18TH ANDL STREETS
URGED FOR MARKET
Ludy Picks Site as Affording
Easiest Access and Greatest
Space.

Another proposal for locating the
Farmers Market at Nineteenth to
Twenty-frst, l. to M street. is made
by w. Edgar Ludy. 1115 Connecticut
avenue. He believes that this would
be a location between the center OF
population and the place in which a
ma jority Of the people work, after the
probable growth of the city has been
taken into consideration.
Mr.. Ludy estimates that probably
the largest desirable territory for resi-
Dental expansion is the vast section
between Chevy Chase and the Potomac
River on the Palisades. He says that
in addition to ample space for the
Farmers Market, the site he proposes
would afford automobile parking space
for about 1000 cars.
In further explaining his recon.
mendation, Mr.. Ludy says:
THE majority of these blocks is now
zoned second commercial, permitting
the use for shops, garages and light
manufacture, and considerable of the
property is now put to such use. The
residence property in this section IS
becoming old, dilapidated and insight
ly. with old-style plumbing or none at
all, and the market would be big i'm
provement in the general conditions.
both as to health and appearance. The
natural trend of business has been to-
ward this location from the time the
city started at the Peace Monument
on Pennsylvania avenue, as the oldest
inhabitants in Washington can easily
remember how business has moved up
Northwest year by year. If you will
take a map Of the city you will note
that you can get a direct route to
meet any part Of the city and the sur
rounding farm communities"
