SITE OF FARM Frs MARKET
is NEEDED BY U. S. AT ONCE
D. c. MUS I
GET OUT

The necessity for relocating the
Farmers Market, now occupying
the area between b, Little B, Tenth
and Twelfth Streets Northwest,
reached a crux today when J. A.
IWetmore. supervising architect of
the Treasury, notified the District
Commissioners that the entire area
Is needed as soon as possible for
the new $10.000,00 Internal
Revenue Building.
Wetmore told the Commissioners
that conditions in connection with
this project have changed and it is
now very desirable to have not
only half, but the entire space
occupied by the Farmers Market in
order that construction of the
Internal Revenue Building may be
started. Please advise us what is
the earliest date that you can give
possession of this space. .
The request leaves the Commits
sioners in a bad position. 1t had
formerly been the understanding
that the Federal Government would
only need half of the space occu-
pied by the Farmers Market in
order to begin construction and
that the remainder would be left
until Congress had provided new
market center,
There is no money now available
to provide a new location for the
market. A bill appropriating $780,.
600 for this purpose failed to pass
in the last Congress.
George M. Roberts. supervisor of
weights and measures, who has
direct supervision over the markets.
pointed out that the months Of
August. September and October are
busiest of the entire year at the
Farmers Market.
