In scanning the Zurich Citizens News we note, that the
Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce are presently
studying the possibility of, operating an outdoor street
market for the summer months. Officials feel that an

Merchandise restrictions would rule that only locally
grown or produced products would be for sale. If the plan
should go through, the market would' probably operate for
a half or full day each week depending on the customer reac-
tion.
