Fruit Dealers Met In The Council Chamber--Various Clauses In The Act Considered -- The Duty of The Inspectors. A meeting of the fruit dealers of the city was held in the council cham ber last evening to hear two govern ment inspectors--Elmeér Lick, of Osh awa, and A. MoNeill, of Walkerville speak of the fruit marks' act, regul ating the packing and marking of fruit in the prowince. There were pre sent: H. 8. Dyde, E. Rees, A. J. Rees, James Crawford, H. J. Lyons, W. H. Carnoveky, Joseph Hiscock, alder- man Pehan and W. J. Crothers. Ald eman Behan was appointed chair man. Mr. Lick, in addressing the meet ing, stated the act was passed be cause there was too much frand in the packing of fruit, not alone for foreign svipment, but also for domes tiv use. The design of the act was to do away with fraud. It was not a hardship on any person. No one who does right need ever fear any law in this country. The speaker would leave it to Mr. McNeill wo elucidate the de tails of the act and its workings. Mr. McNeill said that he had been lately addressing grocers' association meetings all over western Ontario, and the act was well received every where. The act cannot be used to make, impose or break a bargain be- tween buyer and seller; but simply to iugpose a fine for frand. The dealers have nothing to win by crooked work. They wanted a staple package, and no subterfuge about it. The act was also in the interest of the grow- or of fruit, . Mr. MeNeill then explained the vari ons clauses . of the act, copies of which were supplied to those present. The only fruits that did not come un der the provisiones of the act were cranberries and wild fruit. The . act also applies to lemons. Messars. Hiscock and Crawford pointed out that many of the lemons recvived were fraudulently packed, the bottom of eases. being filled with fruit of marble size. l his should be rewedi ed. Mr. McNeill replied that the con signee of the fruit could. be punished ander the act. Information could, be lmid against the importers. Mr. Dyde suggested sending copies of the act to packers in Italy and other places. This was considered a good iden. Mr. Crawford advocated publishing a synopsis of the act in the local pa pers; so that farmers may be able to learn of the law. , Mr. Lick expressed a desire (o meet the farmers and ex plain matters to them. Mr. Hiscock also put in a wora for the newspapers; the act should be advertised in the press. The principal clause in the act, was clause No. 7, which is as follows: " No person shall sell, or offer, ex pose or have in. his possession for sale, any frit packed in any package in which the faced or shown surface gives a false representation of the contents of such package: and it shall be considered a false represemtation when more than fifteen per cent of such fruit is substantially smaller in size than, or inferior in grade to, or different in variety from, she faced or shown surface of such package." n response to a question, Mr. Me- Neill stated that the inspector was not obliged to go to a place where a complaint was laid, though he would come as soon as possible. All the in- spector could do was to lay informa: tion against the man who was com- mitting fraud. The inspector could also mark a box or barset * falsely marked," if they were marked No. 1 or No. 2, and did not come up to the standard. The only redress would pe in a civil court. This struck the dealers as very queer. Mr. Dyde wanted to know why a local inspector could mot be appoint od; - this was a big fruit growing coun y. Mr. McNeill stated that this question was one which came up at each meet ing. This, however, was not prac ticable at present, but a policeman might act. Even Toronto aid not have a special inspector. Mr. Crawford thought this was a government business, and that no town or city should bo asked to inter fere. There should be inspectors at every shipping port to see that only good fruit went out of the country. At the suggestion of the dealers, Mr, McNeill stated that he would apprise the minister of agriculture of the meeting's wish, expressed in the form of the following resolution: "That the government be petition- ed to give fruit inspectors power to act af veferee in all cases of disputes between buyer apna seller, and that his decision be final." This was moved by J. Crawford, seconded by J. Hiscock, and unanimously adopted. Mr. Hiscock moved a vote of thanks to inspectors Lick and McNeill for the valuable information they gave the i motion was adopted, 1 Rook 3 SPORT IN GENERAL.
