Especially is this true in he face of he tremendously Increased cost of living as it is claimed for the municipal that it has don. much wherever established to decrease the cost of garden pro-' duce. General methods of conducting' the market is under the supervision of the city, either in open squares, under sheds or on the interior of gta.it buildings used exclusively for this purpose. Where the market is conducted in the open squares it is usually run onlv during the summer months, while in the buildings the m; fleet is open the. year around. The; are, exceedingly few eases where the municipal market lias been ' tahiished that it has been discontinued for want of support of for >ther reasons of inefficiency.

The markets are inder the control of a Chief Market if.ister and his assistants, who give heir ? ntire time to the work of su lervision. Th.se markets are patronized by' 11 classes of people, and reduce verv aterially the cost of garden truck.' tc\. t,> the consumer.
