PRICE OF MILK TO BE RAISED
0ne-Cent Increase Slated in State Monday, De-
 cernber I

Retail merchants here disclosed yesterday that the price of all grades of milk will be boosted by one cent per quart on December l. Respon- sihle for the rise, dealers assert, are new price orders issued Monday hy State Milk Administrator Donald Q. Hammerherg. These allow an ad- vance of three-Quarters of q cent per quart of Gloss l milk to farmers In the Waterbury area.
 The move was made tmpeTatsva, distributors said, because of in- creased costs of operation, and the fact that route men work on 8 per- eentage basis. With the farmers in- crease, the deaieys' margin of profit would be wiped out, if the same per- centage arrangement with youtemen obtained even though the cost to the distributor had risen.
 The average price of Grade B milk h this city Is lS cents per quart. The advance will bring the figure to i6 cents. with 0kher grade affected h the saxae ratio
