Bridgeport Dehydrating Plant Nears Operations for City Canners
Bridgeport officials report the dehydrating plant will be ready in days or a week to ten days with equipment arriving already. Committees led by D. Fairchild Wheeler Albert Lavery and F W Von Wettberg push financing for quick installation to aid local gardeners in preserving vegetables and fruit. Despite efforts, a community canning station seems unlikely due to cash needs and delays with War Bureau appropriations, leaving private funding as the probable path to save Bridgeport’s quota for soldiers and families.
