Stale Fire Warden Sherman
Brockwell said this provision would

the necessity of calling each room
individually.
Watchman Service
Another provision of the law
specifies (hat every proprietor or
keeper of any hotel two or more
stories high, or designed to provide
20 or more rooms for sleeping
accommodations, must provide
watchman service, utilizing a stand
ard watch clock system. Every floor
and corridor must be inspected at
least once each hour between 10
p.m. and (i a.m. In lieu of watch
man service hotels may be equip

systems approved by the state in

Automatic sprinkler systems
must be installed in all hotels more
than three stories high, if the in

uty fire chiefs feel that such build
ings do not have ample and ade
quately protected lire escapes and
exits.
The sprinkler system provision
does not become effective until
September 1. 1950.
Brockwell, who is also deputy in

three-year provision was made in
this instance because it would be
impossible to get sprinklers in

Information Service reports, and
the mortality rate was the lowest
on record.
Sir Wilson Jameson, chief medi

announces in his annual report that
last year 43 babies under one year

46 in 1945 and 52.8 before the war.
Out of every 1,000 babies, 11 less
died at birth last year than pre
war. Little more than a third of
the pre-war number of mothers
died in childbirth.
The birth rate 19.1 per 1,000 of
the population was higher than
the last pre-war year by four per

- In all the-talk about lower prices, don't forget this:
Day in and day ou(, no retailer does a better job of keeping prices down than your food
merchant. JVo food merchant does a better job than A&P.
We would like you to understand two important things about A&P's price situation:
Our net profit during the past five years has averaged only
about 1 cent on each dollar of sales. If we were to operate our
business without any profit at all, this 1 cent would amount to
a saving of less than 4 cents a day on the entire food of the
average American family.
We sincerely believe that A&P has the lowest cost of distribu
tion of any retail business in the world. When you spend $1.00
in an A&P store, you get 86 cents worth of food and only about
11 cents goes to meet all expenses wages, taxes, rent, light,
heat and the hundreds of other expenses incidental to the
stocking and operating of a modern food store including our
very small profit.
Obviously there is I i t "f;it" in such a price structure. Our operant ing costs and profits
arc already cut close to the bone.
Merchants generally have reduced prices on many items on which they were overstocked.
In recent weeks we have reduced prices on hundreds of such items. That is common
merchandising practice and has no relation to a general or permanent price reduction.
While many food prices have already been lowered we must recognize that no substantial
general reduction in retail fond prices is possible until the cost of fnnd to the retailer is reduced.
As any housewife knows. A&P's business has been built on the policy of selling quality
food at the lowest practical price every day.
Wc pledge to our customers strict adherence to that policy. We will continue to lower
our prices as fast as reductions in costs to us and economies in our operations permit.
