Pearsall In look- Ing Into the matter of proponing the establishment of a public market In the Tillage. The indiscriminate use of of the street* by huckster*, peddlers tand farmers ha* brought the matter to a point where Trustee Pearsall con- sider* that It might be well from many points of view to provide for a specific place at which such Individuals can display their wares. Police Chief Hartman declares that license* issued to war veterans com- plicate the matter of caring for the situation,- and there Is also a provi- sion in the law which makes It un- necessary to have licenses. The thing that capped the climax for Trustee Pearsnll, while he was looking into the public market propo- sition, was the appearance on Hit 1 street- of a peddler who carried a fold- ing stand on which .he placed a display case for candles. Such Individuals, with policeman at their heels. Is a familiar sight in New York? Should Never Have Left Sarah. \My dear.\ mild nr> old lady. \I felt I ought never to have taken the hol- iday.
