MUNICIPAL MARKET
FOR ATLANTIC CITY
Will Open Thursday With Hope
of Becoming Permanent
Institution
ATLANTIC CITY, July "a


Inc first municipal market ever operated
IN Atlantic City will open at 80 o'clock
Thursday morning on city property located
at Albany and Winchester avenues and will
continue until O'clock when it will be
necessary for the farmers to return to look
after the harvesting Of crops.
The opening day will be somewhat in the
nature of an experiment as the matter has
been decided upon rather quickly. and as
yet no special provisions have been made in
the way of stalls, etc However, II is ex-
pected that by next week tents will be
erected The market will not be opened
every day in the week, possibly not oftener
than twice week Everything depends on
the corporation of producer and consumer
Shore women are, to a large degree, re-
sponsible for the opening Of the market
which is the direct outcome of the motor run
made by the conservation department Of tho
Woman's Service League for Home Defense
to the farmers of Atlantic County, when
they investigated conditions and reported
them to the Hotelmen's Association, which
backed tho movement to open a community
market. 1t has been found that enough
produce Is grown in Atlantic County alone
to supply the needs of the city. Robert
Maltby the county vocational instructor
mas assured the hotelmen that the a,rmers
are very eager to sell their produce directly
TO the consumer, and large number will
be present with quantities of produce.
Members Of the Women's Service League
appointed by Mayor Bacharach for home
defense. have signifed their intention of
leading vanguard Of women armed with
market baskets on the opening day. The
site of the market is very convenient to the
trolley and to the jitney service
