Mayor Ferrv will probably ask the city com- mission for an appropriation of $2C0 to finance the experiment, it is understood. With this money, George H. Sutton, market master, would go into the farming farm-ing districts and buy produce for casn. This would be put on sale in the market stalls not now in use by prducers. Young women would be hired to sell the produce. cn center for operation is also under consideration. con-sideration. A petition to have this done was presented to the commission by the club women some time ago. It may be that a plan for joint operation by the city and the women of the Civic center will result, the club women to conduct the selling end of the business and accounting ac-counting to the market master, who will represent the city and attend to the buying, buy-ing, and have general supervision. |
