MUNICIPAL MARK ETS
DO NOT MAKE Hit
Report to New York Governor
Says Consumer Is Not
Benefited

New York. Aug. 13.-Municpal markets
maintained by Il upstate cities are in
adequate and, with the exception of Buff
falo, there is no proof that the consumer
benefits through their operation, said a
report to Governor Smith by the New
York State reconstruction commission
made public here to-day.
This report. in which were recon-
mended measures intended to make the
municipal markets effective, was the re-
suit of an investigation made by the
commission in which "A questionable was
sent to all cities Of more than 15O0O
population, asking details of the opera
ton of the public markets.
P:ICES ARE NOT LOWER
Sixty per cent. of the answers, said
the report, indicated there was no ap-
preciablc difference between the prices
in the municipal markets and those in
the retail stores Of the city.
From this might he deduced," con-
tinued the report, that virtually the
only bcneficiares of the municipal mar
kets are the farmers. hucksters and mar
ket retailers who do not pay any of the
burden which the city incurs in main
tanning such markets"
MUNICIPAL MARKET DATA
OF the public markets 50 per cent, of
the reporting cities have self-sustainng
markets, says the report. while Al per
cent. of them are not self-sustaining.
OF the self-susaining markets the an
nual profits were reported as ranging
from s34.75 from Elmira to S12 4o3.93 for
Rochester.
OF four markets in Buffalo, said the
report, one is not sef-sustaining, but
the city reported an annual income of
$97,O with an annual expense of s60oO0,
However, says the report, the markets
are reported to have cost the city of
Buffalo $1,000, coo and therefore If oper-
ated by private corporation obliged
to pay taxes and interest on investment
would show loss
SOME SUGGESTIONS MADE
Summarized the commissions recon-
mendations to Governor Smith were: .
That elaborate public market buildings
be erected only when it is the purpose
to operate them on "A strictly self-sus-
tanning business efficiency basis.
That smaller cities establish inexpen-
sive curb or open-type markets.
That the State give aid to the build
ing of public markets in municipalities
only on condition that the State depart
ment OF farms and markets have a sutii-
cient measure of control over the
methods of operation.
That the State department of farms
and markets work out standard account
, ing methods and schedules of costs.
That the state department Of farms
/ and markets make an intensive study of
| the existing municipal markets in the
State with the object of reconstructing
them along economical lines
