The war department has released more than 50 million pounds of sugar for sale to the public in recent months, easing an alleged sugar famine. The army now operates on a substantial reserve as controversy continues.
Sugar reserves for the army are down to less than two and a half months with rationing evident from top to bottom. A War Department survey led by Secretary Baker found about 25 000 tons could be released in an emergency and this relief was sent to the public via the Sugar Equalization Board. Without these releases the public would have faced a sharper shortage this fall. Final probate actions, speeding fines, an insurance visit, building permits for three dwellings, and a sheriff’s return from Touchet complete the day’s notes.
