ED. SENTINEL: As the Council meets tonight
allow me TO call their attention again to the i'm
portance of an ordnance providing for measuring
all the wood sold in this city As matter OF
protection 10 the poorer class OF the cty-the
working pcr,iOn.-I know Of nothing that will
give them greater protection Ii is due to them,
and am satisfied that buyer will object to
paying the small fee for measuring. As the
matter now Is, the universal price for wood in
this city il from FIVE TO six dollars per cord while
IN reality we are paying from eight to ten dol
lars. the way the wagons are loaded. Ii correct
measurement is adopted. and the price fixed al
eight dollars, the price will largely increase the
amount OF wood brought in, the supply will be
greater, and the cost will reach proper
level; while as the matter now stands, the dis
honest seller keeps away others by the APPARENT
low price of wood. / hope the Council will act
on this matter at once, so that we nav Get the
advantage of the measuring system during the
coming winter. WooD BUYER.
