functions taken over by the similar Board in Miami, and
WHEREAS by the removal of this Board' s offices from our
City, hundreds of the 100,000 or more of persons who will be

automobiles that we are trying to conserve and the thousands
of additional gallons of gasoline that will be used, and
FURTHERMORE, we observe that Federal rationing will soon
be extended to many other foods and articles, thus increasing
