A one cent rise in the price of
milk in the Wilmington area is ex-
pected on October 1, following the
order of the Pennsylvania Milk
Control Commission for a similar
increase at that time in the Phila-
delphia area.
A boost of two cents had been
expected, but the commissions rul-
ing limited the upward adjustment
to penny. Wilmington and Phila-
delphia prices are usually the
same, since dairies in both sections
obtain their milk from the same
territory.
The extra cent would bring the
retail price of grade A milk to 21
cents a quart.
