ALDERMEN
Council To Regulate
Bakers With New
Ordinance
LABEL MUST TELL
WEIGHT OF LOAF

Detroit bakers who have been re-
ducing the size OF bread loaVes and
at the same time increasing the
price are TO be more regidly regu-
lated under the terms OF an ordi.
nance amendment that will be
adopted by the common council
Tuesday night.
Aldermen sponsoring the amend.
ment are angered by the tactics OF
several OF the large baking com
psnies OF the city.
They say there IL an unwritten
agreement between the council and
the bakers that the price shall not
be changed. the alderman having
given the companies, three years
ago, the privilege OF varying the
size Of the loavss provided that each
was labeled with its exact weight
or late the baking companies have
been decreasing the size OF the
loaves. boosting the price, and also
have neglected TO label the weight.
the aldermen say.
Under the terms OF the amend
ment bakers may not sell any bread
unless Il is in loaves OF one pound,
two pounds or four pounds. and each
loaf must bear a label showing It's
weight.
Several weeks ago smaller baking
companies expressed approval OF
such regulation. but the large
companies baked. Aid. John A.
Kronk. OF the Sixteenth ward, will
introduce the amendment
Three years ago a 4S-ounce loaf
OF bread sold in Detroit for ~ cents.
Loaves Of "a ounces sold for one
half that amount. Later the large
loaves were reduced 10 ~ ounces
for the same price. then to 40, and
then 80 ounces. Then the bakers
adopted a 32-ounce loaf that sold for
IA cents both in the bakeries and
stores. Now the 24-ounce loaf re
tails at II and IL cents, whereas
three years ago II was FIVE and sir
