Just the manner in which the sale
will be conducted will be settled at
the meeting OF City Council tonight.
The question OF selling by the case, or
in smaller quantities. will also be dis
cussed. In most instances the pur-
chaser would buy by the case. As this
sale is intended primarily for the

Of money and will help the class OF
people most in need OF aid. While the
