A MUNICIPAL FISH MARKET

New York City has gone into The
food business. and its first achieve
ment is impressive. By way OF low
ering the price of fish, ten tons Of
smelts were imported from the P&c.
fic coast. They were sold al 9 cents
q pound, giving the retailers proat
of ~ cents a pound. The regular
dealers were asking three times that
much for Atlantic smelts. Naturally
they commanded ready sale. The
i. city promptly ordered 40 tons more,
and it is expected that there VIII DC
other varieties of fish from the west
ern coast
Several features of this experiment
claim attention. When fish can DO
shipped clear across the continent and
sold at a profit at price ole-third as
high as the price asked for the same
fish from local waters, something is
wrong with the eastern fish industry
1t Is noteworthy, too, that those
smelts came all the way from Tacoma
to New York in 100 hours. When the
railroads can do'that in such case,
why can't they give just as prompt
transportation whenever there Is q
scarcity of any kind of food in any
part of the country?
Another impressive fact and fact
that probably accounts for the success
OF the New York undertakings the
personnel OF the New York food sup
ply committee. The chairman Of that
committee and the active head of the
movement to ease the food situation
is George W. Perkins, one of the
ablest men in America.
