DIRECTOR levy FAVORs
FIRST MARKET CHANGES
VIII Propose Rcmodelling Structure
to Finance Committee at
Session Monday.
HAS RECOMMENDATIONS READY
Declares Facilities and Management
OF Places Supplying Food made
qunte-Plans Refrigcrating and
Cold Storage Rooms.

SS,fWhen Mayor Ainslie presents his
& plans for a bond issue approNima ting
100000 to the City Councils Finance
Committee Monday nigh, one propo-
Sftion that will be heard is that for
1remodeiing the First Market. on Main
y Street While the market proposition
rs not as large an item financially as
some OF the others that will be con-
sidered ii is, in the opinion OF Major
L. c. Levy, Director Of Public We'll
fare, one Of the most important. Dis
cussing it yesterday MAJOR Levy said:
There is crying need for improved
market facilities and management in
Richmond. 1t almost seems that we
have forgotten that the prime purpose
or city markets is 10 benefit the peo-
pie by furnishing an abundance of
healthful food At low prices.
Has Studied Problem.
I'm company with United States gov
eminent market experts 1 have made
ottlonS here and am prepared TO pre-
sent my recommendations Our mar
ket buildings are by no means what
they should be, but, owing TO the con-
dition of city finances we can do lit
tte now except 10 tackle the First Mar
ket. Space there is alre .dy, limited,
be. cold storage facilities
IN order to solve this problem plans
nave peen drawn Tor the connecting
of the meat and veEe taole markets by
an arch over Frankli. Street. In this
arch. or second story .ructure. would
be placed refrigerati' machinery and
cold storage room: Elevators from
the two main divis. IS of the market
would run 10 these rooms. 1t is also
planned to have a fish and poultry
market in the south end Of the vege-
table market. but separated SO that
offensive odors would not enter the
latter place"
Notes Rent Inequality.
Director Levy declares ;hat market
management must be SO altered that
the people reap some material benefits
from the low prices charged for stalls.
he says that one man rents two stalls
in the Second Market for Il total OF
$40 month, while a man across the
street paws $500 a month for his meat
shop. And yet. says Major Levy, both
charge the same price for meat.
Major Levy wants also TO inauEurate
a central delivery system at the mar
kcts. and believes that this will save
the consumers money. lie says that
one purchaser may buy from as many
as five stalls, thus cntailing many de-
liveries, while under a central deliv-
cry system all these purchases could
be delivered nj one time.
Another plan of the director is TO
have meat that is on sale placed in
glass cases under which run refrig-
Grating coils
