HAMILTON, ONT. 



Mr. McMahon favored every packer bi 

 in^ registered. It would help the inspec toi 

 in the performance of their duties and i 

 looking: after sortie of the packers. 



Mr. Max Smith, Burlinjfton, Ont., clain 

 ed that an honest packer does not need a 

 inspector's certificate. Dishonest p: 

 are the men who need certificates ti 

 them make sales. Dealers in the 

 would require that all shipments shot: 

 accompanied by ccnificates. To start ^n 

 infi- certificates would make it necessary t 

 employ an army of inspectors. 



Lome Carey, of the Wentworth Frui 

 Growers' Association, told of a carload c 

 apples that had been shipped west. Th 

 retailer wired back an its receipt that i 

 was unsaleable. The fruit inspector wa 

 called in and reported that the fruit wa 

 first-class. In the course of the trouble t| 

 apples became frozen and had to be sm 

 at a great loss. Had the shippers had * 

 inspector's certificate in the first place, i 

 would have been a great protection. 



Senator E. D. Smith, of Winona. Ont 

 was strongly in favor of the grantir--- - 

 inspecors' certificates If necessary a 

 inal charge per barrel might be im 

 in connection with each inspection to 

 an undue number of applications for ii, ,._. 

 tion being made. The granting of certij 

 rates would tend to help young grower 

 whose pack was unknown to the tr.-i' 

 gain a quicker acceptance for their fn 



Rev. Mr. Dickson, Rectory Hill. Que. 

 wanted to know if the first inspection woul 

 be final. 



Mr. Lick replied that this would be in 

 possible, as it would lead to many attempt 

 at fraud. Fruit might deteriorate and r« 

 quire to be reinspected. 



The matter was referred to the committe 

 cm resolutions, which later brought in 

 report which was adopted recommending th 

 Government to issue the certificates if ; 

 satisfactory method of doing so could b 

 devised. 



I know of claims in Ontario that hav 

 been standing against railway companie 

 for five years, and for amounts as great a 

 $1,500. One of the powers that should b 

 given to the Dominion Railway Comm: 

 is the right to adjudicate cases that 

 been standing for over three months.—
