City considers market rents and a possible $40,000 gain
The renewal of Quincy and Faneuil Hall market stalls and cellars leases, expired April 1, faces Common Council debate amid talk of corruption and a bold outside offer to pay $26,000 more annually than current rents. An offer to raise city revenue to over 7 percent is under review by Mayor Quincy with broader consequences weighed.

Fitzgerald Upholds 1892 View on City Market Leases
Congressman Fitzgerald defends his long held stance that city market stalls yield too little revenue. He argues leases are city franchises, granting sidewalk access and protection, five year terms, and extra city watchmen benefits, while rivals in other markets pay higher rents without similar privileges.
