To the Editor of the *"Nomrm-CHINA Dany News"
Sm.—As you are doubtless aware there is a very busy and popular market in Seymour Road. It supplies the needs of Chinese and foreign residents in the Bubbling Well area, It was thought by everyone that this was a Municipal Market, but now, according to general rumour and also articles in in ers we hear that it is privately-owned.
I cannot hear of any provision being made for a substitute market and until something is arranged in this respect the SMC. should refuse to allow any change in present conditions. It is a shame that the thousands of people who throng this plage. every day should bè deprived of this amenity.
Will the Municipal Council issue immediately' a statement on the position stating what steps they have taken to provide an alternative site? It is inconceivable that nothing has Sch been arranged.
