MEAT RATIONING
WORKING CLASSES SEVERELY AFFECTED.
OPINION OF BUTCHERS. LONDON, February 7. ’ Butchers express the opinion that the meat ration which’ is to operate on Marell 11 will hit the working classes severely. The allowance means a little under 111 b of meat weekly at present average prices. There are practically no supplies of the cheaper cuts, which the Government saya should be bought. A family of three persons is able to obtain the following for the total value of its coupons: Four pounds of best English sirloin or eight pounds of boiling cuts from best home-killed beef: five pounds of imported sirloin or 10 pounds of imported boiling cuts of beef. Similar quantities of mutton and lamb are also available.
