Petition from Farmers Market Committee.
I id gZnication, or petition was then read as follows, to -wit:
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL:
According to the provisions of the Ordinance authorizing the establishing of
j the Farmers Market a fee of twenty-five (25) cent was to be collected from each far
mer who used the stalls.
To date no fees have been collected. We urge that provisions be made for col
j' lecting these fees, and that said fees be put in a fund for reimbursing those who
financed the building of the stalls. The funds accumulating after the payment of
the original cost of building could be used for eauipment or expansion.
F cost of the present building was fifty-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents.
The
This was cost financed equally be E. M. Broom, P. T. Shinozaki, J. Iseri, and J. J. Gay.
Farmers Market Committee.
4' City Attorney Scott advised the Council that the City had nothing to do with
1 the operation of the said Market and it was moved by Councilman Gerson, seconded
by Councilman Chapelle, that the communication be laid on the table. After a short
;r discussion, the motion was withdrawn.
