FARMERS MARKET
HEARING ORDERED
District Heads Seek Views on
Sites for Relocation Before
Going to Congress.

The District Commissioners today
called a public hearing for October 5
to consider a site for the farmers
produce market, which is soon to be
forced from it's present location to
make way for the new Internal Rev
enue Building
A number of sites already have been
suggested, but the Commissioners are
anxious to get the consensus of the
public and the farmers who use the
market before recommending to Con-
gress the purchase of any particular
property. The hearing will be held in
the boardroom of the District Build
ing.
May Start I'm November.
The Commissioners also decided to-
day TO vacate the western half of the
farmers market whenever the super
yising architects office of the Treas s.
ury serves notice on them that ii is
prepared to begin the excavation and
other work preliminary to the con-
struction to the new building. The
eastern half will not be disturbed how
ever. until Congress provides funds
for the acquisition for permanent
site for the marker.
According To information given the
Commissioners, the supervising archi
tect's office of the Treasury probably
will start to dismantle the sheds over
the western half of the market early
in November. These sheds are to be
moved at the expense Of the Federal
Government to a location designated
by the Commissioners, where they viii
be kept in storage until a permanent
location is found for the Farmers
Market AS the District will be re-
quired TO bear the cost of re-erectIng
| these sheds. Engineer Commissioned
William r. Ladue announced that he
would prepare estimates on the cost.
Problem Is Discussed.
The problem of relocating the
! farmers who will be ousted when the
| sheds on the western half of the pres
ent site are torn down was discussed
| briefly by the Commissioners. but ne
| definite conclusions were reached. II
| was pointed out that only a few
| farmers probably would be using ths
market when the dismantling is start
ed, and that it might be possible tc
crowd all of them under the sheds or
the eastern half OF the site.
A suggestion was maze 10 the Com
missioners several days ago that thu
| farmers who are forced out of thu
market be given temporary space
along the south Grub of r street, oppo

She stopped on her ways home to
purchase milk and chocolate. They

"I'll take him for a stroll down

would have avoided meeting him, but
there was not time.
When he saw her his lips tight
