new FREIGHT
RATE GAINED
FOR GROWERS
Southern States Will
Demand More Citrus
Than Valley Will Be
Able to Ship

A market so vast that Valley ORCH
ards will be unable TO supply 1t has
been opened in Southwestern terri
tory for grapefruit through a special
and favorable freight rate just secur-
ed by the local representative of the
Texas Citrus Fruit Growers Ex-
change.
The states south Of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers. and east OF the Mis-
sissippi, closed to Florida by federal
quarantine on account of the Medi-
terreanan fruit fly infestation in
that state, is demanding Valley
grapefruit. Figures on shipments
from Florida last year into the af-
fected states show that Valley pro-
duction will not supply the demand
after the regular customers In estab-
lished outlets are cared for.
Special Rate
There never has been a special
freight rate in grapefruit into this
territory from the Valley before on
account Of the lack of demand for
1t. The existing rate was so high
that Valley grapefruit could not have
moved under It.
The Citrus Exchange, which asked
that the rate be established, has beer
advised that me Southern Pacific
and Missouri Pacific have field q
joint application and have submitted
a joint docket to all carriers.
The rates established in this ap-
plication are low enough to make q
considerable saving to Valley ship
pers and to permit Valley grapefruit
TO enter that territory for the first
time.
Vast New Market
On account Of these states being
so much nearer TO Florida than to
the Valley and because freight rates
are considerably lower from Florida
than they ever can be from the VAL
ley. they are expected to begin using
Florida fruit as soon as it is avail
able. But local growers believe the
more discriminating buyers in that
territory, once they have sampled
the superior quality of Valley grape
fruit will demand II. and that thus
the Valley viii permanently gain an
outlet for a considerable production.
The states affected and the num-
Der OF cars of Florida grapefruit used
last year by each are: Alabama 234
Georgia 325. Kentucky 165. Mississip-
pi 20. North Carolina l4S. South
Carolina 266. Tennessee 439 and
Virginia 303.

The case OF William B. Shearer, who

Meanwhile, President Hoover had

Cid Merchants Heat & Light
Co.'s Contracts to Be
Scrltinized.

Thorough Investigation of the
eity's contract with the Merchants
Heat and Light Company, now the
Indianapolis Power and Light Com
pany. was ordt red today by the
board Of works.
The investigation is in line with
the boards policy of sitting all con-
tracts in which the city is interested,
with a view to possible improvement
whereby the city would save money,
7. H. Dammeyer, president, de-
elared, in announcing the inquiry.
NJ. J. Johnston, assistant city en-
gineer, has been instructed to make
a study of the contract and file a
report of his findings with the board.
1t is expected Johnston's report
will be presented to the board at its
next meeting, Friday.
eff the city is entitled to better
rates, we want them" Dammeyer
said. Those called for in the cons
tract we're regulated by freight rates,
the price of coal, and of other COM
modities. If these prices have gone
down, the power rates should be
lowered"
The contract was entered into in
April, 1925, by the former board of
works, of which Charles E. Coffin,
W. H. Freeman and M. H. Spencer
we're members.
AS the first of a series of inveSti-
cation into city contracts, the result
Of the power probe will be watched
eagerly by board members and
other city officials.
1t is believed large saving for
city will be made by the investiga-
tons, which have been planned for
some time by the board.
Emsley w. Johnson and John c.
McClosky, board members, ex-
pressed themselves heartily in favor
OF the move and are optimistic
about the possibility of tangle re-
suits in cutting rates on several
utilities.
