WANTS To ERECT WAGON SCALE.
Capt j. II. Martin, president OF the
Merchants exchange, asked for the
privilege, on behalf Of that commercial
body, 10 erect wagon scale and scale
house on Shelby street, on vacant lot OPP
posite the Gayoso hotel. Maj. Petit stated
that this raised serious question growing
out OF the action OF the council elccting
successor TO Inspector OF Weights and
Measures Mhoon. IL seems the Merchants
exchange has determined 10 run that part
Of the business for itself, and tho grain
dealers will all have the inspection done
under the exchange. Mai. Petit urged
that his greatest objection was that II took
of small source OF revenue annually de-
rived by the city. The council desired no
conflict with tho business men composing
the exchange, aud should take no hasty
action. According 10 the body's bylaws
II was entitled 10 an inspector, but the
question was should the city aid them in
an effort that would cut off about half the
pcrqulsites 10 the city weigher.
Mr.. Graham moved that the petition be
rejected, on the ground that Il was In con-
tlict with the fire ordinance.
President MADDEN said he could see no
conflict between the proposed arrangement
by the exchange, and City Inspector Ar
mour, but would vote against granting the
petition because OF It's conflict with the
fire ordinance.
Maj. Petit stated that the main objec-
ton by the exchange 10 the city inspector
was that they did not want their grain I'M
der the supervision OF any one holding I'M
der political methods.
Mr. Gnham's motion 10 reject because
Of conflict with fire ordinance, prevailed.
