Housewives to boycott big chains
By IRENE GUIRORD
Members of HELP (Housewives Expect Lower Prices) voted Monday night to boycott all stores operated by the Grand Union Co. and the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. effectively immediately.
The executive committee will ask women's groups throughout the area to join their boycott and trade with IGA and independent stores only, preferably with the Mooers grocer they selected a week ago as offering the best prices available.
• • *
They justify the boycott with contentions that prices are higher in Plattsburgh than in other cities in New York, that chain stores set the general food price level and are reaping excessive profits and that money spent in chain stores only goes to increase those profits while that spent in local independent stores helps the local economy.
The women stated that the chain stores are not interested m answering questions from the group and thus have forced the boycott.
Committee members read a letter from the office of the president of Grand Union which reiterated the company's claims that its profit margin is not excessive and that prices are as low as possible "consistent with staying m business" and paying reasonable wages to its employes.
(The letter also stated figures could not be released on the Plattsburgh stores individually "for competitive reasons" and added there are too many variables in any one situation to enaWe comparison between any individual store and the chain as a whole.)

particularly uhen shoppir specials in chain stores ; the one exception to the general boycott) the women will wear signs proclaiming their membershiD in HELP.
At their weekly meeting Monday in the YMCA the housewives expressed satisfaction with results of their out-of-town buying. They said the meat and produce they bought wa> of higher quality than that available in chain stores and that they saved as much as one-third on their weekly food bill.
They hope to increase the number of shoppers traveling to Mooers to at least 100 by Christmas with the aid of car p~>n Tney are also arranging with

Going into the meet inc. the , *upero?ws have tentatively * agreed to use state equalization rates m computing the tax rate for each town.
If the state rate< are u>ed, Beekmantown, Peru. Saranac. Schuyler Falls and the Town and City of Plattsburgh will have tax rates higher than the other towns in the county.

Since the city is represented by two supervisors, there will be seven votes on the 16-mem-
rate for Peru and Plattsburgh Town will be $21.52.
If the board agrees to accept town assessments at 50 per
cent, the tax rate for all towns will be $21 ID.
Should Supervisors Bredenberg. Twa and DeCoste endorse the 50-per-cent agreement, the tax rates for their towns will be a penny higher than the tax
