Don't let your building depreciate through neg

A few dollars spent for improvement may return

A board here, a few shingles there, and then"a

State Making Big
Inquiry Into Cars
State Agricultural officials an
nounced to-day that it was probable
that attention of Herbert Hoover
would be called to conditions found
concerning unloaded cars filled with
foodstuffs in Pittsburgh yards as well
as in Philadelphia. The inquiry be
gun at Philadelphia last week was
only part of a series, one of which
has been under way in the Pittsburgh
district for several days. The situ
ation at Scranton, Erie, Harrlsburg
and other places will also be watched
closely. Mr. Hoover will be asked
not only to fix a time for the unload
ing of cars of food, bnt to have the
federal government help the state
government in running down men
who pay demurrage to avoid unload
ing cars and throwing produce on
markets. Tlve State Bureau of Mar
kets has authority to seize cars if
food Is going to waste. A statement
Issued says:
"The Bureau of Markets will take
Immediate steps to correct the con
dition as It exists in Philadelphia and
will ask Food Administrator Herbert
Hoover to set a time limit for hold
ing any food stuffs In cars on sid
ings. It Is likely that five days will
bo asked for a time for potatoes and
perishable vegetables and that ten
days will be the limit allowed for un
loading grain. Another step con
templated is the seizing of stock in
all cars where there is and indica
tion of waste and the enforced stor
age or sale of such produco."
