According io the diagram drawn by Mr. Cluss, the ground floor is divided int) rectanqles of twelve by teen feet, which are subdivided into four stalls, each having a frontage of seven and @ balf feeton one side and six foet on the Giher. ‘These quares are surrounded by aisics, eight and a half feet in width longitadinally, and fowr anda half feet in width transversely, thus sowing sree pase either straight for- ward or to the right or leit, As these squares or Tectangles are the width of twos.alls, one dealer may, if he desires, have a double stall, with a feprtege of twelve fee ‘ong the side walls ach six fect anda half front p. so arranged that ice-boxes may take the place of wail-cases, thas saving the interior from being obstructed. The side market company propo-ed to assign to ers, leaving those in the interior to the other dealers. This plan did not meet the views of the butehers present, who thought the space assigned them insufficient. Mr. Dunn believed the three aisles rupning the length of the building should be of equal width, and that the butchers should have the stal's on either side of the mikile passage. Mr. Cluss said he had drawn the plan Ri ose Of the model marketsof New York and Philadelphia, but the company was anxious to please the market men would therefore accept any suggestions as t) change. Mr. Hoover said the butchers could not well get along Out a ten-lyy-ten stall. He, for one, was willin; % pay fer more space than that allotted by Mr. Ciuss. Referring to the small butcher stalls of lladelphia markets, Mr. Dunn said the ‘bers there sold but one kind of meat, and therefore could get along with less ” Mr. Close said if they sold but one kind of meat they did 9 much larger business than the Washington butebers. In his plan he had allowed fifty cent. more room for stalls than the «id in Philadelphia. Mr. Hall said two stal! } ke those in the plan would not be enough for Lis business. Mr. Cluss reminded him that he would be allowed to hire or purchase as many as he needed for his business. The market wing on Tth stroet is 200 feet long by 75 feet wide in the clear, covering, therefore, an area of 15.000 FBqvare feet. Of thés total, the liberal allowance ol 7.300 square feet was, by the diagram as ex- Do bited, proposed to be thrown into the aisles, sud the rest was divided into 150 stands and stal’s, ov rather wmifies of space, so that one unity Of spree averages +8 square feet occupied, and £2 square feet of a‘sie attached. This makes 100 are feet in Washington against 67 square feet all the Philadelphia markets.

Finally, there seeming to be pretey general brani on the subject, Mr. Cluss was re- quested to furnish a new pian diminishing and equalizing the width of the aisles in order to Ei e cach Stall a greater number of square feet. ir.
