The sale of limitations of butter has
again become SO much OF business In the
District as 10 require the immediate attention
OF the authorities and Is again being consid-
cred by the Commissioners. Mr.. Small, the
District SeaIer OF Weighta and Measures, the
other day brought TO the District Commission
ers' ofiice pound of butterine, which had
been exposed for sale. The butterine Is not
manufactured In the District, but is brought
IN large quantities from New York and has
almost completely superseded oleomargarine
ON account OF Its more palatable taste and
closer resemblance 10 butter. The specimen
submitted dehed detection by the naked oye,
and had the smell and taste OF the genuine
article. Mr.. Small says the butterine Is ex-
tensiYely sold for good price, not only by
hucksters, but in the markets and stores, and
has become a great Injury to the Legitimate
butter merchants. A consultation was held al
the Commissioners of1lce between tho Com.
missioners, Mr.. Francis Miller and Mr.. Small,
and the latter directed to arrest all persons
detected selling unlabeled butterine. II is un-
derstood that an order will be issued calling
the attention OF the police authorities particu
larly TO this growing evil.
