through the Legislature. which gave the
Sinking Fund Commission of this city
authority 10 permit the use Of the sites
OF the present West Washington and

local business mems associations OF the
district These organizations combined to
prepare in detail an elaborate scheme for

RAILROAD FOOD TERMINAL.

Regarding the proposition to concen-
trate the railroad deliveries Of food sup
plies at a wholesale market terminal 10
Gated on the west side OF Manhattan, the
cooperation OF the railroads which do not
get a direct entrance to this location
might be difficult to secure. and the plan
is subject To the fundamental objection
that delivery In carload lots should be
made at the points nearest 10 the con-
sumer. The breaking up Of carload lots
on the west side OF Manhattan Island
necessltates their distribution at retail
throughout the rest Of greater New York,
whereas the placing of carload lots on
terminals along the Brooklyn waterfront
and in The Bronx enables the supplies 10
be distributed at a minimum OF cost.
This plan tends to strengthen the hold of
the wholesaler, whereas the tendency
should be TO move the goods from the
terminals direct TO the retailer"
Large quantities of food supplies. the
report states. are under the present sys-
tenn carried past Brooklyn and The
Bronx into the wholesale districts in
Manhattan, and carried thence back to
Brooklyn and The Bronx. They say that
the original natural location OF the rail-
road lines and steamship piers on the
North River front has caused this CON
dition, hut that the extension OF the
lighterage areas has nullhed the neces-
sity OF location at that point, and Il
would now be easily possible 10 have
transportation terminals by lighterago
at convenient points throughout the city.
particularly on tho edges Of the river. a
which places markets and storage facili-
TICS might be constructed.
This whole investigation. the commit
tee says, is the first OF its kind over 10
be conducted in this country. and they
express their surprise that with depart
ments for flre and police and health we
should so long have neglected the oppor-
tunity for the development Of a depart
ment that would have charge OF that
primal necessity ity-food-cspecially since
the greater part OF the population at
New-York tribune., 1912-08-11

AS things now exist the producer mas no
assurance Of this Sort as frequently, the
committee claims. his stuff is bought by
the commission man. who is also in bust
ness as wholesaler and charges the
farmer commission on sales made TO HIM
self at his own price! The committee
goes into other abuses of the present
system which would be eliminated by fix
ing prices by public auction by licensed
auctioneers.
In summing up they say: THE private
retail market of the food department
store type combines all the advantages
which are demanded In scientific solu-
ton of the problem of food distribution.
II enjoys maximum efficiency in buying
supplies II can be so located as to be
easily accessible to consumers in all parts
Of the city. 1t can make deliveries III
larger units, consequently a decrease III
cost. II can be easily supervised both on
the financial and health sides; II iNes
unerringly the responsibility FOR any
abuses Of food distribution in quality OF
in price. Its management can oe so reg
ulated that the system would be operated
for the benefit OF the producer and the
benefit Of the consumed.
They also claim that these large retall
units can be operated at cost OF 10 per
cent without delivery and 20 per cent with
delivery. as against cost Of % per cent
TO 80 per cent for the present separate
wholesale and retail systems without de-
livery. and at a cost OF S5 per cent to 40
nor cent with delivery. The committee
advocates that these large retail UNITS DC
operated by private capital rather thah
nv the municipality.

substantial scale, such as its importance
justifes."
In this connection Horace V. Bruce, ex-
pert investigator for the committee, told
The Tribune reporter that the report
aimed just as much 10 help the producer
as 10 aid the consumer in lowering the
cost of living.
THE farmer naturally feels sore he
said, 'at getting only 40 cents or less Of
the consumers dollar, and agriculture on
that scale doesn't always pay. We think
the producer is justified In expecting at
least 70 cents Of the consumers dollar,
and that IL the recommendations en-
bodied In our report are carried out he
will get 1t, Thus agriculture throughout
the state will be stimulated and we shall
have more and better produce. TlTt small

TO BE CONTROLLED BY STATE

They also urge that the whole market
situation come under the jurisdiction or
State Department of Markets, TO be cre-
ated by amendment Of the various char
ters OF the cities of the state. on this
point the report reads as follows: THE
state rather than the municipality should
take charge Of the subject under discus
sion, for the reason that the state alone
can represent the diverse interests Of the
producers and the consuming districts;
that the municipalities cannot be depend
ed upon TO recognize the interests of the
producing class Of people and 10 give
them such information and surety Of
sales and such assistance in agricultural
development as are their due. Moreover ii
Is claimed that the development Of city
markets upon the scale proposed by this
report would lead TO political interference
OF such a serious character that the
whole plan would be put out OF working
condition thereby, Whatever plan may
