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. Mr. Douglas said
thcro will bo no noed of such a
markot until spring, tho Idea being
to get tho plan on foot early In '
tho season,
