Some shops were found deficient in living up to the agreement reached be- tween the Jewish Community Council and the Kosher Butch- ers' Association last July, the. report declared. The three points previously agreed upon by both parties were: 1. Every butcher is to itemize prices and cuts of meat on all carry-out and telephone orders. 2. Butchers are to display as many cuts of meat as possible in their showcases, with prices and names of cuts attached. Such meats as are not on display were to be listed with prices in the showcases. 3.. A standing committee is to be formed to deal with any fur- ther grievances or complaints regarding the sale of *Kosher meat. After the survey, conducted under_ the chairmanship of Mrs. William H. Cohen, all Kosher butchers were informed of the Council's intent to make the re- sults. available to the public. Several butchers called to the Council and stated that the sur- vey in their store was made at an -odd hour and that they gen- erally have and will respect the agreement reached with the Council. Twenty shops were found to have met the minimum require- ments of price posting. Twenty- six others were listed as not complying with the agreement. Results of the survey are avail- -able at the Council office in the Washington Blvd Bldg. On .
