Millions Being Lost to
State By Failure to
Utilize Rivers
MOVEMENT UNDER WAY
California Can Ship to
New York Cheaper
Then Florida

Orlando, Sept 13-Shippers, grow
ers and business men from Sanford,
Mount Dora, Tavares, Leesburg, Pa
latka and other points, large and
small in this section of South Florida,
met at the Orlando Chamber of Com
merce tonight and discussed ways
and means to combat the high freight
rates and declared every effort will
be made to encourage a ship by wa
ter campaign, with Sanford the main
port.
S. j. Sigh, of Orlando, chairman
of the traffic Committee of the Or
lando Chamber of Commerce, pre-
sented statistics designed to show
the freight rates were losing the peo-
pie of Orange and Seminole counties
alone, more than $2,500,000 annually.
These figures were based on present
freight rates against pre-war rates,
in some cases being based on 1918
rates. He said the only solution for
the shippers, growers and merchants,
as well as saving the consumer, was
to ship by water and carry goods to
water shipping port by short haul.
Back to Pre-War Prices
F. L. Skelly, of Orlando, asserted
that citrus fruit this season would
sell at pre-war prices and that the
freight rates would be as high as, or
higher, than last year and the cost
of labor virtually the same. Mr..
Skelly pointed out that California to
New York freight rates on fruit were
20 cents more per hundred weight
than from Orlando to New York. He
asserted that California could ship
fruit to New York by the Panama
Canal at 81 cents per hundred
weight, while Orlando to New York
by water via Sanford and Jackson
vile was rs cents per hundred
weight.
Mr.. Sigh read list of carefully
prepared figures. Basing last seasons
citrus crop of Florida at 12,09S,52O
boxes at the then and present rate of
$l.O8 cents, all rail, freight rate to
New York, would total S13,666,4O1.
This amount against a pre-war rate
of $7,622 ,067 made a net loss to Flor
ida of $6,444, ,S34, he said.
Heavy Loss on Vegetables
Vegetable figures were based on a
Winter Garden rate to New York.
Nine million four hundred thousand
baskets at a $1.05 cent rate to New
York totalled $7,SO7,844. The pre-
war rate was 62 cents and the loss at
the present rate was estimated at
$3,216,354.
Potatoes, 1922 cars from Hastings
to New York, showed loss Of 1884,
544 the present rate being $1.46 and
the pre-war rate 85 cents, he said.
He declared watermelons on the Wau-
chula to New York freight basis
shows loss of $401, All.
He figured that Orange and Semi
mole counties alone were losing $5,-
100000 annually because of the high
freight rates.
Mr.. Stoval, of Mount Dora, declared
that his section was facing a $42,-
900 loss on citrus fruit as result of
the present freight rate.
H. C. Robertson, of Orlando, said
that the difference in freight on
car of automobiles between northern
points and Orlando and Sanford was
S1O3, in favor of Sanford. He said
he proved it when three cars of auto
mobiles came to Orlando, one con-
signed to Sanford coming here by
