LONG ISLAND F4RNEKS DONr LIKE 1T.
THEY ARGUE AGAINST THE NEW ORDINANCE
BEFORE MAYOR HEWITT.

A vigorous effort made yesterday to induce
Mayor Hewitt 10 withhold his signature from the
new ordinance passed by the Aldermen, changing
the mode of selling vegetables, fruit and berries om
measurement TO weight. A committee representing
the Long Island farmers and marketmen. consisting
of AG. Cropsey, John f. Backus Andrew spnngstein,
John O'Donnell, 5. B. Downes, G. 5. Palmer, G. p
Woodward and l.. s Davis, and j. b. Rogers, Of the
New-Jersey State Grange, was introduced to Mr..
Hewitt by Congressman James W. Covert
Messrs Cropsey, Backus and Rogers made the
principal arguments against the ordinance. They
believed that 1t would work great injustice to the
producers without proving benefit TO the actual con-
sumers. The scheme would be burden to the
farmers and marketmen, it was insisted on account
of the additional labor and expense which 1t entaed.
In addition to this If the weighing Were done upon
the farm there would necess arily be material re-
ducton In the weight of the produce caused by
evaporation of the moisture before the articles could
reach the market No matter how correct the weights
might be originally marked upon the packages this
evaporation would lessen them 10 such a degree as
make the seller liable TO penalties for under weight
This arrangement it was urged would work 10 the
advantage only of the retailers and mfddlemen, who
already had the lions share OF the profits. Mayor
Hewitt said that he would give the matter careful
consideration before taking action
4 committee of the retail grocers will argue the
other side of the before the Mayor tomorrow.
