RESOLUTIONS.
Hatfield introduced the following reso-
luton, which was adopted:
WHEREAS, The fruit, vegetable and
viticultural industry OF the State of Cali
= L
constitute one Of the principal sources
OF wealth 10 the people OF the State of
| California; and, Whereas lit is we'll known
that the cost of transporting such pro-
ducts from the points Of shipment in this
State to the markets Of Eastern and other
States is greatly in excess of the actual
prohtaDIe cost OF transportation; and
Whereas, It IS very commonly understood
]nat very large proportion of the
charges incident to TRANSPORTATION are Oc-
casloned by the use of patented devices
Tor the preservation of such shipments.
and that the amount paid for the use OF
such patented devices is greatly in excess
OF q reasonable return to the owners of
SUCH devices; therefore, be it
HeSOtUed, That the Board of Railroad
Commissioners of the State Of California
be requested to report to this Assembly
within ten days from this date detailed
statement OF the rates charged for the
transportation OF the products of the
State OF California 10 the Eastern and
other markets; and that they advise this
y ssembIy rs TO what devices are used.
and the additional cost of TRANSPORTATION
oCcasloned by the use OF such devices for
! the preservation OF fruit: and to report
whether or not it is not possible to pro-
vide Tor the use OF equally satisfactory
devices or plans at greatly red uced rates
And that they give the Assembly such
other information as may enable it to
tho
industries OF this State in the greatest de-
gree possible.
