houses follows interested discussion
over the future site OF such esta blish-
ments which has been widely partici-
pat ed in by civic and trade organ a.
tions. The ma jority OF the civic as
socia tons have gone on record for
the mid-city site, which is the third
choice Of the commission.
The lexington site. near the r. &
O. freight yards. was the subject of
one Of the special articles in The
Star last Summer. explaining the ad-
a ,%nC Nf n
various locations under consideration.
At that time. it was pointed out that
there was no definite spot picked
out in this vicinity for the farmers
market but the section advanced by
the Baltimore and Ohio officials was
along the r. h o. tracks. from |. street
to Rhode Island avenue. The main
advantage cited at the time was the
fact that the area had been chosen
by business interests for large stOra &c
houses because of the track side
facilities. About so concerns have
chosen the area for establishment of
warehouses. from which are delivered
goods to all sections Of the city.
MiM-city Advantage.
The second choice of the commits
sion. the waterfront site. has also
come In for strong endorsement
principally from business men in the
southwest section Of the city and
from the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Refrigeration facilities already exist.
the site is within easy reach OF

short haul Of four miles from the

/ One strong disadvantage pointed out
| is the location of this site on the
edge Of the city and the fact that
automobile transportation must pass

Washington. Street car facilities are
not OF the best.
The mid-city site. it was pointed
out. has the advantage of being mar
the center Of the city's population
and geographical centerA and at the
same time lies within easy hauling

streets which do not pass through

superintendent OF the hospital, re-

4S-hour week. An increase of $3.50
for day workers, and $5 for night
