sioner Purcell will recommend that
the enforcement of the regulations be
deferred for a month or more in order
THAT the bakeries may install the new
machinery which will be necessary to

Purcell laid stress on the necessity Of
wrapping bread and stamping the

loaves Of standard weight. He de-
clared that weights now vary greatly.
some tipping the scales at twelve

claim was made by Norfolk bakers
Yesterday that loaves sold for 10 cents

though there is no standa rdized size.

carefully scrutinized these days Much
of the opposition to wrapped brea Il

Object TO Wrapping Bread.
Objection to the wrapping of bread
and the stamping of the weight on it
was made by many OF the bakers dur

commended that tho combining Of the
gases coming from the loaf by a wrap
