The fact that the price of bread has been viltu ally stationary since the Hint of September la ascribed by Mr; Irwin to the stabilizing f prices by the Federal Hialn Corpora tion. 9ono B.umEi.s von city The apportionment of 9000 barrels of lour among Philadelphia bakers at $11.71. barrel was announced b. Chairman 1,. (.! Graff, of the flour distribution committee. The market price of the same flour being 1 11.50 to $13, this represents a saving of ssventy-flve cents to $1.2 on each barrel, according to Mr Iliad. If a steady sup ply of such flour could be counted on as coming to Philadelphia It would certainly count as a factor In reducing the price o" flour, h added The chief alms of the Oov eminent In the bread situation may now be summed up a three: The complete elimination of spec ulation In all foodstuffs entering Into the composition of bicad The control hy licenses of all the bakeries of the count! and the general stabilizing of the prices t all food products over the country. The complete fulfillment of all three of these alms Is looked for CITY MUST-MAKE TEMPORARY LOAN Members of Finance Com mittee Framing Measure to Authorize It $1,200,000 IS SUM NEEDED Members of Councils' Finance Committee are spending today In an efToit to frame end approve a temporary loan large enough to cover salary Items till the end of the year. Xlany supply Items will be left un filled, af the cl'.yis credit Is good enojlgh to Insure "donations" of all supplies needed. The, outside limit or the temporary loan will be $1,200,000, and the moment It I completed it will become a first lien on 1918 revenues and upon the "surplus" tltat Controller Walton shows each year by totaling unexpected revenues under the sur plus head.. As a matter of fact, the end f the first year under the Increased tax rate on realty will show a deficit oftseveral millions. The loan being framed today must be paid back within four mouths from the time It Is actually floated The bill will likely be reported to Counc.ls on Thuiaday and will be pasted at the next legulai meeting.

The temporary loan will be gotten out of the va and the money stretched to meet many needs as well as to pay back to de pleted Items the $400,000 taken for the final payment on the Johnson ait collection, so that the track will be dear for the annual report of Controller Walton Tlie Controller's report this fall will con tain an estimate of 1918 revenues, th amount demanded by the various depait ments for next year and ths tax rate tha would make possible the meeting of the demands.
