NEW SUGAR REGULATIONS

County Food Administrator John Eger has received the following compiunication from State Food Administrator Barnard, which is selfexplanatory : BULLETIN NO. 133. July 2, 1918. Sugar Hoarding. The sugar is disappearing. The sugar permit for canning makes hoarding easy. This must be stopped There is in sight sufficient sugar for all legitimate needs if it is fairly distributed. In order to equalize distribution and prevent hoarding you will call in all sugar permits for canning purposes now in the hands of your grocers. You will require all persons who need sugar for preserving purposes to apply to you or your authorized deputy for permission to purchase sugar. You will then issue a sugar permit for the amount of, sugar required, not exceeding 25 pounds, dated and signed by you or your deputy. Mail order permits must also be O.K.’d by you. We wish to cause no purchaser unnecessary inconvenience. You will therefore appoint a depuyt in each city and town who will receive applications and issue sugar permits. Notify your dealers that they must sell no sugar for preserving purposes except upon a sugar permit bearing the signature of a County Federal Food Administrator or of a duly authorized deputy. Dealers will be held ’responsible for sales of sugar upon permits bearing forged signatures. The. signed permits must be returned to you promptly as in the past. . Insist upon strict compliance with all regulations. Very, truly yours, H. E. BARNARD, Federal Food Adm. for Indiana.
