LONDON’S MARKETS.
COVENT GARDEN OBSOLETE. SMITHFIELD ADEQUATE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 14, 7.55 p.m. London, June 13. The departmental committee’s fourth report on London’s wholesale food markets states that the buildings in Covent Garden are obsolete and inconvenient, and greatly add to the cost of handling, delay in delivery and despatch of fruit. The report emphasises the necessity of extending the market by securing neighboring buildings, and draws attention to endeavors on the part of the owners to dispose of the market. The report strongly recommends that Covent Garden be placed und£r the public authority to ensure development in the interests of trade and the consumer. The report states that the Smithfield market is adequate for present requirements, with provision for any extension which can be foreseen. It declares the suggestion to restrict the period in which meat is allowed to remain in cold storage needs careful investigation from the economic and scientific standpoints before adoption.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
