that loaf bread is usually sold in WASHINGTON at
3 cents per pound. and that cents is noted as
reduction. Here the ordinance rate for the best

As a rule the cost Of meats. groceries, yege-
tables. &c, is about the same here as in the
District cities. but rents and servants wages are
much lower. The water rent is higher because
the water works here were built at private cost
and not as in the District. by the government
