TRY ONE Way
FORKINGSTREET
Department Tells Advocate
Traffic Idea Will be
Given Trial
EXTRA REVENUE
SEEMS LIKELY

One way tramc on King street on
Market days was again agitated at
the meeting OF the Street and Sewer
Department this morning. when Mrs.
NJ. McIvins again advocated that the
method OF travel be established
through Edwin S, McAteer, clerk Of
the market.
The method advocated was that
all persons frequenting King street
on Wednesdays and Saturdays be
compelled to travel in the same di-
rection between street intersections.
on one side OF the street and in the
opposite direction on the other side.
II was also suggested that the curb
markets he established on both sides
Of the street.
Should this method be adopted by
the Street and Sewer Department a
person going beyond a stand to
which he or she desired to return,
would have to continue TO the next
intersection. crossing King street TO
the opposite side and return in the
opposite direction to the intersection,
recrossing King street and proceed
ing to the desired point in the mar
ket.
Beside the relief to traffic the new
plan would insure. il was contended
that many farmers. who, previous
to the erection of the public build
ings and odd Fellows Hall on King
at Tenth street, had utilized this sec
ton as stands were practically elm
mated from the Market President
johnson inquired of Mr. McAteer.
what had become OF these farmer
and IL he had any applications for
spaces, in the market should the new
plan be tried. Mr.. McAteer replied
that he had sufficient applications TO
fiji at least two blocks The loss
of revenue under the present plan
was pointed out by Mrsib. McIvins as
one reason for adopting the new
plan. She said while she practic-
ally stood alone in the matter before
the board she was in fact supported
by many frequenters Of the market
as well as by many farmers. A
member Of the board told Mrs. Nc
WINS the plan is being favorably
considered by the Department and
as soon as King street. is improved
the plan will be tried
The removal of the half pavement
awnings was also advocated and the
replacing OF them with awnings ex-
tending the entire width of the pave
ment.
Mrs McIvins also complained that
mony vendors, who have building
line stands, block trahhce by selling
from in front Of the stands instead
OF from the rear.
