LONDON FOOD MARKET
COVENT GARDEN BUILDINGS OBSOLETE SMITHFIELD ADEQUATE FOR PRESENT REQUIREMENTS By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Rec. Juno 11, 7.55 p.m.) London, June 13. The Departmental Committee’s fourth report on London’s wholesale food markets slates that the buildings at Covent Garden are obsolete and inconvenient, add greatly to the cost of handling, and cause delay in delivery and dispatch. The fruit report emphasises the necessity of extending the market by securing neighbouring buildings, and draws attention to endeavours on the part of owners to dispose of the market. The report strongly recommends it to be placed under public authority to ensure development in the interests of trade and the consumer. The report states that Smithfield market is adequate for present requirements, with provision for any extension which can bo foreseen. It declares that the suggestion to restrict the period in which meat may bo allowed to remain in cold storage needs careful investigation from economic and scientific standpoints before adoption.—Aus.-N.Z.
