Public Pays Bills With No
Complaint of High
Costs.
OVERHEAD IS SMALL

Prices charged by many restaurants,
cafeterias and hotel cafes in this city
for fresh vegetables, which, during the
past two months, have been at the low
est wholesale price they will touch dur
ing the year, have not been reduced
from the figure of the months when
they were not so plentiful and the pub
lie continues to pay the freight.
The Better Business Bureau and public
authorities empowered to look into the
matter of overcharging have received
practically no complaints.
while we have had some few reports
on prices during the G. A. r. convention
as a general rule we hear nothing about
restaurant charges" said G. f. olwin,
secretary manager of the Better Bust
ness Bureau.
"As a general thing the bureau does
not handle cases Of profiteering, as this
subject is covered by the Lever act and
therefore the people have redress through
public officials"
But public officials receive only scat
tered complaints, indicating that per-
sons who pay so cents for a portion Of
tomatoes. which by the widest strength
of Imagination could not be considered
as costing wholesale more than three or
four cents, and like prices on other
dishes, as revealed by survey made
by toe Times several days ago, are
either satisfied to pay high prices or are
