BUTCHER IS ACCUSED
Of EXCESSIVE CHARGES
Cited to Explain Why He Sold
Steaks at Forty Cents
a Pound.

Because he was accused of charging
excessive prices for meats a local
butcher has come to grief with the
District food administration, and has
been notified to appear for hearing.
This dealer is charged by the ad-
ministration with charging 40 cents
pound for steaks which his invoices
disclosed cost him only IS cents
pound. This is the first time a Dealer
exclusively in meats has been hailed
before the local administrator to ex-
plain an alleged profiteering charge
To Deal Rigidly With Offenders
In making known this case today
the local administrator explained that
the administration has been unusual.
ly fair and generous in its dealings
with storemen, but that in the future
all deliberate attempts at price boost
ing will be severely dealt with. He
declared that the placing, of black
boards with meat quotations upon
them in all the stores has not only
proved helpful and popular with both
the dealers and the public, but already
price reductions and has served as a
strong check on profiteering.
Result of Inspections.
The administrator declared that much
of the improvement in the local situation
is due to his inspection force and that
any dealer discovered charging prices
considered unnecessarily high will i'm.
mediately be called upon for an explana-
ton. Unless the mans innocence is well
established there will be no reprimand-
ing or threats. Heavy penalties only
will follow in the case of guilt.
