Therefore “Yrork was rushed to Improve and en- ‘arge Manhattan Produce Yard, Kear- ny, N. J., which yard had been used to handle watermelons for the pust two years. When the embargo was finally issued a notation appeared to the effect that if desired delivery of Potatoes would be made at Manhattan Produce Yard. At the meeting June 12 It was charged that the cost of potatoes to the consumer in New York City would be increased 40c a barrel or a total of $4,000,000 if the’s delivery was taken at Manhattan Produce Yard. In- vestigation indicates, however, that under the proposed arrangement the cost of potatoes to the consumer in New York would be no greater than ut present. The Pennsylvania Railroad has made extensive tests with trucks carrying goods to various sections of New York City, It has been found that it is possible for trucks to make two or three trips per day from Man. hattan Produce Yard to such sections of the city as lower Manhattan, Har lem. Bids received from truck- ing concerns for the use of their trucks show that potatoes may be transported from Manhattan Produce Yard at a cost ranging from ile to 30c a barrel, dependent upon the sec- tion to which they are consigned. This you will note is considerably lower than the cost claimed by the trade. Furthermore, it was claimed that this was a total additional cost to the consumer. The fact ts, however, that under the present arrangement the consumer pays from 15 to 25 or 80 cents per barrel for the delivery of potatoes from the present piers to the various sections of the port of New York. Thus the actual final cost to the consumer of potatoes would not he increased if their delivery were taken at Manhattan Produce Yard. Besides, the delivery of all potatoes intended for New York consumers would be assured. While Manhattan Produce Yard is a very few miles further away from certain sections of New York than the plers, it is also more convenient to some sections and it is centrally located with regard to the port dis- trict generally. For instance, a deal- er in Harlem, by using the Fort Lee | Ferry and the Jersey Highway to Manhattan Produce Yard, because of the lack of congestion on this route, can make a quicker trip than he could to the piers in lower Manhat- tan Representatives of various women's associations and housewives’ leagues stated at the meeting of June 12 that they protested against any change that would lower the quality of any goods delivered in New York.

The truck- ericult ing time is about the same from each to the various sections of New York. Thus, under the proposed arrange- ment, the retail merchants and the housewives of New York City would receive their potatoes twenty-four hours earlier, thereby improving the quality and general freshness of the potatoes, Until the condition of congestion is over, by unloading potatoes at Man- hattan Produce Yard, the movement of all other perishables as well as various food products such as meat, canned goods, butter and eggs would be greatly facilitated and there would be no loss of these goods and corre- sponding higher costs to consumers which would result from such con- gestion. The Pennsylvania Railroad proposed this embargo as an emergency meas. ure. It felt that It was wise to make every effort to facilitate the move- ment of perishable and other food products into New York City.
