State regulation of the handling
of milk in the New York-New
Jeisey area, three public meet
ings have been held by the De
partment Such meeting were in
session for a total of 17 days
(July 18-22, Oct 4-7, and Nov.
14-23)
“A ‘determination was made
on Oct. 21, 1955, that the maxi
mum additional terntoiy (out
side the New York marketing
area) for which new or revised
regulation would be considered
at a public hearing is the terri
tory within the New Jersey coun
ties of Bergen, Essex, Hudson,
Hunterdon, Middlesex, Mon
mouth, Morns, Ocean, Passaic,
Somerset Sussex, Union, and
Wairen, and the New York
(counties of Dutchess, Orange,
Putnam, Kookland, Sullivan, and
Ulster
“The question considered, at
the last public meeting (con
cluded on Nov 23) was whether,
for purposes ojf a subsequent
notices of hearing, the handling
of milk in the additional terri
tory should be regulated (a) in
combination with the present
New York milk marketing area
under a single order, or (b) by
means of one or more separate
new orders The information pre
sented at these meetings has
been reviewed and analyzed-
“I have given very careful con
sideration to this complicated
problem and have concluded that
recognition must be'given to the
following principles "in establish
ing any new or revised regula
tion for the territory under con
sideration.
“l- The proximity of North
ern New Jersey to metropolitan
New York and the fact that there
is to a considerable degree a
common source of supply, make

This chart shows- the general nature of

preceding 30 days. Precipitation is express
ed in three classes: light, moderate, and

determine these classes are obtained from

“2. The apparent desire and
determination of certain groups
of producers and- handlers for
one or more separate marketing
orders, and the apparent desire
and determination of- other
groups of producers and handlers
for a single marketing order for
the entire marketing area consti
tute differences only as to means
of accomplishing an objective
rather than disagreement regard
ing the basic objective of provid
ing orderly marketing in the en
tire 'area-
“3. The legitimate interests
and obligations of various pro
ducer groups must be-recognized
and provided for regardless of
whether regulation is by one
order or moreMthan one order
“ 4 Among the interests of
New Jersey producers is the
recognition of any natural econo
mic advantages accruing from
nearness to market and any bet
iter adjustments they may have
made in fitting their patera of
production to market needs As
sociated with these interests is
the need o assume a responsibi
lity for carrying the surplus con
nected with the fluid milk supply
fdr Northern New Jersey.
“5. Among the interests of
producers now under the New
York order is the recognition
that they should not be requir
ed to carry the surplus for
Northern New Jersey withont
the benefits that accrue from
sales of fluid milk there, and
that they should not be sub
jected to chaotic marketing
condiions which might result
from ill-conceived Federal re-.
gulation. On the other hand,
they have the obligation of
supporting the type of addi
tional Federal regulation which
would protect the legitimate
interests of the additional pro
ducers to whom such regula
tion would apply.
“6 Either a comprehensive
order or a separate order fo(r
New Jersey must be devised so
as (a) to insure that producers
under either type of order carry
the surplus associated with their
fluid outlets, and (b) to achieve
the required stability through
out the emre metropolitan milk
shed wihout forcing disorderly
and abnormal maneuvering of
supplies and outlets-

The nation’s business ‘schools

accordance with such principles
and which are in one of the

production to market outlets, and
(b) for solving marketing prob
