simply contemplated standard weight for

simply cOntcmpAateO u stAuoAIu ~c1&nS 1or
bread, differing very much from the old or
dinance now in force. He feared, however,
that difficulties would occur in carrying out
the ordinance, from the fact that We had no
small change-nothins smaller than five
cents. Ef'
The Mayor remarked that there was
already an ordinance requiring an assize OF
bread to be made every week. This was
neglected. There had been hitherto fixed
price, but the Administrator OF Commerce
and himself had considered the propriety OF
changing the form, and instead OF hxlng
price to FIX standard Of weights 1or the
various kinds of lOaves.

toners book keeper Mr.. Shute, who certi-

PEELED to borrow because the taxes justly
