ROANOKE, va, NOVEMBER 90, lso.
PUBLIC SCALES.

Nearly every town of any size in the
country possesses a set of public scales
for weighing heavy loads. Roanoke
has none, and their absence causes more
Inconvenience than can we'll be ina
gined. At present consumers have to
depend upon the honesty of dealers in
buying many bulky articles.
Coal and hay are two in which tho
consumer is at great disadvantage,
owing to the difficulty in securing full
weights and quality Nearly all hay
sold in Roanoke is baled. II there
were public scales hay would be brought
in loose and better quality secured
There would then be a sure method of
securing full weights of coal, where at
present dishonest dealer may cheat
his customer of two hundred weight to
the ton without detection.
A set of scales of ten ton capacity,
probably set near or in the public dia-
mond, would cost between $500 and $3.50.
Their custody would properly be in tn @
hands of the market master. Even at
the minimum fees they would yield a
large return on their cost, and in saw
ing to consumers the outlay would be
repaid many fold in single year.
The TINES has already heard the sub
ject favorably discussed by business
men and by several members of Council
and believes that Council will shortly
take steps to give the city this needed
convenience.
