Mayors of Leading Palestine Cities Plan Price Control
Conference of Arab and Jewish Leaders to Meet Wartime Problem.
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Tel Aviv
Transcribed from the clipping
“TEL AVIV (JTA).—A conference of the Arab and Jewish mayors of the four leading cities in Palestine was held here this week to discuss means of checking profiteering and hoarding which have caused the prices of essential commodities to rise to unprecedented heights.
Present at the conference, which was presided over by Mayor Rokach of Tel Aviv, were Mustapha Bey Khalidi, Mayor of Jerusalem; Shabbatai Levi, Mayor of Haifa and Omar II Bitar, Mayor of Jaffa… The conference decided to form a permanent committee and to present a joint declaration to the High Commissioner outlining its proposals.”
Context added by this archive
The mayors of Jerusalem and Jaffa are Palestinian, are named, and are forming a joint committee. It runs as a story about the price of flour.
