COUNTY PRICES
The olliee of the Counly Food
Administrator has been making
an investigation of the prices
charged by dealer of Washing
tun County for Maple commodi
ties at retail.
The reports from a number of
dealers in the various towns in
the county have been taken and
an average made of the prices
which are shown tin the follow
ing list :
It is the opinion of the olliee
that, considering the present
jobbers cost, the prices named
represent a fair profit to the re
tailer and it is not its opinion
that prices in excess of those
shown by this average should be
exacted.
There are of course instances
where dealers must pay drayage
costs from railroad points or in
other special instances where
these prices might be inadequate.
The olliee gives county dealers
Ihe credit to say that on the ma
jority of articles these average
prices are below those quoted by
the Portland Price Committee.
