The following communication was received, to-wit :
To the Special Committee of Council
Richmond, Indiana. June 15, 1934.
Gentlemen:
The Retail Merchants Association, together with the
Local Retail Code Authority, respectfully request your considers,
ation of the fact that so long as the N.R.A. is in force, no bid
on any contract covered by a code under the N.R.A.be considered
a legitimate bid for City business, unless the bidder is opera-
ting under his code.
There is no personal angle to this request, it merely re-
flects the attitude of the above organizations, whose members are
operating under the retail code, and who do not believe it fair
competition to encourage any firms not operating under the N.R.A.
to. pursue their present policy.
' Yours very truly,
R.M.Loehr, Presto
W.M.Romey, Chairman
Local Retail Code Authority.
