Board of Aldermen, the fact appeared that
the principal expense in keeprng some streets
in oraer, is incurrea oy tue aamage aone to 1
them by country carts. It was thought no
more than iust that the streets so freelv used L
and occupied and requiring large outlay
ought -in part, at least, to be kept in order
by a revenue collected from those who use
them, '
The evil of forestalling the market is
another matter which the city government
desire to abate by all lawful means. The
carts which bring articles for sale, mclud-
log almost every article of provisions, are
required to be arranged by the Clerk of the
Market ; the owners thereot enjoy the bene
fits of o stand on the street and the use of
the sidewalks free of any other, than the
small charge ot ten cents. Owners of carts
bringing peanuts avail themselves of this
privilege as may be easily seen. Those who
bring their peanuts to market f or shipments
bstruet the streets to as great or greater
extent. Why should they be exempt!. ,
