City Sanitary Service, ADD NEW UNIT TO PACKING PLANT Continuing the policy of conserva tive growth, noted here over a period of many years, the Rosenberg Broth ers, having reached the limit of the capacity of their old packing house at the Bear Creek. orchards, have start. ed construction of a new unit to their present plant, It was announced yes terday. The original packing house at the orchrrd was located In the Interior 30 years ago. Thirteen years ago It was divided Into three sections, with two sections removed and placed on tne southern Pacific tracks. Each year additional crops have been taken in by Rosenbergs for packing In this oia snea, which necessitated the addi tion of sheds and leantos, to a point, where It, was impossible to construct more additions. The new unit will be 118 feet by 98 feet and will be added to the west side of the present plant. The Rosen bergs hope to make It one of the moit efficient packing plants In the west. Straight line production will be em ployed, giving a total bin-length for each machine of about 00 feet. The plant will have a total capacity of about 800 boxes an hour or about 15 cars in a nine hour period. New pack ing Improvements, conceived by Mr. Lowry and the Rosenbergs, will be In- j traduced. A new cold storage unit Is also be ing constructed under ground at the plant, which will hold about 30 ad ditional cars, thus giving a total of 118 cars cold storage capacity. Discussing the new Improvement yesterday, David Rosenberg said, "our growth has been slow, but, we believe, substantial. Our present plant, we hope, will represent the most modern pear packing plant In the west. Al ways having greatly stressed and em phasized care In handling pears, we feel that our new plant la designed in every detail to handle those perish able fruits as nearly perfect as the very latest developments permit, "I might say that this could be call ed an expansion program In celebra tion of the fiftieth anniversary of the planting of Bear Creek orchards, Just 25 years younger than Oregon, whose birthday will be celebrated at the Dia mond Jubilee this summer."
