| The lease (and occupation) of a stall in a public market is not a right but a purely statutory privilege governed by laws and ordinances.[17] The operation of a market stall by virtue of a license is always subject to the police power of the city government.[18] An application for this privilege may be granted or refused for reasons of public policy and sound public administration.[19] The city government, through its market administrator, is not duty-bound to grant lease privileges to any applicant, least of all those who refuse to obey the new ordinance prescribing the rules and regulations for the market stalls. | |||||
