FIFTH BAL BOHEME PUBLIC IS FICKLE, Northeast ‘Washington, Columbia Heights, Brightwood Park, Congress Heights and Chillum Helghts. “The location of our site” continued - SITE IS HELD BEST TCitizens' Association Head | Says Majority Favor Fifth and K Streets. cking the Southwest area as a! site for the Farmers’ Market, which h: been recommended by a subcommittce of the House District committee, A. J Driscoll, president of the Mideity Citi zens’ Association, last night declared that 80 per cent of the citizens' asso- ciations in the District have indorsed the midcity site and if Congress and the Commissioners do not give con- sideration 1o these expressions, the associations “might as well go out of business.” Listing numerous objections to the jarca in Southwest between ‘Tenth and venth and E and G streets as a suit- | able site for the market, Mr. Driscoll emphasized is was “in an obscure part of Washington in which only 18 per cent of the total population of the District lves.” Points to Centers of Population. The buying public lives in the North- west and Northeast sections, the mid- city advocate said. “and a large ma- Jority of the stores patron.ing the inrmers’ market are in the Northwest tion. ™ In order to reach this Southwest farmers’ market.” he continued. “one would have to go through the congested section of the city. The cost of putting this site Into A usable condition. accord- g to the Commissioners, would be $110.000. as the ground siopes down to the water front. Farmers, 98 per cent of them. have stated to me that they ibsolutely would not go down there: that the selection of that site would mean the ruination of the farmers business and would destroy competition in their line of products “1 am in favor of any site north of the Avenue, but the mideity site first If it is found unsuitable and cannot be accepted, then I am in favor of the Eckington location “The question of trackuge and storage has been worked to death farmer sells truck to the consumer, and what he has not disposed of goes to the commission men and chain stores Ratlronds and boats should %ot enter into the question of a site. Urges Voice for People. “The farmers’ market should be placed where the people will go. You cannot force the people to go out of their way to buy The people of Washington should have some attention paid to their wishes, as in the long run they will | pay the bill. We hear criticlsms in ongress that the people of Washing- !ton don’t know what they want. The only way to find out what the people think is through the various citizens associations.” In uiging the midcity site as future home of the farmers Mr_ Driscoll said We feel that markets should be located as near the center of popula- tion ap posible. with ample street car {and parking facilities Such a loca- 1 is the site at Fifth and K streets Here we have a section of the city Final Plans Completed for Annual Event—Gorgeous Pageant Is Feature.

What we aim o do is to bring the market to the people We feel that our arguments would not be complete until some reference Mr. Driscoll, “regarding all steam rail- roads entering Washington 1s decidedly | convenient. Only six blocks from | | Unlon Station, the Eckington freight | yards, where much of our perlshables | arrive by freight and express, is like- wise about the same distance away.

George C. Havenner (and George W.

Because there are only four north-and-south highways running through the Mall that would be con- venient to Southwest sites Nos. 1 and 2 viz.. Sixth. Seventh, Twelfth and Four- teenth streets. "5 Because it Is impossible to ex- tend either Eighth, Ninth Tenth, Eleventh or Thirteenth streets through the Mall on account of existing public buildings or projected ones “6. Because the Federal building program for the Mall triangle will un- doubtedly necessitate the changing ol | existing car tracks and the rerouting of all street car lines, traversing this area “7 Because four-fifths of the cntire population of the District of Columbia live north of Pennsylvania avenue. “8. Because more than nine-tenths of the hotels and boarding houses, more than four-fifths of the restaurants and lunchrooms and more than three- fourths of the retail grocery stores are located north of Pennsylvania avenue. Growth to Be North. “9. Because the future expansion of the city—in population and in the num- ber of hotels and boarding houses restaurants and lunchrooms and retail grocery stores—will, in a large measure. | be north of Pennsylvania avenue. “10. Because at least 20 per cent of the business of the Farmers' Produce Market is a retall business, which. in a large measure. would be lost to the farmers if the market is located in Southwest Washington. This retail busi- !ness amounts to more than $600.000 1 per year, “11.

This is the Impression given at the | District Building yesterday following the recelpt by the Commissioners of a letter from Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, direc- tor of public butldings and public parks of the Capital, announcing that he has no objection to the Commissioners using a “reasonable area” along the northern part of the Mall, between Seventh and Ninth streets. for park- ing of automobiles belonging to per-| sons doing busincss in the market area The problem of locating the market | this Summer, in view of the apparent collapse of the proposal of the Com- missioners to erect temporary sheds along the Mall. has been puzzling Dis- trict officials for several weeks. Col ern part of the Mall between Seventh and Ninth streets for automobile park- siderable cxtent, it was said, althouzh permission was not granted for erec- | tion of sheds. | “While 1 believe that any such use | of park land. which deprives the pub- lic of the use for which the land was | obtained, and puts it to purely utilitarian | use, incongruous with its surroundings is_inadvisable and should not be per-| mitted.” Col. Grant wrote. “an under- | standing of the difficulties which your board is trying to overcome in regard to the location of the market and an appreciation of the necessity for finding some location in the general vicinity, as well as the fact that this location must_be temporary.
