MUNICIPAL PLANT
WOULD CUT H. c. |.
Mr.. Scalco Suggests 1t for
Use of Wholesale Food
Dealers.

Plans for municipal wholesale food
plant are proposed by Salvatore
ScaIco in letter to Clarence Wilson.
chairman of the fair price committee e
for the District; to Commissioner
Brownlow. several senators and rep.
resentatives of the trade bodies OF
the District.
IF the District government would
build a wholesale terminal for all
merchants who deal in fruits vegeta-
hles. poultry, eggs and even meat
packers and wholesale grocers. and
were to locate this plant in the neigh
borhood of South Capitol street. where
land might be purchased as cheaply
as in another part of Washington and
where the railroads could meet from
all points-if this were done, the fish
market would be nearby and boats in
winter which bring fish and oysters
to the city could bring fruit. vegeta-
bles and other products in the sum-
mer," the letter states.
Outline Of Plan.
The following is an outline of how
I think this municipal wholesale plant
should be built. 1t should have long
platforms, with each space numbered
off and rented to whatever concern
wished to locate there: have two or
three SubcellarS for dry storage. such
as apples, onions. potatoes. bananas
and other perishables. The railroad
could run switch tracks or sidings to
this building, where the cars could
be unloaded Immediately upon arriv-
al. This would increase the useful
ness of the cars and help to relieve
the car shortage which is being COM
planned of constantly by the railroad
with this efficiency l believe that
We could get at least two more trips
out of each car per year.
The switch tracks would eliminate
all drayage. Under present conditions
drayage alone costs my house approx
mately 100000 per year. When a car
of fruit arrives we first haul it to cold
storage, and later on we haul it to our
place of business. where it is sold. and
finally to the retail dealer. When you
stop to consider that there are about
two hundred merchants doing this it
adds quite an item to the cost of food.
Would Lower Living Cost.
''The money spent in the erection
of such a building l feel sure would We
