THE CITY MARKET The city the past five months has been run at a monthly ratepayers of $875, been put basis, a has now upon a commission charge of 7 1-2 per cent. shippers on all goods sold being the only money earned by the clerk. In order that the market may have every chance to keep on hand a full supply of all lines of produce, the bylaw permits the receipt of goods for sale from the provinces of Alberta, Satkatchewan and RPritish Co- lumbia. While one of the chief aims of the market is to en- courage the local producer to sell produce here, it is feit that by giving this wide area for the receipt of shipments, the con- sumer will have aw ider variety and a better and more regular supply of produce. The bylaw calls for a $2,000 bond from the clerk and also} that the whole business shall be under the close supervision of the city treasurer and the commission to market, which for loss to the basis, it failed through management, Under the salary | plan, it failed financially be- cause it could not carry th: of a salaried official. It is sincerely hoped that, on ‘the commission basis and with an extended field from which t draw supplies, it will at leas! prove a live concern.
