Growers urge rails to keep peach shelves amid charter talk
In Dover a letter shows earnest demand that the Railroad Company continue placing shelves in cars for peaches and other fruits. A committee of Cannon, Melvin, Shallcross, Hughes, and Ridgely will confer with railroad officials. Some growers discuss challenging the company charter, citing a clause granting revocation if abuse occurs. Cannon notes Delaware’s branch earnings exceeded 620000 last year and urges continuation of shelving for over forty years, warning against injustice to growers and shippers as Georgia-style packing resurfaces. The peach season looks promising.
