STATE HOUSE
Next Council Meeting ..... P. NJ. Tuesday, Dec 1916
Yes. I have noted that potatoe ship

Yes, 1 have noted that potatoe ship
ments are arriving in Boston and New
York and that the market has eased
off a bit. Now. don't misunderstood
me, but I don't see how potatoes
enough can be secured from the Prov
inces to take care Of the shortage in
this country. The government reports
say that we are about $4,000, 900 bushels
short from last years crop-how can
Canada make up to us that amount?
Il happen to know from information
received from one Of the parties inter-
ested that two or three potato buyers
went down east" and succeeded in 10
eating and buying about 900 bushels
of potatoes, which they have been ship
ping into New England and New York
markets, making a good thing on their
investment. One Of the men told me
that he estimated that perhaps about
$4,000 bushels more might be picked up
in the section through which thew
went, and that was all. Now, with the
territory covered by them, l don't see
any permanent relief from our pres
ent potato prices.
THE shipments to the eastern mar
kets from Michigan, Wisconsin and
other states which raise more pota-
toes than they use have not made IN
for the demand which has caused the
present high prices and in my opin-
ion will not. because they have not
enough to ship. The market is certain
~ little lower just now than it has
been, but certainly look for it to 90
back to the former figures, If not high
err l 90 not say this to brighten any
one or cause anyone to hold potatoes
Tor rise. but because my view and
estimates of the condition of the mar
kets and the supply on hand leads me
to that view Of the situation. 1t may
be just as well to say nothing, but
these are my personal views"

During the past few months this

Some 80 or 60 families have located in
the city for the educational advantages
offered by the college and having so
thoroughly extended it's collegiate cur
riculum and enlarged its faculty as to
give to students complete collegiate
courses comparable to those offered
by the leading colleges and universe
ties, it was realized that the name
abandoned by the school was not in

attained.
The college is strongly supported by
the citizens of this city and here the
consensus of opinion is that it is des-
tined to soon become one of the most
important educational institutions of
the state.
