URECO'S MOST MODERN MARKET OPENS
The Urban Council's most modern market to date, and the first ·
of its kind built in a densely populated public housing district, opens
for business in Wong Tai Sin this week...
The $4-million building provides all the facilities necessary.
for the hygienic and orderly conduct of trade,
These include properly equipped meat and fish stalls, with
scalding roons for poultry, compartments with large tiled basins for
washing vegetables and fruit, ice stores, refuse rooms with disposal
chutes which keep rubbish out of sight, good lifts, storerooms, and
other such facilities which the hawkers, who will trade in the market,
did not have previously.
Most of the stallholders will be hawkers who used to trade on
the site where the market now stands. They were moved to a nearby tem-
porary site two years ago for construction work to take place.
The darket, which will cater mainly for people living in the
large resettlement complex comprising Wong Tai Sin, Wang Tau Hom and
Tung Tau, and the neighbouring industrial area of San Po Kong, contains
more than 340 stalls.
