Less Home Garbage More From Stores
Cedar Rauids residents dumped 43 fewer tons of food into their garbage pails during March compared with a year ago. Commissioner Louis D. Burgos said rationing taught conservation of foodstuffs as the city collected 337.1 tons of garbage versus 380.1 tons last year. Stores contributed 300.8 tons in March this year, up from 212.4 tons in March 1942 due to early handling of fresh fruit and vegetables to supplement rationed foods.
