MondaySeptember 1 ,2008 TroyRecord Article 100years agoTuesdaySeptember 1 ,1908 “ William Beam has been using the public market to sell a large quantity of sweet corn belonging to a friend. Members of the city’s Market Gardener Association, which administers the market, have demanded Beam pay 75c a day to use the market stall.At a meeting this morning, it was agreed that the market superintendent,Dillon, should collect the daily fee from non members when Association officers aren't on the premises. Dillon in turn delegates collections to Officer Mulholland of the police when Dillon has to bring in cows that have strayed off pasture. Beam insists that neither Dillon or Mulholland have the right to collect fees for the Association and makes that point heatedly at City Hall. Mayor Mann agrees to investigate . Public Works Commissioner Shields says if the officer collected any fees he was wrong to do so.Mulhollands superior Captain Rohn, agrees but states under the circumstances he probably did what he thought he was called upon to do. Politics have possibly something to do with this since Beam is reportedly running for Dillon's position as market superintendent.” Photo of the day Troy Record Sunday September 1, 2008 1956 photo of Anna Hasslinger with baby Paul Hasslinger **************One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail.
