small on man operation and deliveries were made by horse and- wagon The original location was right across from the old Town Hall on Botsford St beside Hhe Metropolitan Railway tracks The first change in location was to move to where the HiEnergy Feed Mills are now at the east end of Superior St Around Eves decided to carry feed and grain and this necessitated the move to a building on Huron St now Davis Dr that had been gutted by a fire The building which is now The carried the seed until the feed and srtd business was sold At this time con struction had started on the building that is now Eves

market building which in the middle of Square has a bene of con tention in this town since before it was Town council split right down the middle on whether or not to the first place forcing the to break the He Then petition forced a which meagre old building now in use as a courthouse and has been since with to have being new St court house is completed The fight in the first place was not whether a new building was needed or not Town council had already decided new facilities for the communitys burgeoning Saturday farmers market were required if Newmarket was to continue to grow as the areas economic hub But many could not see the wisdom of building a grandiose twostorey brick building complete with bell tower and an auditorium with a stage They thought a smaller sparser one- storey building with a few stalls for produce would suffice And it would have cost much less The larger building was estimated cost to via very Urge investment for a town of barely people lit the days when a dollar was really a dollar The auditorium the opponents wasnt necessary There were other halls available for public meetings and town council could continue to meet where it was Mayor William Cane one of the towns leading industrialists as well as chief magistrate thought otherwise however We must grow and invest to prosper he argued before a meeting of the towns freeholders called to discuss the project Contractor Walter Page who had just completed con struction of the County Industrial Home old York Manor on St submitted the lowest tender The ft by ft building was to be constructed oh a stone basement or white brick and be feet to the eves with a bell tower another feel higher The first storey was to be exclusively for the market with butchers stalls and a spacious hall for market produce The basement was for storage On the second floor was a hall with a seating capacity for independent of the stage July Dominion Day Councillor John Millard chairman of the building com mittee presented an 18inch long key to Mayor Cane signifying the building was officially open and in the possession of the municipality It was the culmination of hard and successful years of work by the proponents of a far mers market in the town first market was held June in a small shed with a dust floor which stood to the west of the present building The market grew In popularity both among residents who shopped for fresh produce shopkeepers who came to buy in bulk and farmers who brought in their produce to sell and then spent their money in local shops af terwards Soon a larger site was required and two lots on Main St were leased These were about halfway bet- ween Timothy and streets on the west side and to them the market building was moved and enlarged But by the market had outgrown this too and so the new building was con- structed The farmers market operated there until the wartime shortages and gasoline rationing of the early 1940s brought it to an end w i M 1 v SS vv
