CONDITIONS At
MARKET BETTER
Merchants and Chamber of
Commerce Pleased With
0usting of "Itinerants"

As the result of agitation on the
part of Secretary John Bergen, of
the local Chamber of Commerce.
and the cooperation of Chief of
Police Niels j. Tonnesen the out-of-
town ~"itinerant merchants and
those who have no place of business
in this city, have been ousted from
the public market and the streets
adjoining. The Chamber of Com
merce had received numerous COM
plants from merchants in the city
against those who put up stands and
sold a line of cheap goods without
paying any license or taxes. The
business men pointed out that
whereas they were keeping stores
and forced to pay high rents and
taxes to conduct their business these
"open air counters" were fiourishing
on market days, making 1t necessary
TO go there themselves and compete
with the peddlers of cheap goods.
Secretary Bergen took the matter
UP with the aldermen who in turn
decided in favor of the established
merchants and Chief Tonnesen was
instructed to clear away the "itiner-
ant merchants" from the market
and side streets. The results have
been gratifying to the Chamber of
Commerce and local merchants.
All stands have disappeared from
the sidewalks and curbs and the few
remaining have been moved to va
cant lots or behind fences. PRACTICE
ally all of the outsiders have disap-
peared and only the local people re-
main. The district Is now much
cleaner and has a better appearance,
Secretary Bergen states. the old
"~eye-sore" having been greatly rem
edied.
