All Forces Promise
Cooperation to New
Waycross Police Chief

WAYCROSS, Ca, Aug. 24.-The
Waycross curb market is to be
formed into an association, with Of
ficers and a board Of directors. The
idea has been a success from the
start, and it is now necessary for
some one to give attention to the
details Of the work, and possible
changes that would be an improve
ment. The real aim of the Curb
Market association will be the hous-
ing Of the market in a Hiding Of
it's own, with stalls for the use of
the farmers to display their wares
ITO better advantage and be free Of
the bad weather of the coming win
ter.
The Waycross Ice and Cold Stor-
age company is to be enlarged by
the addition Of a large ice storage
room. The approximate cost will be
100000, and is to include a consid-
cradle amount Of new machinery.
The contract for this work has been
awarded the Park-Moran company,
Of this city, and is to be completed
by December 1. This enlargement
of the ice plant has been made neces-
sary by the large and rapidly grow
ing re-icing business. Waycross has
for long been regarded as an inn
portant forwarding point in this Sec
ton, and these improvements will
facilitate the handling of the thou
sands Of cars routed from here.
