MUNICIPAL FISH MARKETS
VIEWS OF THE GOA*ERNAIENT
[Press Association.]
AYELLINGTON, Oct. 17
In reference t 0 the Christchurch telegram concerning fish markets, the Department’s Secretary (.Air Allport) states that letters have been sent at the direction of the Minister (the Hon. J. A. Alillar) to Auckland, AYcllington. and Dunedin, as well as Chrisfchurcb. ; ‘For some time past.” he said, “we have bid a considerable number of complaints from fishermen who are rather'out of the way of the markets. They send their fish in, and get practically nothing for it. The fish goes into the bands of private dealers, who give what they like. The matter was considered by the Department. and it was agreed that the*best remedy for the difficulty would be the establishment of public markets, which the municipalities have power to set uj) under the Alunicipal Corporations Act. iSnch a market exists in Sydney. and it lias been a great success from the- point of view of the fishermen and the general public alike. Tt suits both and benefits both. It is believed that what is done in Sydney can be done here. There is no reason why that example 'should not be followed.”
