To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In seasons when the receipts are heavy it not infrequently happens that the con- gestion at the Manhatan terminals will hold back carloads of goods in the Jersey yards for days before they can be discharged for sale. Sometimes they are held back until they spoil and are a total loss to producer and con- sumer * * *." " The present primary market in Manhattan is too con- gested and too far away from the rapidly growing outlying boroughs to be the base of supplies for the greater percentage of th...e retailers of the city. The time and labor of going to this market are too great and the dealers are forced to buy from the nearer jobbing centers. This lengthens the chain of middlemen and makes much trucking necessary.
It is estimated that there axe, on an average, over 1,000 trucks working in the market district daily, and that a truck must earn seven dollars a day to pay for itself. This alone imposes a daily tax on our food supply of $7,000, which does not include the cost of all the grocres' wagons that make daily trips of from two or three to fifteen miles to reach the market into the late hours at night and morning — a condi- tion which does not obtain in any other large city in the country.
