PRICE OF BREAD.

To the Editor. Sir,—Still it remains at the top-lad-der price. Now the trams are running our city fathers would be conferring a benefit on their ratepayers if they considered the advisability of starting a municipal city bakery. A stranger coming to this town would think ail the bakeries belonged to one firm, as they all retail at the one price. This price was fixed when flour was many pounds in ;C s. el, per ton more than it is now. Several farmers in Taranakl cannot get more than is 2d per bushel for their wheat, although it cost them fully Ss to buy the seed. Wheat is practically 40 per cent, lower than when the New Plymouth bakers fixed their bread prices. I am quite aware that wages have risen and that labor is scarce, but these hardships do not warrant the present outrageous charge per loatf. Will some councillor with a bit of backbone bring the matter up or convene a public meeting to discuss a remedy?—l am, etc., FITZROY.
