WOULD BUY FOODS
IN BULK FOR D. c.
Commissioner Gardeners
Plan for Purchase and Re-
sale of Army Surplus
WILL SIMPLIFY PROBLEM


recommendation to be submitted to
them this afternoon by Commissioner
Gardiner. the District government at
once will purchase out of its miscel-
laneous trust fund several carloads
of surplus Army foods and distribute
them to consumers generally from the
municipal building and all the po-
lice and fire stations. :.
A motion to this effect has been
prepared and will be presented at the
regular board session of the Commits
sioners. It provides for a charge of
5 per cent over the cost of the food
to the District to cover the expense
of handling.
Police and fire captains are au-
thorized by the resolution to employ
responsible persons to handle the
supplies at a compensation not to
exceed 2h per cent Of the total sales
made. The additional ~ per cent is
to be held in the trust fund OF the
District to cover losses and incidental
expenses.
Intended to Simplify Problem.
Commissioners Gardeners motion, if
approved. will simplify greatly the
problem of disposing of the Army
foods. It involves the question of
whether the Commissioners have au-
thority to use the miscellaneous trust
fund for this purpose. Mr.. Gardiner
believes they have and will press this
contention at today's meeting of the
board.
He has other suggestions for reduc-
ing the cost of living here which will
be presented to his colleagues today.
They are in line with the recon-
manufacturers and wholesalers be
required to stamp on all articles the
cost and sale prices.
Mr.. Gardiner expects this after
noon to get a draft of the bill Cor
poration Counsel Conrad H. Syme is
pointment Of a fair price admins
traitor for the District. He then will
determine whether to present his
suggestions for incorporation in the
Syme bill or in a separate measure.
Mr.. Gardeners Views
81 am heartily in favor of legisla-
ton for the District, such as pro-
posed by the President" said the
Commissioner today, which will re-
quire manufacturers to publish the
cost Of manufacture and the price re-
ceived for articles turned out by them,
and also which will require whole
salers to state the purchase and sale
prices of the commodities they handle.
81 would restrict commission men
from being interested in more than
one business-that is, a man who re-
ceives produce to sell on consignment
should not be permitted to have an
interest in another concern doing a
similar business. AS for retailers,
they should be given every encourage
ment to conduct their operations eco
The plan 1 have in mind
for retailers is one that involves their
publishing the percentage basis on
which they do business. A merchant
who does business on a 10 per cent
basis. for example. could publish the
fact, but there should be a law which
could send him to jail If it were dis
covered he had made fraudulent
statement"
