FOOD HELD IN CARS AT MAR
KITS

Using refrigerator cars for stor-
age houses at freight terminals is
holding back perisEable foodstufs
from city markets and causing
losses to grower and consumer, &C
cording to Investigators of the bu-
reau of markets. United States de-
partment of agriculture. A recent
report on cars held at terminals
made by one of the refrigerator car
lines shows that 81 cars were held
an average of 4.37 days at Chicago,
while figures on 36 cars at Denver
show an average delay in unload
ing of 6.36 days. Assuming that
these figures hold at other markets
and that the average time fer a
refrigerator car to make a round
trip is about twenty days, 1t is
pointed out that sucn delays would
decrease the available supply of
refrigerator cars by about % Per
cent This, in the face of a pres
ent inadequate supply of refriger-
ator cars. is hampering the move
ment of perishable products from
