WOMEN OPPOSE JEWETTS CITY MARKET PLANS Department Club Regards Comfort Station, Stuccoing Needless Expense. RECOMMEND CHANGES Opposition to the expenditure of $125,000 for the rehabilitation of the city market house under plans adopted by the Jewett administration early last year was expressed by the market committee of the community welfare department of the Women’s Department Club to the board of public safety Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Ira M. Holmes, chairman of the committee, read a list of recommendations for physical and managerial improvements in the market, asserting that the place can be put In splendid shape for far less than the previous administration planned. The Department Club. Mrs. Holmes said, is particularly opposed to the establishment of a public comfort station in the market building, and the waste of money upon stuccoing for the outside walls. Spend the money upon actual market improvements, she urged. ASK CURB MARKET PRACTICES STOPPED. The board also received recommendations from a committee representing the East Washington Street Merchants’ Association that a number of curb market practices around the courthouse, which they consider nuisances, be eliminated. Chief among these was the desire that the sale of articles other than foodstuffs be prohibited. Peddlers have even been found selling furniture on the courthouse sidewalks, Samuel Meuller, chairman of the committee, said. The board took the communications of both committees under advisement. Republican Board Member E. G. Sourbier. who has taken market house supervision for his particular job strongly agreed with the department club committee that the receipts from curb market tees and inside stand rentals should be put into a fund for the upkeep of the market instead of into the city general fund, as it has been for years. The sum amounts to about $30,000 a year, which, both the board and the women agreed, would keep the market in splendid shape. RECOMMEND UNIFORM STANDS. The Department Club committee submitted the following recommendations for physical betterments: New sewage system and relaying of concrete floors with proper slopes to drains. Uniform stands with iron frame work such that there will be a clearance of eighteen inches from the floor to make possible thorough cleansing of floor alter each market day, thereby eliminating rats. Removal of ail wall ledges and arrangement of base so that flushing will be facilitated. Paint all walls and ceilings inside the market house. Toilet facilities on main floor sufficient for market use only. New windows on Delaware strpet side, placed high enough to prevent frequent breakage. New uniform doors throughout market house equipped with adequate uniform locks. Emergency rest room in charge of matron and equipped with first aid facilities. Heating plant or heating connection with public utility plant for East Market building. ASK SUFFICIENT V IGES FOR COMPETENT BEEP. Improvements in market management were recommended as follows: Requirement that nil janitors be uniformed and on duty during ail market hours. Sufficient wages for market employes to guarantee competent help. Elimination of the curb market. Requirement that all fruits and vegetables be graded and sold according to grade. Prohibition of leasing more than four stands to one person and of sale, transfer or sublease to another person, any Rtandholder desiring to relinquish a stand to be permitted to surrender lease and be refunded unearned rental. Prohibition of installation of special equipment by any stanuholder unless by express permit of the board yf public safety and under direction of market master. Requirement that market master and his subordinates puss examination before appointment. Regular inspection of weights and measures as well as quality of goods offered for sale with authority for Inspectors to grade and separate products.. Standholders to be held responsible for acts or employes. Revocation of lease of standholders caught In unfair or deceptive practices. Exclusion from market of any person operating a stand under any other than their own name. DISPLAY OF CURRENT
MARKET PRICES. Establishment of centrally located information bureau where current market prices on foodstuffs shall be publicly displayed. Installation of competent sy item of bookkeeping for city market accounts. Members of the board said they believe a number of the suggested managerial reforms are not needed or are under way, pointing out steps taken to prevent sale of stand locations and the ; fact that a strict accounting of market i funds is required by law. They also j expressed faith in the competency of present market employes. Other members of the Department, Club committee were Mrs. W. H. H.arl ' and Mrs. E. L. Burnett. They will eon- j for further with Market Master Robert j R. Sloan. CONDITION'* ix JANUARY BETTER. The committee declared that conditions at the market were better in January than they have been since the former administration of Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank. The East Washington street merchants committee expressed a dmflre to cooperate with the board and the market i master to the end that the district where their businesses are located shall not be an eyesore. They vrre particularly anxious to eliminate x<ferctices of , producers and others who use Washington street in front of the Courthouse. Mr. Mueller said that on Saturday eve- i ning, Jan. 29, no less than eight bonfires were built on the Courthouse lawn by curb market standholders In direct violation of the city ordinance prohibiting bonfires in the city limits. Mr. Mueller also reported that farmers ; who bring produce to Washington street have been in the habit of killing i chickens and throwing the heads in the ; street. Garbage has been permitted to ■ lie undisturbed in the street for as long ! as seventy-two hours, he declared. Market Master Sloan said that he recognizes these things as evils and steps are being taken to stamp them out, but that he has inherited practices which have endured for twenty-five years, and it will require some time to eliminate them.” .1.

Barred Bondsman Is Reinstated Harry Campbell was the first of the nine bondsmen placed on the barred list in the turnkey’s office at the city Jail to be reinstated. Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth directed that his name be ac-. cepted on bonds. The list of nine posted last week by the court included some men known as professional bondsmen and some who occasionally acted as sureties. Judge Wilmeth said Campbell was barred when records in the assessor's office failed to disclose that he owned any real estate with which he could back up his signature upon bonds with. Since then Campbell has furnished proof that he recently became the owner of $6,000 worth of real estate, which qualified him as a bondsman, the judge said.
