Brown said: i fl;y act of Congresa, approved) Feb- ruary 12, 1901, a number of streets in the southwest section of the. city were vacated and to pub- le use for terminus purposes in ac- cordance with a comprehensive pian approved by Congress. The vacation of these streets created a designated area intended to be a frelght ware. house district of Washington, bound. ed on the south by Water street, on the north by Maryland avenue, on the east by Twelfth street and on the west by Fourteenth street. ‘The immediate terminal area now available contains over eight acri which is ample to provide required warehouses and raliroad sidings for the large distributors of perishable treight who require trackage connec- tion. In addition, there is available at reasonable price for the occupancy of dealers in perishable food products who do not ship in largs volume the squares in the territory fronting on Tater street east from Twelfth street to Seventh street and extending back | a8 far as the railroad lines'on Mary- land avenue, if necessary.” Memorandum.

The same deaters who come dally to the Municipel fish wharf for their pply of sea food purchase green egetables and dairy praducts which ire brought to the farmers line from he nearby coifnties of Maryland and Virginia.

The ample striph of land on ihe south side of Water' street, be- tween Fourieenth street and the Muni- clpal Fish Market would present an 1deal location for this farmers' imarket. Such location would be readily acces. sible to the public, clasely co-ordi nated with all the ofher market ‘unctlons, and easily reached by all he farmers from the trucking sec- lons of nearby Marylamd and Vir- ginia. “It may be said in conclusion that he economic advantages of the water ront as & market center are so over- whelming that in all human probabil- ity the colony of dealers inyperishables who locate at the Water street ter. minal would soon demoralize any simi- lar wholesale market that may be projected In_the northeast.section of Washington.” PARTY TO STUDY U.
