BREAD down TO
BOTTOM PRICES
Bakers State That Wilmington is
Getting Cheaper Product
Than Most Cities.

A further reduction in the price Of
bread is not likely, according to infor-
nation gathered this morning from tho
heads of various baking concerns in tho
city In faot, IL was poi nted out bv some
that recent cuts and existing competition
between local manufacturers is not con-
sidered the best thing for Wilmington
II am unable 10 understand how the
bakers in this city arrange their prices"
said one bakery official An authority
on the bread question and well versed on
existing market conditions, he continued:
Personally don't expect to see further
reduction in the price Of bread in Will
mington for ut least four months
THE lowest price paid for -four during
the past month was S917 barrel To-
day 1t has jumped to s1110. The con
tinual changing in the wholesale flour
market makes IL almost impossible to
arrange staple price on bread"
At the Huber Baking Co, Ninth and
Union streets the large loaves Of bread
are selling for IL cents retail or wholesale
20 the dealer cents The large loaves
weigh % ounces. The small pound loaves.
unwrapped, are quoted at cents whole
saie and for the wrapped So cents.
The prices throughout the city at pre-
sent are practically uniform At the Rad
cliff Baking Co Ninth and Poplar streets
the same quotations are noted
Freho fer's Pennsylvania avenue and
Lincoln street predict no early change;
likewise the Federnl Bakeries and the
Wilmington Baking Co The kolb Baking
Co has made similar reductions
II was explained by local baker that
when bread is cut in price the flour market
generally goes up 80 cents on the barrel
Of -four During the past five days -four
has advanced S. Today IL is only 81 so
cheaper than last September or "a cents
cheaper per pound. During that period
bread has dropped four cents
Bakers have more than done their part
during he reconstruction period and have
hit the bottom price when selling at l3
cents the loaf The present reduction
was demand on the part Of the public
and local bakers have taken the lead ln
reducing However il is the belief that
Il a tariff is placed on wheat by Congress
the price of flour will also advance Should
tariff be placed flour Will advance 20
$3.50 and bread 20 II cents the loaf
some predict
At present Wilmington IS receiving
bread at the lowest possible cost In Phila-
delphla and other nearby cities bakers
still retain their war prices and retain

BUREAU
PLANS CUT |N.F0RCE
Six Hundred Woman En-
pIoyes to Lose Jobs July
Is, Director Says.

Reduction of the operating force of
the bureau of engraving and printing
will begin on July Is. when approx
dismissed from the service, according
to James L. Wilmeth. Married women
will be the first to go. then single
girls who are not entirely dependent
on themselves and then others until
the necessary number are eliminated.
Director Wilmeth said today that he
was trying to make the cuts where
they would hurt least, and to that end
was having inquiries made among the
members of the force affected by the
impending discharge to determine
their status Of dependency.
OF course, efficiency will be the
basis on which some Of the discharges
are figured, and where there are peo-
pie who have shown inefficiency they
will be selected rgardless of their de-
pendent status.
War Work Now Done.
1t was pointed out that the printing
of the bond issues and other work
incident to the war was completed.
and that the cut was made necessary
to get the force back to normal as
quickly as possible. Many of the en-
ployes to be discharged have a
temporary status and came into the
service under various executive or
ders issued during the war;
No printers are to be affected by the
proposed lay-off. practically all being
woman helpers. All the discharges
will be in the mechanical or operating
branches of the bureau, it was said.
Efforts Made to Avoid Cut,
Since March. according to the di.
rector, efforts have been made to get
the force back to normal, SO that it
would not be necessary to make dis
charges. No appointments have been
made to the operating force sinc e
March, and the 500 vacancies which
have occurred since that time have
not been filed. If this had not been
done it would have been necessary to
make cut of 1.100 at this time.
The reduction Of 900 on July is
will bring the force on q normal
basis for current work and Director
Wilmeth said today that he did not
expect that it would be necessary to
make any-large cuts after this,
Necessary reductions will be taken
care Of by vacancies which will he
created by people leaving for various
reasons.

PRESENT COMMISSION
OPPOSES ZONE SYSTEM
Members Consider That Measured
Service Is 1mpracticable for
Street Cars.

|. The Public Utilities Commission, as
now constituted. will not adopt a zone
system Of street car fares. it was re-
liably indicated at the District building
today.
Aside from the theoretical justice Of
charging the passenger who rides three
miles more than the patron who is car
ried a mile, II is understood that men,
bers of the commission regard measured
service as impracticable for street cars.
There are many practical phases Of
the situation. which, it is pointed out.
tend to offset the fairness of measured
service as a theory.
The growth of the city beyond the
first zone would come almost to a
standstill. 1t is argued. If builders and
home buyers knew two fares would be
required to reach the outlying sec
tions.
This curtailment of suburban de-
velopment would result in further
congestion of living accommodations
M the Arat> zone. opponents Of the
zone system say.
Announcement by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company that ii
will propose a zone system of fares
is expected to bring out a record at
tendance of citizens at the rate hear
ing, which opens in the board room
of the District building at 1890
o'clock tomorrow morning.
