The approach ap-proach of spring made it imperative that some decision be reached. As a result of tho discussion yesterday morning morn-ing it was decided tentatively that the market should be undertaken again and that the mayor's secretary should be put in charge The matter will probably prob-ably be finally decided this morning if the" plans and suggestions submitted by Mr. Young meet with the approval of the commission. While no place for the market has yet been determined upon, it is thought likelv that it will be located at the north side of the grounds of the city and county building, where preparation was made during the time of the previous pre-vious operation of one. The other possible pos-sible location is at Pioneer park, also previously used. The city and county grounds are regarded as more centrally located, however, and will probably be selected.
