Extract from Minutes of Council Meeting of 19th January, 1926
" We report that the voluntary scheme inaugurated six
months ago is going on very satisfactorily. The reports received
about the condition of the roads show that, as far as cleanliness
is concerned the improvement—which was quite evident in the
first three months of the scheme—has been constantly maintained.
The weekly amounts collected have been keeping up somewhat
above the limit of the £32 per week estimated, with the exception
of during two or three weeks of very bad weather. The total
amount collected up to 2nd January is £791 17s., and there has
been very little trouble or friction in connection with the collection
of this sum. The objection has generally taken the form of
inability to pay or either that we could not assure the stallholders of a stand in the market. This, of course, will all be
remedied when the present Bill has been passed by Parliament.
We shall report fully on the whole matter as soon as the Bill
becomes law, as it will be necessary then to make bye-laws and
regulations."
At the time of writing (July, 1926) the total amount
collected in the Street Markets was £1,616 11s. Od. The amount
estimated for expenses was £1,664, and if we allow a loss of £30
due to the strike, we are not more than about £18 out.
The total amount of unsound food collected from the Street
Markets during 1925 was 35 tons 17 cwts and 431 van loads.
