JUNEAU PUBLIC MARKET
TO START THIS SUMMER
Juneau will have a public market
for out-of-town farmers this summer
it was decided at the regular meet
ing of the City Council recently
The bunlding for the market will be
erected on the %’acant lot at the
corner of Fourth and Main Streets,
across from City Hall. The building
will be 40 feet long and 10 feet
1 deep, and will be erected within a
1 short time. Should the market not
prove successful, the building will
be used to house city automobile- 1
and other equipment of the street
department. -
Farmers in this vicinity have been
attempting for some time to estab
lish a public market in Juneau, sayr
the Empire, and the city building
to be erected for the purpose will
provide for their business opera
tions. There are a number of farmers
in the close vicinity on the main
land and islands, and at Eagle River,
who produce a large enough scale
to warrant a good sized market
See Mel Cooney for postcard- of
the breakup.
