Two-Cent Increase in Price of Milk
11-CENT MILK IS
PROSPECT HERE
i
Brumbaugh Board Foresees
. Further Advance in Re
tail Price
COWS ARE SOLD FOR BEEF
An Increase In the retail price of milk
to eleven cents a quart Is what Philadelphia
faces because of the growth of tho con
densed milk Industry and because dairy
met) are selling their milch cows m beef.
This was announced today by members
of Governor Brumbaugh's trlstato milk
commission In an unofficial report nfter
an extensive Investigation that began ulien
the price of milk was boosted to nlno cents,
the present price. Two causes were given
First The encroachment of condensed
milk manufacturers, with long-time nrmy
and other contracts, on tho source of milk
supply.
Second. The sale of dairymen's cattle
for beef production because of lack of
profit In the dairy business
Eleven-cent milk would tide over tho
situation, according to Dr. Clyde I- King,
of the University of Pennsylvania and
chairman of tho commission, nnd C. Hen
derson Supplee, a member of tho commis
sion and head of tho Supplee Alderncy
Dairies.
"There Is great danger of n shortngo of
milk," said Doctor King 'The farmers
are not asking for greater prodt. If they
did tho matter could bo adjusted. Hut tho
danger lies In tho fact that they nro quietly
selling their cattle. To prevent a shortngo
In milch cows It would be better for tho
public to pay a reasonable Incrense now
than to faco prohibitive prices later on.
Reports from Individual farmers thus far
received Bhow that cows are being sold
heavily."
Mr. Supplee said that the condensed milk
Industry was growing rapidly nnd was com
peting with the milk dealers In the field
of production, offering New York prices,
which are from one cent to one and one
half cents higher than tho prices which tho
dealers can pay the farmers, considering tho
present retail prices
"The growing condensed milk trade Is
not only encouraged by tho prospects of a
large army, but It encroaches on the city
trade of the dealers," ho s.ild. "Dealers
are unable to compete with the condensed
milk people with the present prices "
Mr. Suppleo also saw grave dangor In
the sale of milch cows, for, ho said, It re
quires two or thiee years to build up mllk
produclng stock.
Doctor King said that a list of questions
was In the hands of the other members of
the commission today and that he expected
commission today and that he expected
replies by tomorrow. It was Intimated that
there may be a second Investigation in an
attempt to find a "way out" of tho situation
caused by the sale of milch cows to butchers
for meat production. Tho general Impres
sion of the commission, It was said, was
that an eleven-cent price would enable the
farmer to produce milk at a profit that
would curtail the sale of dairy animals for
beef.
The situation has become especially acute
in southern New Jersey. Iast year a dally
average of 86,000 quarts of milk arrived at
Cooper's Point, Camden. A great part of
this suppply was consumed In Philadelphia.
This supply has now been very much re
duced. ACQUITTED OF SERIOUS CHARGE

Women and Man

Klnley and Walter W Jost of a charge

leged enticement, and they were acquitted

215 CITY HALL CLERKS
TO GET HIGHER PAY
Ten Per Cent Increase Voted by
Councils' Committee Me
chanics Must Wait
Salary Increases for two hundred and
fifteen City 1In.il clerks wcro approved by
tho Flnanre Committee of Councils this aft
ernoon, but the Increases nskcd for mechan
ics In tho employ of tho city wero held
ovit until next fall.
The men whoso salaries will be Increased
aro men who are now receiving less than
$1000 and the Increases will aerage about
10 per cent, which will cost the city J3C853.
$36,853
Immediately after tho lncreaFo for clerks
wai approved, Charles Scgcr, of the Seventh
Ward, mado a motion thnt all other salary
Increases bo held over until next fall to
gle tho Civil Service Commission tlmo to
Investigate, the necessity of an increase
Fred Schwarz, Common Councilman from
the Forty-fifth Ward, pleaded for .in in-
crease for tho mechanics.
".Men nro leaving the city's employ every
day nnd tho c'.ty Is being crippled," he said.
Chairman Joseph r. Gaffncy tola tno
members of the committee that Increased
salaries could not bo considered becauso
they would cost between $300,000 and $400,-
000 and It was lmposslblo to got tho
revenue
"You had a chance to raise tho tax rate,
raid William McCloskcy. of the Sixteenth
Ward, "but you fixed It at $1.75 nnd now
you see what you aro up ngalnst."
Councllmin Ualzley, of the Thirty-ninth
Ward, warned the committee that unless
they granted tho mechanics an Increaso
many would leave the city.
"If they do," replied Jlr. Gaffncy, "we'll
have to get men to take their places, If they
can't wait."
A new plan to raise money was tried to
day by the committee. They transferred a
loan for other purposes than that for which
It was borrowed. If a certain amount has
been borrowed for a certain purpose and a
balanco Is found, the balance is to be put
to another use This plan will be bubmltted
to City Solicitor Connelly, who will pass on
Its legality
The total needs of the city until the end
of the year aro estimated at $2,400,000.
Tho amount required by department heads
Is augmented by many Items that mu
nicipal financiers deem essential. In this
number Is the appropriation bill that will
provide thi $26,000 needed this year to
start work on tho Pennsylvania Nautical
School, n bill for the creation of which Is
rurly rendy for the Governor's slgnaturo.
C imon Councilman John Ualzley and
many otrfers Interested In the port and
familiar with the demand for. officers for
tho new merchant marine early made a de
mand for the favorablo report on this
me sure Its fate, so far as tho summer
months aro concerned, must be Bottled with
out delay
Another matter of unusual Importance
that will add to tho financial mix-up Is
the beciuest of the lato John G. Johnson of
tho Johnson house, 510 South Broad street,
with Its collection of valuable paintings,
upon condition that the city accept within
six months. The condition makes action
Imperative today or next week, as the city
will bo required to appropriate $25,000 to
.nalntnln the house and pictures. Other
v'se the paintings will pass to the Metro
politan Museum In Now York
As an offset to the apparent shortage
that the city will face the financiers havo
"nest eggs" that are being hold back to tho
last minute In an effort to permit the
Smith administration to make some sort of
a showing In the first year that the city's
added taives and other charges have in
creased the -enues by between $5,000,000
ml $7,000,000.
