CURB MARKET
PLAN OPPOSED ' !
Many Housewives Do Not Like the
Idea-Opposition from Those Who
Sell Produce.

A defined opposition to the Curb
Market plan, which is to be tried out
here next week, has arisen in two To-
calities. Many Of the housewives are
emphatically opposed to the plan and
declare that it will work hardship
upon them rather than benefit, and
those who bring produce to town in
their wagons and sell if. from house to
house are also opposed to the plan.
Several of the latter have made it
known that if the Curb Market plan
is put into effect permanently they will
discontinue coming to Greenwood.
The plan at present is to make Tues
day and Friday Of each week Curb
Market Days. On these days the wag-
ons will be lined up on North side of
Court House square and peddling will
not be permitted. The market will
exist from five thirty to nine thirty
in the morning during which time
those who desire to purchase can visit
the market and buy what they want.
The first Curb Market Day is next
Tuesday, July tenth, and the second
is Friday July thirteenth. Tuesday
and Friday of each week thereafter
will be market days.
Just what effect the opposition that
has arisen will have upon the carrying
out Of the plan is not known. There
are many who strongly favor the adop'
tion Of the plan and the entire matter
will probably be thoroughly thrashed
out in the near future.
Housewives in Congress Heights
North Greenwood and in the Carroll.
ton Avenue district are toutspoker
in the opposition to the plan. Many
have taken the matter up with var
ious ones who were instrumental ir
starting the plan and their entire ar
gument has been that it is cheaper
and far more convenient to make pur
chases from the wagons at the dool
than to doll up" and visit the Curl
Market with a busket.
The produce sellers have gotten tn
idea that the plan is a direct assault
upon them and their business an,
many Of them have told housewife
of the city that if the plan is put int
effect they will carry the majority o
. their produce to Carrollton for ship
, ment in the cooperative cars and fee
the rest to their hogs and chickens.

The Board Of Supervisors at their
meeting today cancelled every con-
tract with the Kane Kcllc Construc-
