COLD STORAGE
IS HIT IN BILL
One of the Measures introduced at Trenton Last Night
Aims at the High Cost Of Living-Limit Time
in Refrigerating Plants

Trenton, Feb. 1:-Acting on the
expressed belief that the increasing
cost of food lies in the fact Of there
being millions of dollars worth of
all kinds of produce in refrigerating
plants, there to await higher prices
by forcing a scarcity, which Is the
idea OF State Commissioner of Char
tiles and Corrections Dr. George B.
Wight, of this state; Assemblyman
James, Hudson county, last night
struck the first blow at this believed
evil when he put in the house of as
sembly bill TO control refrigerating
plants in the interest of the whole
people.
The James idea is that the re-
frigerating plants in this state where
food is kept should be at once put
under the supervision of the state
board of health, which board is
given the power in the proposed stat
ute to at all times inspect and to
make rules and regulations for the
common good of the people. The
food placed in such plants must be
first branded with the day, month
and year when offered to the ware
houseman for storage, and the duty
Is put on the warehouseman to see
that such goods are stamped when
placed in his possession, and makes
him liable to indictment for a misde-
meanor if he secretes food unbrand-
ed or allows it to go out of his pos
session unbranded by the date when
received for storage. The state board
of health is given free access to the
refrigerating plants at all times, to
enforce penalties when unbranded
goods are found in storage, ware
housemen must make quarterly re-
ports of contents of the plant,
goods must not remain in storage
longer than six months, unless by
permission of the state board of
health, and this permission can only
extend the time another six months.
Goods in storage six months must,
within sixty days thereafter, unless
ordered destroyed by the state board
of health, which power is given at
any time inferior or deterioated food
is discovered, be sold at public auc-
tion. Goods cannot be transferred
from one warehouse TO another TO
prolong the period of six months
limit of keep.
The real regulating force of the
proposed statute lies in the fact that
no fine is imposed, but violations of
the provisions means indictment of
owner of goods, or owner of ware
house and trial for a misdemeanor
which in this state is punishable by
three years at hard labor in state
prison.
Mr.. Sullivan, Hudson, pat in an
other bill of similar import. only he
allows but three-fannths for the
keeping of products in refrigeratini
plants.
