II Barre's proposed public market does
not become reality il is going to die
hard Undeterred BY the refusal Of the
city council to accept as progressive the
report which recommended that the plan
be inaugurated, the special lldermaniC
committee is following instructions by
seeking tentative sites for the market
| A location somewhere in the vicinity OF
Depot square is generally favored, as the
square Is about equidistant to both ends
Of the city The committee believes that
public market would involve mini,
mum expense for the city, as the farmers
who patronize il would be required e
pay small rental fee. Sentiment on
The street seems to be divided as Ia
whether or not the public would be
greatly benefited by market for farm
| produce.
