Terminal Would Be

Co-operative Venture By HAROLD HARTLEY Government officials were surveying the city today to find a site for a $2 million terminal to

{house Indianapolis’ $100 million

a year produce bLusiness, The site, from 30 to 60 acres, would combine the resources of the produce trade and would be serviced by railroad spurs, truck lines with facilities for the quick movement of perishables to consumers. C. J. Otten, chief of the Terminal Market Section of the Mar. keting Facilities Branch of the Department of Agriculture, was studying centers of population,

{accessibility to buyers and ship-

pers and other factors essential for the project. Terminal Similar The new terminal, to be backed by local produce men would be a co-operati e venture similar to the one being erected in Houston, Tex., would employ about 1500 men with an annual payroll ranging between $300,000 and $500,-

i. Otten was accompanied by A. L. Owen, P. 8. Richey of the Marketing Section, and K. L Fawcett of Purdue University. He will be joined shortly by F. L. Faber and 8S. D. Clark, also of the Department of Agriculture. The move will combine the city’s produce marketing facilities now on E. Bouth, 8. Delaware, 8S. Alabama and 8. New Jersey Sts. With the terminal Indianapolis will contract borderline business which is now going to Chicago, Cincinnati and: St. Louis. The added business is estimated at about $25 million a year. Plan’ Prospectus There are some 800 buyers of produce in the ¢ity who purchase

{about 25,000 carloads a year.

This is drawn from approxi-

mately 2500 farms in the area.
