THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MARCH, 1887.

TEMPORARY CENTRAL MARKET.-The Surveyor General laid upon the table the following Report of the Public Works Committee on this question:-

REPORT.

The Public Works Committee have had under consideration the question as to the best provision to be made for stall accommodation pending the construction of the proposed new Central Market, and they recommend that the Southern or Queen's Road half of the present old structure be used as a temporary Market pending the erection of the Northern half of the proposed new buildings, and that upon that section of the new buildings being completed, the stall-holders be moved into it until the new Market is finished in its entirety when fresh arrangements may be made for the distribution of stall space

The acquisition of the necessary site having been completed only quite recently, and there having been until now some uncertainty as to the area that would be available for temporary Market purposes, the Committee have not been in a position to submit their recommendation earlier.
