at Chestsr and few Others look 20 cary out IN
a thorough manner the experiments they have thus
commenced.
From some Of the best dairymen in the county We
heard complaints 6s 10 the treatment gwen to their
cans by the Erie Railroad Company. They say tha;
the empty are thrown ont on another and SO
roughly handled that they are quickly destroyed
TIE road agent has heretofore suffered cans to be
stolen from the cars and redress afforded If co-
pisnt is made TO the Company. AZ first the road
was to deliver the milk on the Newfork side OF the
rver, but the milkmen compelled TO pay ferriase
10 and fro, the expense of which seriously lessons
their profits, and dispose. them 10 go TO the Harlem
and other roads for supply Butter pals are care
fully handed they say and if any are missing their
value is refunded TO the farmer We thick Il scarcely
necessary TO bring argument TO bear upon the Erie
Railroad Company, TO show them that their interest
lies in wing every facility 10 the farmer TO bring his
produce TO market, and 20 return him his cans in as
good condition as possible. The first principles of
business teach this. We are informed, however, that
a change for the better has been made since the ap
pointment Of the new milk agent q. Jersey City, and
that the Company desrou of removing any causes
of complaint which they may have occasioned.
They should use every possible means 70 have the
business 20 systematzed that if can of milk were
missing at any time some one in theI employ would
be responsible, and that some would make instant
restitution. As TO oblgng city milkmen to pay fer
rage to get the article that they could obtain at
the same price wthou; feriiage elsewhere, it is, we
think, preposterous. The Company should have the
nd Of lis line on the same shore ite ticket Office
and there its products should lie landed Ifto do this
would force them to employ two or three ferry yboats
that is their misfortune. Certainly they might as
well discharge freight at Paterson and refuse to bring
further as to stop at Jersey City. II is the New
York and Eiie Road, not the Jersey City and Erie,
and if co. here It's freight should come AT any rate
whe ther it should or should not, of one thing the Com
psny nav feel assured that unless il takes the liberal
view OF the case il will its milk business out
stripped by tha, of other road more favorably
located or more enlightened in policy.
Within six months we learn, the new milk agent
has introduced system of checks to guard against the
loss OF cans. Each station-master has check num-
bered to correspond to his station on which the name
Of each daiIyman, and the number of his cans, are
shown. The agent in Jersey City has duplicate
and on presenting this to the brakeman he gets his
proper number of cans, and if any he missing the
brakeman is responsible. Let this be faithfully car
ried out and much good will result to the road in
general reputation and increase OF receipts.
Thus ends series of articles on the interesting
subject of the Orange County Max Business.
