by members Of City Council ns a com
mittee Of the whols last night on the

timated at the close of a two-hour dis
cussion on the subject that Council to-
night would consider the recommends
ton made on Monday last by the
Mayors Advisory Board that the city
purchase food supplies and sell the same
at cost to citizens
Last nights conference was ar
ranged at the request Of Councilman
McDermott. II was expected that
the recommendations of the Mayors
Cabinet will be approved and sent to
Dover for the consideration OF the
Legislature. Councilman McDermott
last night suggested that in case of
a necessity he thought the Mayor and
Council should be authorized to seize
provisions in stores and 70 sell the
same at cost
He said he hard heard of a dealer
in this city who had three carloads
of potatoes sidetracked here and was
keeping stoves in the cars to keep
the potatoes from freezing and was
paying storage on them to hold them
for higher prices. Mr.. McDermott said
he understood the dealer had been
holding the potatoes for three weeks,
but had no definite information on this
report. He thought the government
should put an embargo on the expor-
tation OF all foodstuffs 90 foreign coun-
tries in order TO keep the edibles In
this country for the people here.
Councilman Draper thought II this
people would refuse 20 pay the higi
prices asked the producers woulS
make some reduction in their de
mands. He said there is not a com
mission man in the city who has 20l
bushels Of potatoes, and many o
them have searched the surrounding
country and offered big prices for 20
tatOes. but the farmers will not sell
He said the Council haG no authorit,

il would be right for the city to en-
gage trucks to go out into the countr.

power the Council president to name
