FOOD SUPPLY
SURVEY GIVEN,
MANY CITIES!
— !
Several Localities Are Now
Out, While Others Are
Running Short
Latest reports on food supplies
in eleven communities in the Ter-'
ritory received by the Governor’s j
office indicate that towns where j
the shortages are most acute are j
those accustomed to regular and |
relatively frequent transportation. |
Reports from communities accus
tomed to stocking up for longer
periods reveal that their supplies
are fairly adequate for their own
use, but not of sufficient quantity,
to stand anything beyond the nor- j
mal demand from outside the par
ticular communities.
From Seward
From Seward, Mayor D. C. Brown
ell telegraphed the Governor’s of -1
fice that there was no shortage of;
food yet, but they hoped they ;
would get meat, eggs, onions, soon.
Mayor Brownell reported that 22
reputed government employees were;
in Seward trying to get out of|
town. These “are out of town peo- j
pie, some from Palmer,” he said, j
Additional government employees, j
now out of work, would bring the
total up to 40 in need of transpor-i
tation out of Seward, he added. {
At Kodiak
Mayor W. J. Erskine at Kodiak
wired that he estimated the supply
of essential food and clothing on1
hand would last a month, probably
longer. This, he said, was based
on the assumption that there would
be no unusual demand on Kodiak
from outside.
