Would Hulld Sheds at Foot) or Commercial Hullroad to Hrlug I Many Small Fanners Establishment of tho public mar ket in Marshflcld for a period of 12 months would put the Institu tion on a solid foundation, In that tho farniors would bo raising pro duce to soil and tho consumers hvould havo been, taught .whoro to buy, was the statement of W. U. Douglas, as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, In inn ad dress last evening to tho City Coun cil. . ' ' Ho asked tho support of tho Council and tho permission to erect frnmo booths at tho foot of Com mercial avenue. Though no nctlon was taken by tho city futhors, thoro was no opposition exprossod and Georgo 13. Cook, who last week opposed tho move, changed hla Btnnd, saying Hint he had made further investigations, and now fa vors tho public markot as a good and beneficial Institution that should exist here. Keep Money at Homo "Tho Idea Is to keop at homo somo of tho vast amount of monoy that wo aro annually sending out to other bccUoiib to pay for pro duce that might an well bo raised at homo," doclared Mr. Douglas. "It will bo hard to start Bitch a market. It will bo a groat deal harder to keop It going. Hut If wo can get it through ono year of llfo, I firmly bollovo tho public markot In Marshfleld will thereafter ho a success and nn established institu tion. "My reasons for so thinking oro theso: It will show tho farmer n way to get rid of all tho dcslrnblo vegetables and produco thnt ho will ralso, and tt will show the h on so ul fo where sho can buy fresh vego- tnblco, straight from tho gardens." Mr. Douglas expressed tho opin ion that such n markot would not greatly rcduco tho ultimate cost to tho consumer. Kullroad to Wing Funnels "Next year tho railroad will be gin bringing In to us tho small formers, tho men with tho small nmountB to Invest. These aro tho mon who will naturally go Into tho produco business and theso aro tho mon wo want to glvo n market to. When wo got thorn In hero wo aro going to havo to glvo them an out lot for tholr stuff. Tho bonoflt that wo will dorlvo straightway will ho tho hooping of our money at homo." Kicrt Shed With Stalls Ho said that a shod somo 20 foot wldo and 40 or 50 feet In length would bo necessary at tho foot of Commercial avenue, this to ho dl vldod Into stalls that will bo rent ed. Tlio rent money would bo turn ed over to a markot master to pay him for looking after tho stalls; for soolng that tho stuff Is markot able and for seeing that ovorythlug sold Is raised In this section. "I havo looked Into this mutter moro closely," said Councilman Cook, "and I am now heartily in favor of tho public markot, I can , bco whoro It will ralso tho standard , of tho produco. I find many farm ers who tiro In favor of the move." No nctlon was asked of tho Conn- J ell last ovenlng.
