TEMPORARY MARKET HOUSE CONSIDERED Indent Park 30 Feet for Stalls, With Roof Over
 Curbing Suggested

To get the new city market under
 cover is the next development facing housekeepers and farmers. Having secured a desirable location beside Woodrow Wilson park they are now planning ways and means to keep
 out of the sun and rain. It has been suggested that the east side of the park be indented about thirty feet for stalls. all paying rent as
 maintenance revenue. and that hollow tile or similar substance be used for walls and partitions.
 The proposed roof would extend, sup ported by steel uprights and arms. not only over the sidewalk before the stalls but beyond to cover the wagons parked at the curb.
 Proper housing was not overlooked when the market was planned, but there was so much to be done to secure the location that anything like tenn lporary building. until permanent mar ket is located and established. was and patrons of the market are con- l sidering ways and means to protect purchasers and goods from the ele- ments.
 The committees handling the market development are considering the ad- visibility of temporary structure and although it's nature Is yet to be de- termined. 1t Is believed the foregoing suggestion very likely will be seriously considered in the near future.

 For instance, Fourth and Fifth ave nues, Twenty first street, north, and Highland avenue. 1 understand that the city only has available something like Sl2,000 per year to maintain her paved streets. If this is true, it is a sin and shame and a disgrace to the community that this condition be allowed to con- tinue. The people should cooperate with the city officials and see if some plan can be worked out to obtain sufficient funds to put the streets in proper con ditlon and keep them that way. 1 be- lieve that if in place of always knocking and criticising the officials, the people newspapers and everything would get behind them and give them a little back ing and sympathy occasionally, better results might be obtained.
 DIVERGENT VIEWS
 The success or failure of pavements is determined by different people in differ ent ways and from different viewpoints and angles. For instance, a promoter of brick pavements may say that asphalt or concrete pavements are failures. and will be able to cite instances which would appear to prove it. The same is true for the promoters of other types Of ing have their proper place in the world, but those in authority should be very careful to see that the proper type is placed in the proper places.

 Another old friend invited me to his temporary room at a fashion able hotel, where he told me an acquaintance had just brought him up from Savannah a case of Old Prentice, which he had gotten from a millionaire who had brought 1t down from New York in his yacht.
