Consider Loaf Size Cut ln Saint John

SAINT JOHN. N. ll. (CP)-A meeting of consumers. bakers and city councillors is expected to be held here Oct. 9 to discuss a proposed four ounce reduction in the loaf size of bread with a wuesponding one cent price re- ductlon.

City council decided on the meeting Tuesday after deferring action on a letter from four bak- eries asking the council to ap- prove a change in city laws regulating the bread size. If ac- cepted the loaf would be reduced to 20 ounces from 24 and the price would revert to I9 cents.

Councillor W. K. Crsig said he didn't like the proposal. The bak- eries suggeation represents an it per cent decrease in weight with only a five per cent de- crees in cost, he said. The bak- mies maintain the weight reduc- -ttu would facilitate bread pro-
