The Newtown bee., 1891-03-20

Upon the suggestion OF the NeWtOWn
milk producers, j. w. Tuthill of New
York, lessee of the Newtown creamery,
met IA committee of milk producers at
the creamery, last week Thursday, to
arrange prices for the ensuing year. Mr.
Tuthill offered but one proposition, his
prices for milk to be regulated by the
price cards of the New York milk eX-
change. Last year he paid 1-2c less than
the exchange price for six months and
l-4c less for the rest of the year. For
the next II months, however, he offers
1-2c less for nine months and lie less
for three months. The reasons he gave
for the reduction were three-fold: The
heavy rents, the freights to New York
and losses caused by INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers. These prices were not fully agreed
upon at that time, for Mr. Tuthill said
that he was weary of running the bust
ness without profit, sometimes at a loss
and had partly decided to give it up.
Tuesday, however, he notified the milk
men that he would take milk for another
year at the stipulated prices. The agree
ment will not be accepted by all patrons
of the creamery. The creamery is now
shipping about 65 cans of milk day.
The creamery building belongs to the
HOusatOnic road.
