GROCERS CONCERNED AT
PRICE LIST GIVEN
Declare They Cannot Sell Here
At Such Figures And Should
Be Consulted.

Quite a discussion has arisen among
the grocers concerning the so-called
Fair Price List" recently published
in these columns, and sent this paper
by the Food Administration and the
local representative.
The grocers express concern that
they are not consulted when the price
list is fixed up. They declare they
can not sell groceries at these prices
here when they have to pay the cost
of freight and hauling, often loss by
freight, etc.
a number of local grocers had a
get-together meeting yesterday after
noon discussing the matter, and the
ultimatum was they must be consult
ed when the Fair Price List" is r
ranged for publicity.
