FOR farmers MARKET
Produce Exchange to Be
Located on Shurberg
Property

Removal OF the farm produce
market from Commercial street will
be effected in the early part of next
week when the Shurberg lot in the
rear OF Mohican market will be
taken over under a plan perfected
today in a conference at the office
o. Chief of Police William c. Hart.
The movement to locate the mar
ket at some spot other than city
street was sponsored by Councilman
Samuel Sablotsky after the police
and fire department protested
against traffoc and fire hazards at
tending trading on Commercial
street. At the last council meeting
Sablotsky declared in favor of i'm
mediate action ant insisted the
scheme could be worked cut within
a month in spite of previous failure
on the part of council committees to
obtain Il site and perfect an agree
ment which would be satisfactory 10
all concerned. The committees re-
port to the common council tomor-
row night will substantiatc the sixth
ward councilman's contention.
Chief Hart will detail {. policeman
TO the market, whose duty it will be
/ 10 see that each farmer pays Il fee of
$3.50, which will be Shurberg's
compensation for use of the land,
and will also allot the stalls and see
that every trader is in lis proper
place. The board Of public works
and health department will be asked
TO cooperate in keeping the market
clean.
Farmers will be notified of the
change when they take Up their po-
SitionS in the Commercial street
market tomorrow and Will be told
when the shift will be effected.
The principal objector to the pres
ent market is Chief William j. Noble
Of the fire department. Chief Noble
has declared accidents would be un-
avoidable in case of fires which
would make it necessary for the ap-
paratus to pass through the mar
/ ket place. The congestion brought
ABOUT by the presence OF more than
60 wagons and trucks gave the po-
lice department considerable con-
Germ also.
Several sites were under consider
alton, including the plot in the rear
of Central Junior High school, but
the school committee at its last
meeting was almost unanimous in
declining to allow that 10. to be con-
verified into market.
The council committee consisted OF
Alderman David l.. Nair. chairman;
Councimen Samuel Sablotsky,
Thomas B. Fay. John G. Buckley
and Frank S. Caldwell.
