of repairing the same will be collected by the Market Master. All
stall holders shall keep their stalls in a clean and sanitary condition
and, at the cost of the market, deposit all refuse in cans provided
by the market for that purpose. Renters of butcher stalls must comply
with the laws regulating the sale of fresh meats. All aisles are to

will be allowed to stand in said aisles. The Council, through the
Market House Committee, reserves the right without further notice
to repossess any stall in case the lessee thereof fails to comply
with the foregoing rules and regulations.

at any time, to act as Market Master. Said Market Master shall supervise
the market, keep it clean and in good order, shall open the Market
House on market days and see that proper order is maintained and that
the rules pertaining to the government of the market are carried out.
He shall remain in attendance until the close of the market, shall
act as janitor of the Market House Building, shall have the sidewalks
swept dally and remove all snow therefrom and shall attend to the
heating plant and see that the same is kept and maintained in proper
condition. He shall assign stalls to transient vendors, collect all
rentals from stall holders, issue a receipt in triplicate and turn
the money over to the Borough Secretary weekly.
There shall be no selling of any article offered for sale before
the appointed hour of opening the market.
