PLAN MARKET
NEAR NEWARK
Would be Used as Distributing
Center for Farm Products
Port Authority

TRENTON. Aug. 29.-Establish-
ment of an elaborate market in the
vicinity of Newark as a distributing
center for New Jersey farm products
is advocated by the State Depart
ment of Agriculture and definite
Roadway toward such a project is
reported by Alexis L.. Clark, state
market chief, following a conference
with the Port of New York Author
ity Commission.
The agricultural officials argue
that economic distribution of crops
is hindered by the cramped condi-
tons at the present Newark market,
which is located in a ~congested bust
ness center and now being curtailed
for space. Farmers who have equip
ped themselves with big delivery
trucks and have helped to build
good highways over which to carry
their products, claim they find them
selves handicapped under present
conditions in the market itself, and
the demand for better facilities,
which has been growing for ten
years, has reached unusual proper
lions this year.
Methods of developing the new
market plans were considered at the
recent conference attended Dy CHltl
Clark and II. b. Bamford, t%ranspor-
tation specialist; w. w. Ellsworth,
member of the State Board of Agri-
culture: r. w. DeBaun, of the New
ark Gardeners Associations; Acting
Secretary Hendrickson, of the State
Chamber of Commerce, and Chair
man f.. II. Ou%terbridge and Commits
sioner j. Spencer Smith, OF Tenaf1y,
both members of the New York Au-
thority Commission. 1t was the con-
census of opinion that an accessible
site should be chosen, comprising
twenty or more acres, at some point
between Newark and Jersey City,
near good railroad facilities and &C
cessibIe from all points FOR farmers
and dealers.
Methods of financing the enter
prise are now being considered and
several practical plans are said to
have been suggested. Farmers and
millions of consumers IN the metro
politan districts as well as the deal
ers would profit quickly through the
presentation of better marketing ia
c%ilities, say agricultural officials.
Thousands of farmers from the
northern and central counties of the
state flock to the Newark markets
as the natural outlet for their pro-
ducts and the proposed development
will make it easier for them to
transfer these products to the
agency next to the consumer, elimi-
mating the needless cost and delay
of handling by TOO many middlemen.
