establishments to one pound for
each 100 meals served, rather than
for each 60
At the same time, Amendment
No. 7 to Ration Order IL. effective

/, Allotment periods for insti-
tutional users were scaled down
from two months to one month,
and,
g Allotment percentage for Feb
was set at 40 per cent of the
quantity used during the Today
base period.
In administering coffee ration
ing it was found that established
restaurants and others classed as
institutional users" served ap-
proximately 100 meals for each
pound of coffee used. This aver
age reflects the fact that a num-
her CT meals are served without
coffee.
