SURPLUS Food MAY
GOAT COST PRICES
Conference to Consider Plan
for Utilizing War Depart
ment Supplies.

Surplus food supplies of the War
ton citizens at cost prices, IL a con-
ference to be held tomorrow between
John G. McGrath. president of the
citizens food council, and District
Commissioner Gardiner is productive
of a plan which both officials hope
can be worked out for reducing the
cost Of living here.
Similar steps are being taken in
Baltimore, with a prospective saving
to consumers of 35 per cent. The en-
terprise in that city will be conduct
ed as a municipal affair, as the board
of estimates is expected to provide
funds with which to purchase the
Army supplies. The understanding
with the War Department is that any
foods not sold by the city will be re-
turned to the government without loss
to the municipality.
This plan Is not possible in Wash
ington, as the District government
has no fund that can be used for the
purpose.
Suggests Citizens Fund.
But Mr.. McGrath believes that a
citizens fund can be raised that will
accomplish the same results. He will
propose to Commissioner Gardiner
that mass meeting be called in the
District building and donations by
private citizens requested for a pur-
chasing fund to be used in obtaining
the supplies. The subscriptions, of
course, would be returned to the
donors after the supplies had been
disposed of.
A similar arrangement was worked
out satisfactorily in Park View, where
Mr.. McGrath conducted a successful
community cooperative buying plan.
One hundred citizens subscribed ten
dollars each and this purchasing fund
of a thousand dollars enabled the
community to establish credit and do
extensive buying. The fund has since
been returned to the donors.
Mr.. McGrath's Proposal.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. McGrath
that if number of citizens will lend
81 900 or less each a sufficient fund can
be raised that will finance the pur-
chase of War Department supplies for
the benefit of the citizens generally.
The Commissioners are interested in
the suggestion. and 1t wae stated to-
Of the board room for such a meeting
as Is proposed by Mr.. McGrath.
Among the excess supplies held by
the War Department are such COM
modities as canned beans, corn, peas,
pumpkin. vinegar, -four, bacon, corned
beef, corn meal. sirup and tomatoes.
According to Baltimore officials the
prices on these commodities will
average fully 35 per cent less than
the cost Of the same goods in the
Baltimore markets.
