ui peach growers was held in ,hs Town
Hal at Middlcowu 10 determine upon
rev markets and new routes for their
fruit and thus obviate the many difficult
ties and aunoyances 10 which peach ship
pers have been subjected at Jersey Guy,
owing to the fact that, 10 matter how
large The crop Of peaches grown on this
Peninsula, the great bulk Is always sent
to that place, from which lOint II is re-
moved to New York at an eX0rbiiant rate.
To remedy this evil the meeting bad been
called by Mr.. Samuel Townsend TO decide
upon other routes and other markets, and
a more thorough distribution OF the next
peach crop.
sewell q. Biggs was elected President,
and sewell Breen acted 8s Secretary.
MIR. Townseud said the crop Of peaches
for the present year would probably be
very large aud he thought 1t was time
those growing the crop should mako NJ
rangements for shipping it. Peach
growers for years have been at the mercy
Uflhe hucksseTs of New York,and he want
ed to DO away with She fOur.cent clrtage
levied there. During the last peach
season that four. cent carriage amounted to
SSO000,n and as 10 was an Just enactment.
The whole OF this large sum should to-day
be in ihe poci,c.s Of fruit growers on this
.
