OPEN MARKETS.
I I notice that several ladies have been active in supporting the idea of an open market with the object of aecuring inferior grade fruit at cheap prices- | What with the Department of Agriculture regulations and our City Council and health" regulations, the scheme is doomed to failure, even if the council spent a lot of money in erecting the market. Fruitgrowers could not afford to come to town and spend their time in selling their second-grade fruit and the Government would have to relax regulations against the commercial growers who sell through the regular channels and could not make an exception in favour of one class. What wc do need in Auckland is an open fish market on the waterfront where the fishermen could sell their fish direct to the public of Auckland, and do away with this Government control and prire fixation. CHEAPER FISH.
