Two years ago a survey was made by L. D. H. Weld for the town and city improvement committee of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. He concluded that a retail public market does not bring the benefits that may be obtained by a broader constructive policy which would in-

A large part of the food supply of every American city of 50,000 or more population comes from distant sources There is a much greater diversity now in the foods on our tables than formerly. Indianapolis receives much food from California. Florida, the Pacific northwest, Hawaii and Central and South America- Manifestly the producer of those places can not retail on our public market. The proposed wholesale terminal market would receive shipments from those distant sources as well aa from nearer

terminal markets were followed, sell them at auction as well as in other ways to both consumers and retailers, the wholesale quantities being made small enough to be within the reach of the pocketbooks of many individual consumers and co-operative consumers' clubs. There would still be retailers, but probably not as many as there are now. Many consumers would still avail themselves of the credit and free delivery provided by the retail grocer. It is found, also, that the number of commission men and other wholesalers would be reduced. Source of Opposition.

Harris Weinstock, the first state market director of California, reported in lfl» that the tree public retail market

The public retail market is usually opposed by retailers, and so would a wholesale terminal market be opposed because it would sell In lots small enough to give competition to the retailers aa well as the commission men But the aim of society, it has been said often, is the greatest good to the greatest number. Selfish interests should not be permitted to stand in the way of improved methods of distribution, which would reduce the number of persons

living on middlemen’s profits.

The report of the committee of the National Municipal League on ’ The Relation of a City to Its Food Supply” deals with this phase of the movement

follows:

The city that sets its face toward obtaining lower food costs for its citizens will have to bear in mind that the paramount Interest is the interest of the average consumer. Those interests are to be safeguarded through permanency in muncipal policy. The city hav-

as

tng once determined to develop an adequate system of public markets, for instance, should not be deterred from that development because a retailer here and there may feel that these markets are incroaching on his sales. Neither can a city be deterred from the establishment of wholesale terminal markets or the adoption of the auctioneer system, which is especially recommended by this committee, on the grounds that there may be here and there a Jobber, wholesaler or retailer whose sales may

be diminished.

Cities May Assist. ‘The social attitude toward these men must be identical with the social attitude toward the laborers whose entire work and earning possibilities have Jbeen largely taken away because of the introduction of machinery or new processes in manufacturing. There are at work now economic forces that are destined to lower distribution costs, increase production and make for more careful and direct buying and selling by middlemen and better and more Judicious buying by consumers. These tendencies can be definitely stimulated by city action of the kind herein indicated, and the farmer, or jobber, or wholesaler, or receiver who rises up to say that no advanced movements shall be made, must be put in exactly the same category as the laborer who demanded that machines be kept out of factories because they would throw men out of employment. Society must moved toward greater efficiency and greater efficiency means that the agencies by which the few make a living shall in case of need give way to the better good of the whole.’* For Municipal Market. To the Editor of the News. Sir—Tour editorial in last Saturday’s News, with reference to a municipal market being built in preference to colosseum, I find is very timelv and commendable. I am satisfied that there are 500 other business men in Indianapolis that will agree with me. The sentiment has been against a colosseum, that would cost t2.000.000 or $3,000,000, when we have enough in Tomlinson hall and the fair ground to answer all practical purposes. The central buying plan, would. I believe, help every citizen In Indianapolis.

'U-

Maintenance with The Motor Hauling Company, Inc., of New York, one of the largest cartage concerns in the country is a singularly fine science— every penny in upkeep and depreciation being carefully tabulated.
