Packer Domination Certain With
Present Methods

Am approaching packer domina-
tion of all important foods in this
country and an international con-
troll of meat products with foreign
companies seems a certainty unless
fundamental action is taken to pre-
vent it.
"A fair consideration Of the
course the five packers have fol-
lowed and the position they have
already reached must lead to the
conclusion that they threaten the
freedom Of the market of the
country's food industries and of the
by-product industries linked there
with. The meat packer control Of
other foods will not require long in
developing.
The Farmers National Commit
tee on Packing Plants and Allied
Industries urges careful considera-
tion of the evidence the Commission
submits in this report in proof of
its charges regarding the packers
since it is evident that public un-
derstanding of these facts will make
the demand of producers and con-
sumers for enactment of the Ken
yon- Anderson Bill TO deal with the
meat packing industry unanimous
throughout the country.

Thirty OF forty owners of property
abutting South Second and Third ave-
nues appeared before the city council
this morning to enter protests against
streets. The complainants did not OBJ
ject to the action of the council In
passing resolutions of necessity call
ing for reconstruction Of the pavement.
but they did complain of the manner
OF assessment for the Improvement.
II was argued by the property own
ers that portion of the cost should
be assessed to the city. because the
improvement. II was commended, did
not benefit the property to the amount
of the assessments. One of the spokes-
men for the canplainants pointed to
the fact that Third avenue had been
permanently improved twice and now
the property owners were again called
upon to bear the expense Of paving
the street a third time.
The members OF the council pointed
out that Third avenue was mecadam-
lied about thirty-five years ago and
paved but once, when the present as
phalt paving was put in. The council
has not contemplated nor directed the
re-paving OF the streets. but rather
reconstructing the paving using the
old base and foundation with new
upper course Of concrete, tarvia, sheet
asphalt or brick block.
City Can Not Pay.
The complainantS were told the city
could do nothing toward sharing in
the expense of the improvement, be-
cause of lack Of funds for that pur-
pose. 1t was suggested that the city
appropriate from the streets and alleys
fund to help pay the cost. This fund,
however, is not sufficient to permit
of any transfer of money from it.
No relief was given the complain
ants and the city council. in an ad-
journed meeting. following the hearing
of protests, initially adopted specifi-
cations for the Improvement. The
resolution of necessity, previously
adopted, called for the reconstruction
of the pavement on the two streets.
one course of concrete. tarvia. sheet or
asphalt or brick block being laid on
the old foundation. and the old base
and foundation to be repaired where
necessary.
The Third avenue improvement
would be from the south line Of Main
street to. the Chicago Great Western
railway tracks. and on Second avenue
from the south line of Main street to
Boone street. The paving on Second
avenue, south of Boone street, is in
good condition.
The resolution adopting the specifi-
cations will be on file one week in the
office Of the city clerk before it is
finally adopted.
