* RMERS TOLOSE 0D NARKET T “roduce Dealers Must Evac- uate by Early February, Treasury Demands. The Maryland and Virginia truck rmers who use the Farmers’ Pro- « ice Market are now confronted with loss of a central gathering place © the distribution of food stuffs as result of new demands made on the istrict Commissioners today by the * reasury Department for complete ‘acuation of the present market site 10 latter part of January or early 1 “bruary. Originally it was planned to dis ntle the sheds on only one-half of market site the latter part of this nth and allow the farmers to use other half until a new location is vovided for the market. The Treas- 1 "y Department, however, advised the “*ommissioners that when work is : arted on the new Internal Revenie ‘uilding, it would be undertaken ' n ‘he entire site including square 350, n1st recently acquired, instead of only «n one portion of the ground in the interest of economy, and that it want- 1 possession of the entire market site e latter part of January or early in Jebruary. Face Loss of Market. The Commissioners have not yet se Incted a site for the mnew ket, although this matter is en serious consideration, an cations are that after a lo recommended to Congress it may several months or longer to get a propriation for purchasing the pre - iv. In the meantime the farmers will he without a market unless the Com- missioners can arrange temporary quarters for them, The suggestion was made to the Commissioners some time ago that ‘he truck farmers be located tem- porarily along the sidewalk on the south side of B street between Ninth ind_Tenth streets opposite the Cen- ter Market. In view of the Treasury Department’s latest notice, considera- tion will be given this proposal. The request of the Treasury Department for the possession of the entire mar- ket site was contained in a letter from | Carl T. Schuneman, Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury. Fconomy Favors Move. The letter read in part: “References are made to your letter, October 8, regarding the vacation by the District of Columbia of the Farmers’ Market site, between B, Little B, Tenth and Twelfth streets northwest, and particularly to the statement that the westerly half of the site can be placed at the disposi- tion of the Treasury Department by the middle or latter part of December. “The probabilities now are that it will not be necessary to vacate the west half of the site before January or February; but in this eonnection it is desired to invite your attention to certain changed conditions following ?E ?é Artists’ Supplies SN THAT PARCHMENT LAMP SHADES Make inexpensive yet attrac- tive and welcome Christmas gifts.

This will permit construction work on the new In- ternal Revenue Building to proceed on that square as well as on the one im- mediately adjoining the west half of the Farmers’ Market site, and if all the market sheds can be removed at one time, will render unnecessary the construction of buildings in sections, with the attendant increase in cost and delay in time of completion.” BOY RIDING PONY S STRUCK BY AUTD Police Car Turns Over inj Early-Morning Chase; Street Car Hits Woman.
