Eve Sale-Notes About the City.

At the joint meeting of the City Council
held last Wednesday evening, serious
blunder was made in the action taken re-
garding the election of weigher OF mer-
chandise. The gentlemen elected, accord
ing to the general laws OF the State, are
not legally qualified to act as weigher OF
merchandise.
The following section Of the general
Laws speaks for itself:
SEC n. The Town Councils of the several
towns shall appoint one or more persons 10
be weiRhers Of coal and other articles OF
merchandise, who shall be sworn, and shall
be removable at the pleasure OF the Town
Councils appointing them, and shall receive
such fees as may be fixed by the Town Coun-
oils OF the several townr, which shall be
paid by the seller; provided, however, that
the Board OF Aldermen of any city shall
appoint for such city public weigher, who
shall have the power TO appoint under him
such deputy weighers IA said Board OF Al
dermen may approve, and for the omciai
conduct of suoh deputies said public weigher
shall be answerable. Said public weigher
znd deputy weighcrs shall be subject
10 such regulations as the City Council
of such city max establish, not repugnant to
10 law. Said public weigher shall give a
bond, with suficicn suretics, satisfactory 10
laid Board OF Aldermen. 10 such city in the
sum OF $4,000 for the faithful performance OF
the duties OF his Office, and he shall require
each of said deputy weighers To give him a
bond with sufficient surcties. which shall be
satisfactory to said Board of Aldermen, in
the sum Of $500 for the faithful discharge OF
the duties of his office; provided, that no
person shall act as n public weigher OF coal
or other merchandise, OF which he Is the
bsyer or seller, or in the sale WHEREOF he
has any interest.
SEC. ~. Every person who SHAH sell coal
or other merchandise, without its frst being
weighed by q public wcigher, when the
same sha be demanded by the purchaser,
and procuring a certificate of such weight
for the purchaser, shall be fined $50 for each
offence.
The City Council of Providence elected
weighers of merchandise according to the
old custom, but when the city solicitor and
city clerk were consulted they gave 1t as
their opinion that the appointments were
clearly illegal. The appointments were
allowed to stand because there were no
objections raised. Woonsocket Is the only
city which has conformed to the new law.
City Solicitor jerks has conferred with
the best legal talent In the State and IN
his opinion the action such as was taken
by the City Council OF this city is illegal.
