CHANGES URGED
At MARKET BY
MAYORS GROUP
Elimination of Stands From
Sidewalk, Angle Parking
Among Suggestions.

Suggestions for improving the
city market, adopted by the special
market study committee at its final
session Tuesday, today were before
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan for
consideration.
Proposals made by several wom-
ems club groups, which resulted in
naming of the committee, were con-
Cured in by the committee in its
report.
Principal recommendations are
elimination of outside stands, ex-
cept in case of overflow from in
side the market; installation of a
checkroom on the east side of the
market accessible to motorists;
elimination of live poultry and game
from the market as a sanitary
measure, and a ninety-day trial of
angle parking around the market
Competitive Bidding Urged
Other important suggestions are
that the market code be adhered to
strictly in the future; that dry
goods and other articles not per-
rnitted by law be removed from the
market, and that stands be leased
each year by competitive bidding,
as provided by law.
No recommendation for change
in management at the market is
made in the report, although mem
bers discussed this matter during
their hearings.
Suggestion is made that there are
too many restaurants at the mar
ket, taking up room needed for
other stands, and that they are
equipped inadequately to meet sani-
tary requirements. It is proposed
the number be reduced to two.
Further recommendations would
require all SHAREHOLDERS to build
their stands to conform to a uni
form standard; require all signs to
be uniform; require barrels, boxes
and other objects to be kept out OF
aisles; that stands be painted in
standard colors; that deliveries be
made before a. M, between IL and
p. m. and 4 and p. m.
Peddling Is DepIored
The report also urges that all
sales be made from within stands;
that children be barred from ped
ding articles in aislewayS, that hot
water be provided for cleaning
stands, that certain sewer improve
ments be made and that two police
men assigned to the market be as
signed elsewhere.
The report criticiseS Shareholders
for using the limited parking space
around the market for their own
cars, crowding out customers.
The committee is composed of
John F. White, chairman; Council
men Ernest G. Ropkey, Leo F.
WEIGH, James A. Houck and Clar-
ence I. Wheatley; William F. Hurd,
building commissioner; Mrs. G. A.
James, Mrs. E. E. Eschback and
Mrs. Mary Kynett, the latter three
representing women's clubs.
The report will be referred to the
safety board by the mayor.

der truck from the Seagrave COM
pany, for No 5 station, paying $8,975
EACH In 1880, another pumper and
ladder truck were purchased, from
the General Fire Truck Co. of st.
Louis, at $3.50 each.
Protest was made by a council
committee that inferior equipment
had been bought at this low price,
and an effort was made to block
the sale. The same day that tie
council complaint was voiced, ain
expert representing the National
Fire Underwriters Association ar
rived in Muncie, inspected the
equipment, and declared it the best
that could be bought. There were
no more objections from the council
group on that score.
Save on Fire Hose
A saving in proportion was made
on fire hose. Bills show that un-
der the previous city administration
the price was $1.3O. Under the
present regime it was bought for
IS cents.
Seventeen miles of streets were
kept in repair during 1890, at cost
Of $4,000 by the street department,
under the efficient direction of Will
liam Daniels, street commissioner.
Cost was kept at a low figure SIM
ply because no jobs we're let to
contractors, and there was no con-
tractors profit.
All work was done by department
employees, and the savings were
made in materials and labor. And
it might be mentioned that wages
of street and park department la
borers were not cut to effect any
saving. Instead, they have been
raised from 40 to so cents an hour.
Tax Rate Is Cut
The tax rate of Muncie, fixed in
1929 to be collected in 1890, was 80
cents on 500 assessed valuation. In
1880 it was cut to Sc cents. In 1881
it was reduced to SO cents, with
drop from $66,0O0,000 valuation in
1929 to $65O00,OO0 in $780, and TO
$64 100000 in 1881.
Streets of the city have been kept
in good shape, but clash between
mayor and controller and city coun-
Gil, which has resulted in a pro-
.'longed legal battle, will nuliify
much of the work, unless the fight
soon is settled.
The strife is over expenditure of
the gas tax, which must be used
for street maintenance. More than
$4,000 now is tied up, with the con-
troller playing safe, the council
marking time, and taxpayers clam
oring for action on the part of both
factions and the court.
Hope Comes at Last
Constant resort to legal action
has handicapped municipal opera
tions in Muncie, to detriment of
taxpayers, but the Dale administra-
ton has one outstanding achieve
ment to its credit-the grip of the
paving trust on the city has been
broken and property owners have
some hope today of staggering from
under the heavy burden piled on
them during Hampton's term.
The next hope of the city is to
work free from the Stranglehold of
the utilities. Of the SO cents COL
lected on every 500 of assessed val
ulation in the city. two utilities-the
Indiana General Service Co., which
furnishes lights, and the Muncie
Water Co.-take IA cents.

~ YEW YORK, April Faced with
nj 10 per cent taxation on their
tickets and ths risks of uncer-
tain gate receipts, major league
base ball clubs will need to play their
drawing cards skillfully this year to
keep from dipping any further into the
red ink.
ONLY 7 of the 16 American and Ma
tional League organizations showed a
profit at the close Of 1881. The lop-
sided character of the two pennant
races was largely responsible for the
slump In gate receipts, but the national
game, like every other sport, has telt
the pinch Of the times.
PLAYER salaries have been reduced
and the player limit cut to bring about
a saving estimated at about $780, 900,
but 1t will take additional measures to
preyent further financial embarrass-
ment for the magnates.
,TOHN McGRAW, blaming the UNI
pires for too much pacifism, believes
the fans will turn out to see the ball
players exhibit the scrappy spirit char
acteristic of McGraw's own playing
days. Many oldtimers agree with the
Giants leader, but 1t is more likely the
clubs viii rely on closer pennant races
and exploitations Of individual stars 10
stimulate keener interest.
FOR example, one Of the club owners

what is making Johnson feel that the
club will move smoother this year
Vests arm is better, and he is eX-
pected to show a decided improvement
on the defense this year. OfTensively,
he went we'll in 1881, but his throwing
arm made him a problem on the de-
fenSe. Sam Rice, sitting on the bench,
will be a hiding threat, always a good
gamble to deliver blow which means
something.
In ALL the team, other than the
pitching, is a better looking club than
the one of last season. And Monte
Weaver may come through so we'll that
Johnson's hurting problem will be
lessened. Yet another experienced tosser
is needed.
So far as the opposition is concerned,
it again will be the YankS and Ath-
letics, with the former indicating that
they will have a better ball club and
the latter again depending upon Grove
and Earnshaw Should either of the
latter two hurlers have a bad year
and why not?-the men of Mack will
have their backs to the wall Nc
Carthy's batting punch the feet Chap
man and the on-coming Larry makes
the New York club appear to be the
real opposition.
The West, as usual, has little to offer.
