Dear Sir-zYou should not be dis
turbed by the administrations petty
attempt to make 1t appear that you
oppose spending $125. 900 on the city

Alex Taggart of the board of

penditure, is market standholdes
and when it comes to discussion
of motives you have as much right
to impugn as any one else.
What you and the rest OF your So

is to refuse to do anything for the
city market until such time rs the
administration attempts to make ehe
market what it should be-a mee$-
Ing place between consumers and
producers.
