Temporary Arrangement
Only Wagons Must Be
Parked In Single File
Mayor Sutton May Ask
for Aid In Dilemma
Mayor Sutton Monday morning in
structed the police to allow the co
ton exchange to be moved bnck to
Queen street, with the understanding
that wagons be parked single file
facing north or south, in the very
center of the street, crossings being
kept open. On "runovcr" occasions
tho surplus wagons will be parked on
West Gordon street below Queen.
inere nail Men some nuir ti::isai-
, isfaction over the action of hc au
thorities in driving the exchange off
Queen onto East Gordon street Sat
urday. There seemed to be favor if
a mild protest against moving t!i
exchange from the business district,
which was intended to be done ulti
mately. Then, Mayor Sutton explain
ed, there had to be some arrangement
made by which room could he givoi
the planters' wagons. There was not
cr.outrh. room on East Gordon. "We
must show the farmers every consid
eration." Mr. Sutton said.
The new arrangement is not in
tended to be permanent, it is under
stood. Some plan is sought whereby
the exchange can be located where
traffic will not be inconvenienced and
buyers and sellers will be as well
satisfied.
Mr. Sutton may ask the Chamber
of Commerce and the City Councif to
discuss the matter.
