Mayor Moore this morning told the committee of twenty-one at a confer ence in liis office that he took Issue with them tbut Philadelphia's market condi tions are worse than those of any other city. Further, he said, the request for appointment'of n market commission to make a Riirvey did not appeal to him ns practicable at this time, although he would give the question serious consid eration. The committee of twenty-one, co operating with the IJurenu of Munici pal Itesearch for city betterment, bad nsked for the conference in order that food and murket conditions might be discussed. The women were told by the Mayor that the last market com mission, which resigned nt the close of the Smith administration, was allowed to Inpse bv him, because he was not sat isfied with the results of the eomnils Xon's labors. For one thing, he said, without mentioning mimes, certain members of the commission had been Involved In the purchase and sale of foods themselves. Advocates Advance Arguments Anv Informal illscuss'on on the sub ject was hehl. Mrs. Louis C. Madeira, chairman of the committee, was the first speaker. She was followed by Mrs. Frank Miles Day, chairman of the Mon day Conference. Other speakers were Mrs. William K. Llngclbach, a member of the former market commission ; Mrs. Joseph P. Mumford nnd Miss Marv II. Ingham. The arguments advanced for the ap pointment of the commission were the insistent demand by women nil over the city for Improved nmrketing facilities for the sake of health nnd economy ; the fact that an investigation Is necessnrj before corrections can be made ; the marked success that has resulted from the execution of the recommendations ot the tristatc milk commission the foct that this problem has been ef fectively solved in many European cities ; and also that municipal markets enn be made paying propositions. Memorandum for Mayor The following memorandum was given the Major: "Women are more vitally interested in market conditions today thnn ever before and more insistent thnt the nee et.sary Improvements be made ns soon ns possible, since present conditions are a menare to health and wnstcful of both food and money. "Food expenditure Is the largest sin gle factor nffecting the income of the majority of citizens. Three-qunrtcrs of tlie lionulntlon spend -10 per cent on food ; the less the income tlie higher the iiropoition spent. "During the last five years numerous Philadelphia organizations have inde pendent!) and collectively given serious attention to the food supply of this city. The conclusion reached by these organ izations U that a thorough survey of the inflow and distribution of the food stuffs entering the municipality Is es sential. "They are unanimous that such a survey can jleld satisfactory results only If all the factors concerned with the city's food supply be represented by membership in a body designated to make the survej . List of Divisions "These factors fall Into the follow ing divisions: Huslnrss men, wage earners, women, the food dealers, trans portation agencies, producers and the municipal administration. They all agree that the best results can be ob tained on'v through an authoritative body appointed by the Mayor. ''C-ouiioll has authorized the Mayor to appoint such a bod to study the city h food supply and have appropria ted $10,000 for this purpose. We, therefore, urge that such a commission be appointed."
