st. sides Of courthouse missing.
Today was the first test OF the
ioa of "afety's recent attempt to
soNe the market problem through
bl, ckirg q Ma ket s., betw cen
Alabama and Delaware SITS, and its
conversion into an open market.
With two long rows of stalls in the
center of the street, ample room for
passage of pedestrians was afforded.
The automobile congestion seemed
considerably relieved. Attempts to
park in the block now closed oc-
casioned many traffic jams IN the
past.
However, Market Master Earl Gar.
rett charged county commissioners
with failure to cooperate in the move
to rid the city of the insanitary con-
dition because they have permitted
five standholders to take positions at
the west entrance of the courthouse
on Delaware st.
IT'S an outrage" Garrett ex-
claimed "These standholders are
chiefly those | forced from the mar
ket because they violated rules and
were Objectionable"
Garrett said that he days of choice
corner locations for the politically
powerful are over. He will estab-
lish aisles, seven feet wide, at inter
walls of twenty-eight feet, thereby
making nearly all stands corner
stalls.
Producers from the country were
allowed to, park their trucks all
about the courthouse. but had fin.
ished their business before s a. m.
At the end Of the day the street
will be flushed with fire hose and
:, thoroughly cleaned, Garrett said
The transformation of market
stalls caused a little confusion early
in the day, but the change was made
with a relatively small amount of
trouble.
The regulations will prevail on
Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays,
he regular market days.
