Food Administrator Bulla.
more Calls Attention to
Rules Governing Fed
eral-Licensed Bakers.
DOES NOT SET PRICE

Food Administrator Bullamore started
his drive to preserve and control the
bread supply OF Kenosha County by
restating to-day the rules and regula-
lions which are to govern all federally
licensed bakers in the city. Since De-
cember 10th every commercial baker,
including hotels, restaurants and clubs,
which consume more than ten barrels of
any flour or meal per month, have been
required to have federal license and
the rules which are to govern these IL
censes have recently reached Admins
traitor Bullamore. These are, in large
part, being made public to-day in order
that the public and bakers both may
know what is expected in war times.
Administrator Bullamore is having
little trouble in getting the bakeries
proper to secure federal licenses but
he is calling special attention to the
fact that hotels, restaurants and wo-
mems exchanges, who do their own
baking but sell their products over the
counter are also included in the ruling
and must get licenses if their volume of
business demands it. This, however,
does not apply to any state, county or
city institution, or to any hospital, sani-
tarium or charitable organization. Each
license will be assigned federal num-
Der, which the baker need not put on
his bakery products but which he must
use in all reports and contracts.
The Food Administration, either Of
the United States or Of the State on
Wisconsin has not as yet fixed any
price at which bakery products must
be sold, but it has said that they must
not be sold at more than a reasonable
profit. The national administration has
not issued any regulations regarding
the wrapping of bread but this will
not nullify the city regulations in re-
gard to this detail of the bakery bust
ness.
Food Administrator Bullamore has
selected from the large number of rules
those which are especially applicable to
Kenosha bakers and which Kenosha
bakers must follow. These are:
Wholesale bakers shall discontinue
the practice Of allowing the return of
unsold bread of any kind. Under this
rule all returns of bakery products to
the licensee or allowances for unsold
| bakery products, no matter under what
guise or arrangement, are forbidden.
The license number should be placed
on every contract, order, acceptance of
order, invoice, price list and quotation
issued by the hcensee relating to food
commodities under license. Delivery
slips sent to customers with their daily
orders must bear the Food Administra-
| tion license number of the hcensee and
this number should appear on all pur-
chase slips that are given to customers
over the counter.
Rules require that bread be mann
| featured in the units of the following
weights: / pound, IL pounds, 2 pounds,
pounds, pounds and AZ pounds and
any other weight of even pounds or any
weight into which ~ pounds may De
divided without leaving any re-
mainder. Units of less than one pound
cannot be baked by baking licensees.
This rule does not prohibit the baking
of pans of rolls of the units conform
to the weight requirements. One re-
gulation specifies that special orders
for. rolls that weigh less than one ounce
or more than three ounces cannot be
filled.
| In discussing the rules, to-day, Aa-
administrator Bullamore, declared that he
would see to it that all rules and re-
gulations were kept in Kenosha County
and that there would be no exceptions.
Persistent violators are warned that a
revocation of the license is the penalty
set by the food administration. HThe
rules are made according to one Off
cial, "with an idea of controlling the
flour supply and If the bakers keep the
spirit as well as the letter Of the laws
they viii be performing patriotic
duty. 1t is up to the public to CO.
operate by not making unusual demands
upon the bakers of Kenosha.o
In regard to the sale of flour Admin
istrator Bullamore has been notified
| that -four should be sol. in towns and
cities in eighth to quarter barrel guam
titles and in rural and farm comnuni-
ties in quarter to half barrel quantities.
Any advertisements tending to induce
consumers to increase their purchases
OF -four and sugar during the present
national crises are decidedly against
public policy. The public is asked to
