OF TEIE COMMITTEE

The -minutes of the proceedings of the committee
having been read,

Mr. WOODRUFF said, that before the. proceedings
were signed; he wished to call attention to a subject of
very considerable importance. It Was Well known that
for some time past
.great inconvenience had. -been,ex,
periencedi in, consequence of the want of .accOinmeda-
tioru for. the sale of wholesale protium:lit the Markets.
The neighbourhood of St. John's Market, Great Charlotte=
street and.Quee&equare, had been so much over=crowded
as to have.become dangerous:tolife, wellas .a seriouit
inconvenience to farmers and others. . He thought the
time had now arrived when something- must at -once be
done for the public demanded. greater facilities fOr the
wholesale traffic', and the farmers required, at the. -
hands,
of the committee, a larger space than had hitherto been
allotted them. The committee believed that the plans
now submitted could, to a considerabl'exterrt, be carried
out, at what they believed to be a, moderate' price.. The
farmers would be satisfied' with the adoption of these
plans, and he had no dOnliethat the 'pnblic would also
approve of them. Ile suggested that, iitherepert whiCh
had been read were published in the- newspapers, it
would setisfy 'the public that • a great' iinprorrement
was_nor about to, be carried out,

Mr. RIDLEY was also of opinion that i(the plain; now
proposedlcould be carried Out, it' would' bera.very great
advantap to the public at large. .
The follbwing Is the report alluded to : It' appeared,
from theproceeding'S that at a special meetlno of the
committee; held on Friday last, it was resolved to suEtnit
a report eirthe subject of a wholesale market ft, the next
council. The report, which is ar lengthy dbctimmt,.
states that the time has arrived wicen 'it ,is necessary tir
provide arr offcient remedy for the.evils complidied ef;
both as regards- the obstruetion to ffie thorouglifire,sand
the better accommodation for produce: r It thenvays.:----
" Your committee have considered 'the sev6rat site
which have- -Been selected for 'a Wholesale- market
of the d'eseription required, and' they are of
opinion that the convenience of tile public, and. of
the producers-' and' the interests ' 'the- corporation,
would be best:. consulted by enlarging:the spuee'now'
occupied for this purpose in the immediate neighlirttr
hood of St. Jelin'h Market

"They therefore reconnytend that application bumade
to parliament, in the next session, fcr- a bill to enable
the corporation-to acquire the pitpertjr: between Qtreen-
square and Williamson-square ; and to devote that
property to the-purposes of a wholesale market forlqu-
duce brought- hylarrners, and Market gardeners, and in-
tended for human food. The whole area available, 'for
the purpose, including a proportion of the two squares,
and after 'allowing for the improvement of the surround-'
ing street,, would be about 9,000 square yards, being- an
increase over the present accommoclatiOn, including
Gieat Charlotte-street, of nearly 7,000 squm-e yards.
" Your committee' have' received from the surveyor
estimates of the cost of purchasing the' property, and
forming 'the. market; market, Which amount • to £41,000,'
exclusive pf street improvements, and as there is :now a
surplus revenue from all
.the marketS of about £8,900,
there is ample security for the money fo-he borrovied,
without taking into account the increased ievenue which
would immediately accrue from the faCilities whiff h
would be obtained for-proper collection of/the tolls.
" Your .Committee also recommend that this °ppm,i
tunity should lie waged of to repeal or amend the pre-
sent Markets' Act, passed in 1819, and to- insert in the
new bill all s-ach provisions as may be necessary for the
efficient regulation and management of air the marketsl.'
