eating permanent market buildings. In a number of cities and 

 towns markets had been provided which were not strictly- 

 municipal or town propositions. Some of these were started 

 under the auspices of chambers of commerce, others of local 

 public safety or food production committees. Fifteen of the 

 smaller towns of less than 10,000 in population have estab- 

 lished community markets, but these are not treated of in 

 detail in this circular. A list of these towns, secured through 

 the courtesy of the Massachusetts Food Administration, is as 

 follows : — 



Barnstable. 



Cohasset. 



Duxbury. 



Franklin. 



Kingston. 



Ludlow. 



Medfield. 



Millis. 



North Attleborough. 



Plympton. 



Rockland. 



Stockbridge. 



Stoughton. 



Uxbridge. 



Walpole. 



It might be mentioned here that one of the reasons for the 

 success of the Quincy Market was the fact that it was on a 

 well-traveled automobile road. Some of the smaller towns 

 might well imitate this example and have a successful market 

 by appealing to the transient automobile trade where the 

 permanent population would not otherwise justif}' such a 

 market. 



Cities and Towns not operating Public Markets. 



The following 23 cities and towns have designated market 

 sites, and these have been approved by the Board of Agri- 

 culture, but have not been utilized up to the present time : —
