Salinas Banquet Celebrates Spreckels Sugar Plant Promise
At Salinas Monterey County leaders from urban and rural industries hailed B Spreckels for proposing a sugar refinery that would daily process 3000 tons of beets into 450 tons of sugar, delivering 12 000 dollars to farmers and 5000 to merchants daily. He aims to make California the top sugar producer, shipping 60 million tons abroad annually, without land gifts or cash bonuses, seeking only protection from European wage competition.
