NEW FOOD RULES
GO INTO EFFECT
The Territorial Food Adminis
trator advises that “effective Nov
I ember first, on account of better
j shipping facilities, three pounds of
I sugar per person per month will be
• allowed.*.’
l Dealers and the Commission com
j misary will please sell accordingly.
i using the ration cards already issued;
i this will merely necessitate a cal
i culation by the dealer based on the,
.
i number of persons covered by the1
i ration card, at three pounds per
| month, which will be fifty per cent1
more than the allowance originally
shown.
In the mess houses and restaurants j
the measure for the table use will
remain unchanged, as it has been ■
found that the amount of sugar
used for cooking purposes consider
ably exceeds the original estimate
; for that purpose.
The Local Food Administrator
; sttaes that for average consumption
of sugar, per individual, those who
| eat at the messes and restaurants
I probably will still have a bit the
I best of it
! Revised instructions will be mail
■ ed direct to dealers and Commission
•officials at the earliest possible
1 moment.

TOWNSITE RECEIVES
FORFEITURE NOTICES
| In the mail last night, the town
jsite office received , a list of for
, feiture notices, which the General
Land Office in Fairbanks has mailed
!t0 Nenana townsite lot purchasers.
The townsite management wishes
to advise those who intend paying
I these installments, to do so at once
and avoid complications and finan
jdal penalties, if at all possible to
j ‘io so.
Those who may yet be in doubt
; as to whether or not they desire
to retain their purchased lot, and
who are waiting to see just what
the new assessment figures will be,
are invited to call at the townsite
office for information, between 1
and 5 p. m.
It will be impossible to have the
new notices out before November
15, and it may be even later in
November.
These new notices will give each
individual an exact statement of ac
count as to his particular lot. and
will enable him to estimate future
payments very closely. This refers
to the townsite assessments, not to
the installments on the purchase
price, which latter remain the same
each year until full payment is ac
1 eomplished.
The preparatory work in the town
site office is far enough along so
that those who desire information
can be given figures that will be
almost exact, and 'which may help
them in deciding in regard to paying
the installments.
The townsite manager believes
that an examination of the figures
will convince the great majority
of property holders of the advisa
bility of holding their property; and
it is desired to give these figures
to everyone interested as soon as
possible.
Purchasers are urged to attend to
this matter at once.
