The election of a new Municipal Council of Tel Aviv will not take place before October, 1944, according to a decision arrived at by the Council.

A proposal of the Labor councillors to hold elections this year was defeated by the majority vote of the citizens bloc. The discussion of a proposal to increase the membership of the Council from fifteen to twenty-one was postponed.

To relieve labor shortage in orange groves, 500 Jerusalem workers, mostly Veshivah students, have been transferred to the Sharon citrus area.

Fifty cold storage plants are to be erected in Jewish agricultural settlements and material for this purpose has been released. Vegetables and fruit will be kept in cold storage for seasons of short supply, thus balancing the distribution of vegetables and stabilizing prices.
