147. ^34 7o M a r k t a m t . The general legal and administrative requirements for the meat market halls in Prague VII, the slaughter, livestock and horse markets, as well as for the food market warehouses, open markets and towns. Special economic administrations exist for the management of market halls, open markets and bridge scales, and the XyI unit is also responsible for a number of small businesses owned by the city, such as bathing facilities, river management, printing works, etc. It is not possible for Unit XVI to continue as a joint administrative unit of various companies in the new organisational plan. Whereas the exercise of the general legal and administrative functions of the market system should therefore be combined with another body; whereas the care of the meat market halls and the slaughter and livestock markets should be entrusted to the management of the slaughterhouses and livestock farms; In addition, the Altstädter Markthalle, the Markthallen in Veitsberg , Smichow and in Kgl. Weinberge, as well as a number of open markets exist for the food trade. For these market facilities a new administration is to be established. The tasks are important enough to establish a special office. The scope of the tasks, however, is not large enough to establish an independent office with its own staff, but rather suggests that the management of the office should be combined with the administration of the largest market hall, so that the head of the market office and the market hall personnel unit exist. The manager of the management of the Altstädter Markthalle is also to be the managing director of the Marktamt.The personnel required for the administration of the market and the necessary material equipment for this purpose are to be provided to him in particular.The previous responsibility of the Market Hall Administration remains unaffected.The Market Office should also be responsible for the urban bridge scales.
