it is about 150 ft. south of the veget- able market. It has an area of 300 ft. x 180 ft.

With the exception of a strip of land 300 ft. long and 15 ft. wide along the sea front, the whole of the fish market is covered with multiple spans of shell roof and a tower block for the administration in the centre. The dimension of the shell roof varies slightly from that the vegetable market and a comparison is given below.

founded on Franki Piles (total num- ber of piles used in this case was 119). To caler for the ocean going trawlers two jetties measuring 80 ft. x 25 ft. wide will be built in front of the fish market.

COST:

The cost of the Fish Market excluding two jetties amounts to $1,573,000. This gives a unit rate of $1.51 per cubic foot, or $25.00 per sq.ft. of covered floor area,

The cost of the two jetties will be about $400,000 or about $100 per sq.ft. of the jetty.

To save the cost of the shuttering work, the radius of the shell roof has been kept constant, consequently the used steel shuttering from the veget able market can be reused on the fish market after some minor adjust- ment.
