 city from the government it would be necessary for the city to hold special | meeting in order to make an appFopri- | ation sufficient to pay for any goods | and expense of handling. That it l would be difhcuit to secure the kinds | of food in such quantities and varie- l ties that would form a benefit to the | citizens of this city.
 We further find that the U- s. post 1 office department has made arrange ments whereby any citizen may secure any of the surplus stock of foods in the hands of the government by giving l orders either at the postoffice or to any mail carrier. and on payment of the government price together with the the point of shipment to their home. This charge is five cents for the first pound and one cent for each additional pound.
 We therefore recommend that no ac- ton be taken by the city of Williman- tic and that the citizens or groups of citizens be urged to purchase through the postofffce department.
 Respectfully submitted.
