BBLUVQ SQBNT8 FOR ABHBV1LI B Heinitsti & Reagan DRrOOJRTS, Pnlton Ave. A Church St. HERE ARE THE TWO SIDES THE ARDORBINfl MARKET HOUSE QUESTION. Aldermen Btarnes And H. L. Gutl Kvr Olve Their side A Pruml nent Butcher's Views Huck sters And Butchers Talk About It. Will the market house be abolished as such? Tnis is a question that is just now nt-i trading the attention of the Hoard ol Aldermen and the people generally as well as the renters within the walls of the Central and West End markets. At the lust meeting of the Board an ordinance tending to aboli-h the market was introduced and passed first reading. It will come up Friday for a second reading. II it passes it will then lie over a week unless unanimous consent he given to a suspension of the rules iu order that it may be passed tnen and there. It was stated before the Board by Alderman Starnes that a bid of $1200 a year had been made by a firm here that would rent the building. This firm is Mustin, Fakes & Co., wholesale com mission merchants. But the bid, as a card from Alderman Starnes will show, has been withdrawn for the present. Frnrn Nrssra HiarnesandGndger Editor Tub Citizun: As the market bouse question is becoming a mutter of considerable interest, und wc are men tioned iu your paper as the gentlemen who hnve on "the war paint," we wish to give you for publication, the facts and figures tha- actuate us to take the posi tion we do. This is an economic question tbnt affects every person in this city, as it her business men or consumers, and every person outs de of the city who are dependent upon the city tor n market Prices have certainly gone up to the consumer, und down to the producer. Iris in the power of the Mayor nno Board of Aldermen to remedy the evil, and we do not hesitate to say they should do so as early as possible. The butcher und huckster business has lie come a monopoly under the prison market house regulations, and those who compose the monopoly arc very much dissatisfied with the existing laws 'hemst-lves. while business men outsidi claim that business has become profitless since the market house was opened. The figures are as follows expense ol running market house per annum: Market keemr rer in n'h lt) M irki-l h lot", ! p r II ivitll : 2 Hive arc it:h s lit $s p- r mouth 4H 1 P,.ur in-imdtiKC t liht- ut 7fic, per m nth S Neces-a'V spinscs per y.-r I2u0 Add 10 til um 'unt A nil lor niur- ket boue i.tr annum l.i!00 Bq"nt $2,7oh luthl amount add sp cl d tux e h vca ritht In eo'l.ct from butch ers, say 4i. t Henca pi-r tenr...

The Hid Wlihdrswii EniToK Tub Citizen: Since Mr. llud- gcr and myself sent you a communica tion yesterday concerning the market house, the hrm who tillered to rent the market house for the sum of $1201) per year has withdrawn its bid tor the present and asked me to so state. T. C. Sturm. Ml Wolfe- Uppoam It The Citizen today talked with lames Wollc, one ot the lurgcst denltrs iu fresh meats in the market. He is opposed to the idea of abolishing the market. " hy, said Mr. VVolic, break up the market now, before it has had a lair trial I Before the entrance on the north side was made two firms, W. M. Hill & Co. and P. C. Mclntire. got it large share of the trad-, becuusc ot the advantageous locution ol their stalls The new entiuncechanged thinus in this respect. It helped the whole market. I spent $:U0 or $400 fixing up my stalls und tlou t like to lie torn up, ulthouuh II the city should force us out and pay me lor tnv expens- 1 could take tnv chances tor trade. Here evervthini! is under the care ol an luspec toi who can keep everything el un 1 should think the butchers should be sat isfied if t lie v uo out they will be ar rested il thev do not keep their premises clean. "Regarding the statements made to the Board bv Mr. Luther, to the t fleet that the butchers here take advantage of the farmers. I cm say that 1 have nought meat cheaper nut of the tllurkci than 1 have in. I he tanner comes to the mar ket to sill hi- beil and he has everything in a nutshell. He does not hnve to run all over town to t;et bids, and there is not i s much advantage to he taken ol him in here us there would be outside. Our prices to consumers are ulmut what tt.cy have men all along. VI course meals must advance some now, because the beeves wc buv now are stall led The three stall rented by Hill & Co, Mclntire - Sherman and myscll p it $IUI rental to thecitvn month, which o itsell is considerably more than $1 'Jut) a year." What The Keutera Say. A round of almost everyone of theitulls made by Tin; Citizen this morning gives an idea of how the tenters in the market feci on the abolition subji ct. The poll rt suited as follows: lames Wollc: 1 am opposed to It, W. M.Hill & Co.: In luvur of going out of the ma. ki t. Mclntire & Sherman ; Opposed to the t e v movement. Colter & Co : Undecided, RL. Ownbey: I've thrown tip evtry- thing to come here and I want to stay. H.ive alrendv m ide contracts for next summer, expecting to stay. A number of ladies have told me they were sur prised at the idea of abolishing the mar ket and that they would be willing to petition the Board ntuinst the idea. J. M. Ledford & Co.: Don't care much either way. L. Brown : In favor of going out. J.F. Miller: It makes no difference wi 'c i way it goes. Baker & McFee: Kather be out if we could lift a house. W. D. Redmond & Bro. : Want to get out. Keed & Co. : We come here to stay, and i hat's what we want to do. Stradley Bros ; It wou'c hurt us either wav. M. A Creastnan & Co. : Wc want to stay here, of course. S S Lynch: Whv, yes, I want to stay here. I urn fixed, and don't want to be driven out. Hare & Carver: We want to get out of the market. W. C. McConnell: Iu fuvjr of the Board letting us out. W. S. Lyle: Want to go out. P.M. Smyrc: Either way will suit me, but I would a little rather be out. Wsnu lb Market Rented Out. Editor The Citizen: I believe there is a growing sentiment in favor of rent ing the Market building out. This would at once relet. se a number of ten ants who formerly occupied buildings here and there throughout the city, and who, if released from the Ma-ket, will rent other quarters owned by private citizens This would be of general bene fit to the public. A majority of the Market men themselves are dissatisfied. Having markets in various parts of the city is a great convenience to the public. I. A. Watson. COINTV FATHERS.

There is some doubt as to the action of the House this afternoon when the hour is reached for taking a vote on the Hawaiian resolu tions. The Democratic leaders believe that the Republicans will refrain from voting in order to break the quorum. Il this be done, a motion will be made to adjourn until tomorrow, at which time it is believed a quorum of Democrats will be in atttudance. Opposition to the resolutions among Democrats seems to have disappeared, and McCreary, chair man of the foreign affairs committee, said this morning that he believed the resolutions will receive the support ol every member ol that p trty in the liousi when a vote is reached.
