Present Deplorable Conditions.

Necessarily, improvements will have
to be made in the present deplorable and
insanitary conditions. and it has been
recommended that a committee be ap-
pointed by the Commissioners, to consist
of the chairman of the wharf committee
the health officer, the municipal architect
and the superintendent of weights and
measures. to prepare plans and estimates
for a model fish market and wharf, to be
erected in the place of the present ram.

the report states.
The amount of revenue which 1t is
confidently expected can be obtain ed
through the operation OF this market
under municipal control will amply
justify the improvements proposed. On
this space are three wharves. which can
also be used as public wharyes, where
those shippers who have no wharfage
facilities may land cargoes and pay
wharfage and dockage fees.
