TO DANISH MARKET al
FROM QUEEN STREET
ON TO WEST BURKE
Daily Rental For Stalls Is
New Plan.

Tho unique spectacle OF a marleat
on the main street Of Martinsburg
and In It's busiest block will soon
be a thing OF tho past. The city
council has decided TO make this
change In view OF the congested
condition of Queen street, between
Burke and Martin. especially on
Saturday rights. But there Is no de-
sire to deprive the people OF the
city of the advantages OF market
and no disposition to discriminate
against the country folk who dis
pose OF great quantities of produce
and fruits. eggs. butter. etc. to the
city buyers. Consequently the scene
will be shifted from Queen to Burke
and tho block between Queen ana
College will be assigned to the mar.
ket just as soon as this street 10
completed by Contractor Flas'gan.
The change will effect no hardship
upon any one and will relieve the
situation on Queen street, which
long has been a subject for serious
consideration on the part OF the
merchants and tho city fathers.
Daily Stall Rent
In line with this decision the
council concluded not to sell mar.
ket stalls as has been the custom
for years. Marketmen and market
women havo been in the habit OF
competing FOR choice positions and
secured yearly privilege. UItil a
satisfactory plan can be arranged.
these stalls will not be sold. yet
those parties who have had the priv
ilege for the past year will be en-
titled to continue using the spots
assigned them, but they will have to
pay tho small sum OF ten cents for
each market period The annual
sale of stalls would have been held
Saturday. but announcement was
made today at the City Recorders
office that the ancient custom HAD
been abolished. s ga. !,
Next Bars Down
AS all local butchers and those
from the county who wish to sell
fresh meats in the corporate limits
have been placed on an equal FOOT
ing, 1t Is presumed that the county
dealers Will compete with local men
in the sale of meats on the streets.
The butchers tax has been remov
ed and general tax % SIS for al
who seli meats from wagons. Hors-
tofore the butchers have paid annu~
ally $25 for the privilege of selling
from a stall in the market house.
viii Be Store Room
The room at the market house
that has been used by butchers
paying for the privilege will be com
verified into one or two storerooms
within the near future. This Is defin
itely settled. However II Is very
| likely the butchers will use the
room until the new tax law becomes
effective July ].
Must Be Paid
In this connection the city author.
files today announced that these
special taxes. briefly outlined In
! yesterdays issue of The Journal.
! must be paid before July ]. After
that date all those found guilty OF
operating without license or pay
ing tho special tax, will be subject
to penalty not exceeding that i'm.
posed by tie State.
