A
cattle market will always be productive of some aimoyance and
inconvenience to the public, wherever it msy be placed. Measures
for
the mitigatim of these evils can be best and most efficiently ap-
plied to a market in a central position. No aerial advantage has
been yet shown as likely to result tom the removal of Smithfield-
talarket to a suburban site. Any such removal must ruinously affect
the interests of the owners and occupiers of property in the vicinity
of the central market.
Such retnoval would also have the effect of diverting a tra le in-
rolving returns of more than 7.000,0001. ainually from the City,
deprivingst.ti oaythe citizens of the benefit conferred by the large and con-
by thoasands now frequenting their market
It is under a conviction of the imp d•tarice of these considerations
that the City of London Central Markets Association appeals to all
Parties interested in a just and beneficial solution of this impor, ant
9uestion to aid them in their efforts in favour of an unitrejadiced and
impartial consideration of the question.
