births lewis at agincourt on july 23rd 1925 to mr and mrs auin lewis a daughter minion of canada we the undersigned represent to your honorable board 1 that we are growers of tur nips for export to the markets of the united states in which country turnips better known there as ruta- begas are very widely used as a table vegetable 2 that stouffville godawood and ballantrae all in the province of ontario are our stations for load ing 3 that we are desirous of and can very greatly increase our ship ments from these points if we are given as favorable rrcight rates which we do not now have as competing points lying west of tor onto 4 that the freight rates on car load lots of turnips from stouffville and the other stations mentioned are seven cents per cwt higher and moie than that in many instances on all car lots routed to cross on the niagara boundary than from stations west of toronto which are as far and even farther from the niagara boundary than is stouffville thus the rate from stouffville is seven and onehalf cents higher per cwt to buffalo than from points west of to ronto of equal or greater distance from buffalo this higher rate and still higher rates apply to many interior points in the united states though shipments made from both east and west of toronto have a common part of entry on the niagara frontier 5 that while the points west of toronto are nearer the places to which shipments are made when the port of entry is port huron or de troit the rates from stouffville and other points are disproportionately high for instance the rate from stouffville to detroit is 8c per cwt higher than from points lying west of toronto again the rate to louisville ky is eleven and one- half cents higher which is absurd g in the confident expectation that the discrimination we suffer from will be removed by your honor able board on the facto being pre sented to you the growers in the vicinity of stouffville have planted treble the acreage probably this year to market turnips to that plan ted in any former year we therefore ask your honorable board to so adjust these rates that the disadvantage wo are now at shall be removed and justice done in the premises particularly do we stress that we be placed on a basis of equality as to these rates with points west of toronto on all ship ments moving in the usual course to the american markets via ports of entry into the united states situated on the niagara boundary mr magnus mowat of lindsay spent monday in stouffville mrs n e smith and mrs wm harper sr are on a visit to friends in detroit mr alvin
