SITE FOR MARKET
IS BOUGHT BY CITY

The site for the municipal market
hasNeen purchased, the deeds passed
and the money paid over. That is,
the sum of $40, 500 has been paid for
half the triangular lot bounded by
Edgewood avenue, Butler street and
Boaz street, and $500 has been paid
for an option on the other half of
the lot, so that the city council may
exercise it's right to purchase the bal
ance of the site at any time during
the present year.
The market project was brought
to a successful conclusion Monday
afternoon, at the last meeting Of the
1921 council, after the most deter
mined sort of opposition which cul-
minated in litigation brought in an
attempt to enjoin the city from pur-
chasing the site.
Judge John T. Pendleton, Of the
Fulton superior court, on Monday
afternoon dismissed a temporary in
junction holding UP the market site
purchase, and denied a supersedeas
which would have kept the project
in allegiance. Less than an hour
later the aldermanic board had rati-
fed the purchase proposition, Mayor
Key had signed the warrant for the
$42 500 ard had received the deeds to
half the lot.
For mon his the city market prof.
ect has been the subject Of much dis
cuSsion in and out of council. OPP
ponents of the plan have fought it
tooth and nail, while the Atlanta
Woman's club, with substantial out
side assistance, has advocated the
market most effectively. The legal
effort to block the market, institut-
ed Saturday by c. A. Peacock, as a
citizen and taxpayer" was in the
form of a petition for injunction to
prevent the city from purchasing
the market site, on the plea that
the transaction was illegal and con-
trary to charter provisions.
Judge George l.. Bell granted a
temporary injunction, but after a
. hearing before Judge Pendleton on
Monday, the restraining order was
dissolved and the legal barrier re-
moved.
The purchase of the site had been
approved by the general council, so
that favorable action by the alder
manic board at it's last meeting of
the year Monday afternoon COM
pleted the transaction except for the
mayors signature and the passing
Of the deeds and checks. This was
accomplished without delay, Mayor
Key signing the resolution and war
rants in the presence Of Mrs. B. M.
Boykin, president of the Woman's
club, and Mrs. Norman Sharp, head
of the market committee Of the
club. Mrs. Sharp requested and re-
ceived the pen used by Mayor Key
In signing the papers.
Alderman J. L. Carpenter, Davis
and Garner voted against the mar
ket project, while Aldermen Coch-
ran, Seawright, McLendon, William
son, Crossword. Wilder and Good
hart favored the purchase. Alder
men Carpenter and Davis gave no
tice that they would continue their
fight against the plan, trying to
block the purchase of the other half
of the site.
The site will cost $4,000 all told.
