Auction Sys-
tenn Will be Eliminated by
Pending Bill.

An ordinance providing radical
changes In the operation of the city
market system was introduced for
first reading at council meeting last
night.
The ordinance aims to correct evils
which have existed In the Richmond
market system, recently pointed out
by Prof. Stockman Of Indiana Univer-
sity, who, after q careful investigation,
statewide In scope, declared in q pub
lie statement that the Richmond sys-
tenn was the worst in Indiana, finding
especial fault with It because OF the
plan followed in auctioning of stalls
ana wagon "backup" spaces, and Of
permitting commission dealers to OPP
crate at the market.
The proposed ordinance aims at a
system which will provide more COM
petition between market gardeners
with resulting lower prices.
Eliminates Auction System
In brief, the measure eliminates the
stall and space auctioning system. It
provides for the rental Of each stall
at 50 a month and makes no charge
for wagon space. The stalls would
be allotted each month. the gardeners
drawing for places. Under the terms
of the ordinance, commission dealers
would be prohibited from operating
at the market.
Council was very much divided in
its opinion as to what changes should
no made in the market system. Sew
eral of them voiced objections to barr
ing commission dealers from the mar
ket
William Eehnen, a farmer, protested
against the present system, claiming
i the charges for places in the market
were exhorhitant and asserting that
the market house was inadequate. He
made no statement as to why the
market was not more generally utiliz-
ed by produce growers. Councilman
Wilkins asserted that the modern far
mer was making so much money that
he no longer cared to deal in garden
produce.
Pay Raise Bill Passes
On third reading an ordinance in
creasing the pay OF the hremen and
patro!men from SIS to $50 per month
was passed. 1t becomes operative
July /. This ordinance also increases
the salaries Of the fire and police
chiefs from $500 to 1925 per month,
the first sergeant Of police from $50
to $s5 per month, and the salary OF
the assistant fire chief from $50 to
sS5.

Can Surplus Fruits ndaegetables.

Secretary of ASric uiYre, d. F.
Houston, issued the following state
ment recently:
Every housewife this year should
restore to her home the often over
looked home industries Of canning,
preserving, picking, and drying of
perishable fruits or vegetables. The
large number of new backyard gar
dens which have been PLANTED this
year shortly will begin tp Yield their
extra harvest of beans, peas, carrots,
beets, sweet corn, and tomatoes. The
regular supplies also will reach the
markets and, as happens each sum-,
mer, the local supply at times will
exceed immediate cons ptive cap
acity. Not to conserve Ich of this
surplusage of valuable food would
be sinful waste
The present foou and labor situa-
tons are such that no household is
justified in looking to others to re-
lease it wholly from Individual res
possibility and constructive action in
saving and conserving food. All any
home should expect of Others is to
supply those foods whiCa can not be
produced effectively byi.s own mem
bers. The railroads will be burdened
with the transportation of staple
foods and civil and military neces-
saries from localities ofitproduction
and manufacture to districts in
capable of supplyingitAeiE own
needs. 1t follows that all locally
produced foods, conserved by home
methods, lessen the win,cr pressure
on transportation agencies and also
release similar products of factories
for other purposes.

to can all surplus perisha3le products
