Going another step towards fixing maximum prices on all vital necessaries in the French Concession, the three sub-committees appointed by the French Concession Commission for the Control of Prices of Daily Necessaries have submitted reports and suggestions to M. M. Baudez, French Consul-General, yesterday.
The reports were approved at a meeting of the Commission held on Wednesday but will not be made public until consultations with the Settlement sub-committee composed of Messrs. F. Hoehnke, J. Fistere and W. Mellor, will have taken place, it being presutned that they will be adopted simultaneously in both foreign areas if approved.
It was impossible to ascertain yesterday, what steps are contemplated, it being presumed, however, that maximum prices will be. fixed for all vital necessaries, in particular coal, rice, vegetables and other general goods.
