Following this report a motion was made and carried that

 was presented by the chairman, (i. A. Drew of Greenwich. 



The standing committee on Markets and Transportation 

 also reported as follows : 



Report of the Committee on Markets and Transpor- 

 tation. 



J. NoRRis Barnes, Chairman : The Committee has really 

 very little to report this year. Possibly with the exception 

 of the strawberry crop, everything was taken care of in our 

 local markets last season. Except for the fact that our Rail- 

 road Company is making a move that seems very favorable 

 to future needs, I would feel that there was not a word to 

 say. I understand, after a talk with the Superintendent of 

 the road, that the Company is buying a large number of 

 refrigerator cars of the very latest pattern, and he informs 

 me that anyone wishing this service for perishable products 

 mav have these cars without extra expense — the shipper to 

 supply the ice. This is an important item of news to the 

 fruit growers of Connecticut, and perhaps the strawk.erry 

 growers may be able to make use of these cars.
