Two plans were submitted 70 the committee lor
consideration. One was the London plan &c
scribed above The other was a plan SUD
mitted by Isaac G. White, of Dover PlalnS, ~ \
Mr. Whites plan embraced the DIVISION OF 'hS
milk territory into dlstrictS-cach section tapped
by railroad to be one district, except the Two
great milk carriers, the Erie ana Harlem Wlich
were to he each considered three districts. Each
district is to elect director. ms board or
directors should choose president, secretary
treasurer, etc in fact. as roIlroad IS oIEahlzeu
These elected officers are TO nave charge OF the
supplying of the city with milk. The directors,
being producers. Will fix the price say once or
twice year. Then the surplus. the per cent
of milk which now ruins the price for the other
90 per cent, would be kept from the market
and made up into potchcese. All these NcNcd
questions, Mr.. White thinks. would be settled hv
his officials, the price maintained, and the pres
emf city dealers let alone also.
