THE NEW RULES
Under Which the Commissioners
Will Inspect Private Elevators.

In the past the state grain inspection
department has been inspection and
weighing grain out of private ware
houses at a loss. Yesterday the rail-
road commissioners held a meeting to
determine whether the inspection of
private warehouses should be con-
tinued, and. if so, determine more
equitable basis upon which to do the
work. Messrs. E. j. Cargill, represent
ing Elevator x, and d. r. Putnam, rep
reSenting Elevator K of Minneapolis,
had the services of Chief Grain In
spectOr ClauSen. The result of their
deliberation is the following report, pre-
pared by Mr.. Clausen:
Acting under authority granted by
warehouse law and for the purpose of
executing III a systematic and proper
manner the work of inspection and
weighing of grain out of store at the
terminal points. all warehouses at st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth shall be
divided into two classes, viz: Public
warehouses and private warehouses.
Public warehouses shall comprise all
warehouses that are duly bonded,
licensed and operating under the pro-
visions of the law.
Private warehouses shall comprise all
those warehouses, at the terminals, not
included in the preceding class.
The method of conducting the bust
ness of public warehouses, and the
rules governing the departments of in
SpectiOn, weighing and registration are
similar to those already in operation.
The inspection and weighing of grain
out of private warehouses call for the
following newly adopted rules:
The inspection and weighing service
will be granted to private warehouse
men at the terminal points, only upon
written application TO the railroad and
warehouse commission, which applica-
ton shall set forth the location and
name and capacity of the warehouse at
which such service is desired, and the
individual name of each person in
tereSted as owner, or principal in the
management of the same, or if managed
or owned by corporation, the name of
the president. secretary and treasurer,
shall be stated in said application, and
the notice and extent of the service de-
sired shall also be stated.
Upon the approval of such applica-
ton by the railroad and warehouse
commission, the said service of lnspec-
ton, or both, if granted, will be
regarded as special work, and will be

conditions and arrangements as will not
interfere with nor impair in any man.
ner the efficiency Of the regular work
upon the tracks, or at the public ele-
vatOrs, and which will insure to the de-
partment proper compensation for the
time and labor involved in the work.
In the inspection of grain from pri-
vate warehouses, the inspection depart
ment will be governed by the general
standard of grades in force at the public
warehouses, and no grain will be al
lowed to pass inspection that is not fully
up to the general average quality of the
different grades coming out from the
regular bins of the public warehouses.
Samples of standard grades Will be
furnished by the chief deputy inspector
upon application.
The inspection department neither
claims nor assumes any supervision of
grain stored in private warehouse, and
no claim based upon any previous in
spectiOn of grain before unloading into
such private warehouse will be enter
tanned by the department.
All scales upon which grain is
weighed by state weigher in private
warehouses shall be subject to eXamina-
ton and test at all times by any duly
authorized weighmaSter or sealer of
weights and measures.
These rules go into effect the 18th
