UBLIC SER Gentlemen of the Council, Better Go Slow About Moving Seattle’s Market 'T IS REPORTED that an attempt will be made Monday to put a bill thru the council moving e public market from its present well known lo- cation at Pike Place to a new spot, somewhere in the Westlake district. No good can come of that — and possibly much harm. There are many businesses located in the vicin- ity of the present public market, many _ invest- ments made there on account of it, that are now be compelled to suffer losses and ruptcy simply be wm real estate yon Beng in another The city’s threatened with ruin. Should these possible bank- interests would seem far better served if the public market is continued in the district it now occupies. A feasible plan is before the council now to re- lieve the district of its present congestion—a plan which would not only safeguard investments al- ready made, but would also furnish adequate fa- cilities for the market itself and for proper thoro- fares. This is the safe, sane, sensible and economical plan to follow. The other is to cater to specu- lators. This is no time to bring on a business upheaval such as the removal of the market is bound to cause. The public will be better served in the dis- trict it has known as a public market for nearly a score of years, and the city, as a whole, will be better served. Vote accordingly, gentlemen of the council! ———————————————— es ___y] ! | | REARRESTED Toroyoshi Abe. the Japanese, who, with George Budwick, white man, escaped from the United States im migration station early Friday morn- ing, was picked up in Columbia City ghortly after midnight, Saturday, by Patroimen C.
