TENANTS MUST MOVE.
British Government to Turn Out
Those Next to Gas Fa ctory.

LONDON, January - P).-The
courts have upheld the government In
it's efforts to dispossess the tenants of
l6 houses adjoining a factory at st.
IIelen's. Lancashire, in. which the war
office is conducting experiments with
poison gas. The government owns
both factory and houses and wanted
the tenants to move because of danger
to which it was believed they were
exposed by proximity of the gas
factory.
The tenants, however. We're willing
to assume the risk because Of antici-
pated difficulty in finding other &C
commoda tons. The courts held that
the government was not bound by the
rent restriction act. under which pri-
waite owners would have been unable
to dispOssesS the tenants.

Construction of new city market
on the present site and a ruling
that there shall be no sidewalk and

dation OF special committee Mayor

man, reported today.
The recommendation will be that
the city shall own all refrigerating
facilities, stands and shall operate
the market as a business proposition
with the most modern and sanitary
facilities, he said.
The committee, he said, found the
present market, inadequate, in
sanitary and a stumbling block In
the path OF expansion of the down
town business district"
THE building can be constructed
without cent tax levy because reve-
nues from standholders are more
than enough to care for sink
ing fund and interest on bonds to
cover the cost of building" Shane
berger said. "In twenty-five years
the city would own the structure
without encumbrance.
Shaneberger said the committee
found the city received during the
last thirty-two years 1858, 900 in reve-
nue. and expended only 1854, 900 on
the city market.
