THE NEW METROPOLITAN CATTLE-MARKET.

Mr. H. L. TAYLOR (the chairman of the Markets Im-
provement Committee) brought up the followingreport:—
" We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, of your
Markets Improvement Committee, to whom it hrs been
referred to carry into execution the act of the 14th and
15th Vic., cap. 61, for establishing a new metropolitan
cattle-market, and also eur reports from time to time pre-
sented with plans and estimates of works, and for raising
the necessary funds, do certify that we have proceeded
therein, and having made the necessary arrangements for
the due performance of the laborious and extensive under-
taking which this corporation has engaged to effect, we
have carefully watched the progress of the works in course
of execution, under the more immediate superintendence
and direction of the city architect.
" It will be obvious that in an affair of such magnitude
as the formation of a cattle-market for the supply of this
vast metropolis, with the necessary conveniences in connec-
tion with it, many unforseen circumstances would probably
arise in the progress of the undertaking which would sug-
gest extension of the original design, both for increasing
the accommodation and for securing future revenue. The
chief obstacle with which your committee have had to
contend has been the almost unprecedented rise in the
price of both labour and materials since the commencement.
