The Future Market
Center Of the
District Of
Columbia

0A1ANY months ago Congress pro-
C/0 Lnounced the doom of the old
Center Market to make way for Govern
ment buildings of greater National Capt.
tai, and Washington was faced with the
necessity of establishing a new market
center for the handling of food consumed
by the populace of the city.
$50 of the perishable produce consumed
in the District, at that time set about a
careful study Of local conditions, and with
a keen realization that the new location
must be acceptable to the citizens of Wash
ington as we'll as to the merchants and
farmers, considered carefully all the sites
available.
The Citizens Associations of the city al
most unanimously expressed favor of a
central location. The Bureau of Efficiency
the Federation of Citizens Associations,
and the Women's Clubs recommended site
north Of Pennsylvania Avenue. The Park
and Planning Commission and the Farmers
Committees went even further and spe-
officially Endorsed the lexington area.
Meanwhile this lexington area was de-
of Washington, quite of its own accord.
The Sanitary Grocery Company, the
Atlantic and Pacific Stores, the PIGGY
Wiggly Stores Swift and Company, the
Southern Diaries, Barber and Ross, and
other great enterprises had located there,
and two others-Sears Roebuck and the
international Harvester Co-started work
on large retail stores in the vicinity.

For transportation facilities the tract is
adjacent to the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Pennsylvania Railroads; it is close
to the Washington express terminal; and
it lies at the intersection of two of the
main trucking highways from Washing
ton into nearby Maryland, Florida and
New York Avenues.
These facts were considered. together
with the report Of the Technical Advisory
Corporation OF New York, experts in To-
eating industries, and the merchants here
represented found the Patterson Tract
Camp Meigs) the only location close to
the center OF population, easily accessible
to all consumers and producers, adjacent
TO both railroads, and Of sufficient size
to accommodate all units of a modern
market community and GIlOW for future
expansion.
They, therefore, purchased sites for
their businesses received title, and have had
the area laid out for market purposes
by those experts Construction work on
modern plants will start in the very near
future and the first large group of build
lngs will be completed and occupied by
the end of this year.
Pending legislation in Congress contem-
plates the Government operation Of q
farmers market in the District. For this
purpose large section has been reserved
which is at the disposal of Congress. If.
OF course, that body should see 1T to build
g mart for farmers elsewhere. q modern
farmers market will be built and pri-
yately operated on the Patterson Tract
Thus, by December 81, 1929, the Patter-
son tract site will succeed the present
area as
