NO MORE SUGAR CAN
BE- SOLD IN N0GALES
TO TAKE TO MEXICO
New Rule Made by Food Administration
Goes into Effect Today-Strict Enfor-
cement of Regulation will be Enjoin-
ed uDOn Merchants

Beginning today, no more sugar
will be allowed to be sold for
transportation across the line
from Nogales into Mexico.
This order was issued by Act
ing County Food Administrator
Ben ]. Jones. acting upon in
structions from Timothy A. Rior-
dan, federal food administrator
for Arizona.
Some time ago Mr.. Jones
wrote to Mr.. Riordan explaining
that sugar was being taken
across the line from Nogales,
the federal customs service hav-
ing a rule allowing private indi-
viduals to purchase and trans
port into Mexico sugar for fam
lily use in quantities of not more
than five pounds at a time.
He also told Mr.. Riorban that
this rule was being taken advan-
tage of by merchants on the Me-
xican side of the line, who hired
persons of both sexes to make
repeated trips with sugar.
AS sugar that was selling for
9 cents a pound on this side sold
for II cents on the Mexican side,
the merchants paid 5 cents a
pound for taking it across the
line, and then sold it at a profit
of 2 cents a pound over there.
Mr.. Jones had partially met
this situation cutting down the
amount allowed retail dealers in
Nogales to one sack a day, and
in order to supply their home
trade they were compelled to
cut down the sales to people
across he line.
Yesterday Mr.. Jones received
the following telegram from Mr.
Riordan:
Referring to your letter Jun
27. we took up with Washington
the expectation of sugar intt
Mexico, and today received
telegram requesting that WI
prevent sales of sugar going int
Mexico. We have been allowed
100000 pounds of sugar fo
Arizona for July, and canno
allow any more sugar to go acros
the line through sales by mer
chants. Please notify the trade.
Vebal notice was at once sen
to the local dealers, and thi
was followed by formal writer
notices that will reach ther
today.

pounds of sugar to Arizona fo
