said statement issued by Director
Morse, "orders placed by municinali-
ties and municipal selling agencies
must be in units of carload lots Where
both poultry and pork are in refrigcra-
tion at the same warehouse orders will
be accepted for mixed carloads.
Having been in cold storage. these
frozen products once they are removed
from refrigeration must be disposed of
promptly. Consequently. the War De-
partment cannot afford to ship these
refrigerated products to municipalities
and municipal selling agencies, as it
did other subsistence which has been
sold to the cities, on thirty days CON
signmcnt and take back unsold portions
of orders placed by the cities. The War
Depertment, however, will extend to
municipalities or municipal selling
agencies to which city officials have
given Endorsement credit Of thirty
days on orders placed for these prod
ucts."
Fixed Prices Given
The conditions of resale fixed by the
War Department stipulate thai the
city or its selling agency must agree
to sell these products to the public
at the prices fixed by the War Depart
ment plus a sum sufficient to cover
transportation and other expenses in
cident to rcsclling, which the munich
pality or the selling agency must as
sumo.
The fact that surplus frozen meao
supplies would be made available 10
municipalities was known by DR.. Jona-
tNan c. Day. Commissioner Of Markets.
Or. Day declared that he would be un-
able to purchase the meats on consign-
ment because Of the lack Of cold storage
facilities in the sales dcpots. DR.. Day
said he had been interested in the
plan Of obtaining tho goods on con-
signment and turning them over to
retail butchers TO be sold at a margin
just large enough 10 cover the over
head expenses.
Albert Rosen. president of the
Brooklyn Master ButSher's Association,
is known recently to have suggested the
handling of the meats and poultry
through his chain of stores. Other
butchers have made inquiry from time
to time. According to Dr. Days at
titUde concerning the meats, he is pre-
pared to make them available for local
consumers, provided butchers will aid
in the distribution. DR.. Day is firmly
convinced that the city itself cannot
sell the commodities at its sales
stations.
