Fruit Market Site
Sir, —The statement of the four marketing companies shows that they fully realise that the residents affected and the area in general are against their proposal. Their whole statement seems made with a consciousness of a weak case. They say there will be no extra danger, no rats or any unpleasantness, no smell, no noise, and no devaluation of adjacent properties. Motor-trucks will fly in the air and vanish as directed. Their arguments are only verbosity and extravagance. There is no need to bring the whole world into it. They say Athletic Park must be. the site because it is “desirable.” Is this a reason? However, the best reason for not using Athletic Park is that there are 100 better alternatives— Fendalton, for instance, or Humphreys drive.—Yours, etc., BROWN ROT. July 2, 1957.
