A GOOD WORK BEGUN That Was First Suggested by "The Sun."
The Board of Works on Monday asked the controller to propose a 4200 appropriation to improve space near the meat market. Six brick driveways will run east to west with cement between them to create a market area. Hucksters and wagons would use the brick portions while passageways remain. The space aims to reduce sidewalk sellers around court house square, though some may still use Market and Alabama streets. Washington and Delaware streets would be kept clear. The new space may not fit all current sidewalk marketers.
