Washington to Save on Army Food Surplus Purchases
Washington could save about 100000 dollars on army food by buying surplus rations, War Department experts estimate. Surplus scraps would provide three tenths of a pound of bacon per person and more, with prices about 25 percent below retail. Population of Washington around 1,250,000 means substantial local savings. Officials anticipate 100000 or more dollars saved, plus further gains from sale of surplus army blankets and clothing.
