The gradual rehabilitation of officers

Dealers Not Alarmed at
Release of Army Meat
Millions of Pounds Probably
Will Be Offered N. Y. Public
After State Purchases

Reports that the government intends
to release for local consumption mill
ions of pounds Of meat in New York
City warehouses only mildly intereste d
food dealers here yesterday.
The first concrete indication of the
governments intention of releasing
this food was given when Timothy
E. McGarr, head of the purchasing
bureau of the State Hospital Commits
sion, was invited to inspect the meat,
According to the invitation to Mr.. Nc
Carr, the government has in storage
here 56,o00,oo0 pounds of bacon, 3D.
100000 pounds of corned beef and H.
100000 cans of roast beef and H.
Carr, according to a report from AL
bany, conferred with Controller Travis,
who authorized him t., send a steward
to the city to look over the meat.
1t is understood that after the state
authorities inspect the food and make
their purchases, it will be ADVERT 3ed
for public sale. This would be in ac-
cordance with the governments recently
announced policy Of disposing of the
army surplus at any price in an en-
deavor to bring down the cost of living.
Dealers yesterday pointed out that
the food held by the army is chiefly
canned goods and not popular. They
declared that while the stores were
ia 1ly large, they would simply bring
down the prices of canned goods for a
few days and in no way affect other
comm ODDITIES.
