"what with outside shops and inside stalls, the proper area of the eastern market place has been so curtailed that carts cannot be allowed to occupy stands therein. in designing it, the idea was that they would enter, deposit their loads, and then pass out. market gardeners, however, refused to fall in with this arrangement. they dislike unpacking articles which may be sold for delivery elsewhere, and they refuse to recognise the reasonableness of asking them to employ men and boys to take their carts and horses into the open streets, there to stand exposed to wind, rain, and the elements generally, until business is over. we venture to think that if the corporation is intent on restoring the eastern market site to popularity, it will have to abolish a large number of the interior stalls, and make what provision it can for carts and those who wish to sell from them."
