OF STEERING COMMITTEE FA VORS PLANS FOR MARKET Conscensus Of Opinion Is That Publicly- Owned House Is Economic Need In Warren; To Work With Council Family Stufi By Fontaine Fox At a meetInK of the commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce, held ftt the home of Emory C.

-iH The secretary submitted an enlarged plot of the foot of Market street show Jng Its present roadway to be 14,850 square feet and another plot ell minating the parkway reservations on each Hide from Pennsylvania avenue, to the race and adding them to the roadway area by settinK the curbs back to the sidewalk. This would increase this part of the street to 23,200 square feet and then by setting aside the i40 feet to accommodate the Market House, there would result a net gain of $,850 square feet which would In crease the parking facilities so much needed by room for about bO cars. In offering this plnn Mr. Cook that In any plans Involving the use of nny of the city streets It Is essentlnl that every inch of parking room should conserved and if possible, augmented Warren has only two methods by which to meet the demands of the future, either by widening streets which would be enormously expensive, or by uncriflclng parkways along streets by curbs back to the sidewalk tine. This would be undesirable on such spaces as support shade trees and add beauty to streets but he said in that the lower end of Market street this could be done without sacrificing anything of beauty or utility and therefore should be done whether or not a market house is built on the proposed site.

This plan met the general approval of the committee. The secretary said that of the multitude of people ho had Interviewed on the subject of a market house he haa the first man or woman yet to meet Is opposed to the city supplying this need. Aside from the objections raised by abutting property owners and a very few who fear a loss of space for parking cars, everybody agreed he said that the Chamber of Commerce had selected the most convenient, tho lea.it expensive and the most practical site In Warren for a market house. There no division of opinion on the part the committee as to the practicability of the plans submitted from the standpoint of public conver- ience, desirability and economy. On the subject of its bearing on the values of real estate In that vicinity, all but one member of the committee were of the opinion that ft would greatly develop that section, bring business to it and immensely add to property values all along the line; that it gave no Interference to resident properties and that the section could only hope to be improved through business advancement.

The committee agreed that the only basis of objection that could Possibly be raised in opposition to tho site is whether or not counefi hns the legal right to vacate a part of the street for tho use of a market house. A committee was appointed to investigate report prior to bringing the matter before council. The concensus of opinion of the committee Was that a publicly owrned mar ket house Is an economic need of War ren both from a social and trade standpoint and that a tnajority of the people demanded It, and that the planp that had been worked out by the Chamber of Commerco would supply thfci need practically without cost to the taxpayers. It was held that it had brought to a head a long discussed subject and presented It In a practical way and that immdiate steps should be taken by the city authorities to either accept this plan and proceed to build or to procuro a site either by purchase or condemn at Urn and construct a market at public expense In this vicinity. It was agreed that tho Chamber should lend Its aid to the council by suggesting practical locations suitable for market purposes and in every way continuo to cooperate in (he enterprise, though the committee believes that council, in view of the emphatic wishes of the people, should accept the plans offered and construct tho market house at the lower end of Market street, thus serving the convenience of housekeep ers and giving them a decent sanitary and economic place to supply their needs.
