Weights and Measures was brought about in
this way: When the Board of Commissioner

of Senator Germans. was told to 60. and

local man for the place, when an intimation
was received from President Mckinley that
Senator Hanna had a friend whom he desired to
f;l the place, and the President would be pleased
II the Commissioners could crafty the Senator.
The Commissioners concluded that they could.
take the office. and Is said to have been gricv-
ously disappointed to learn what It really WAS.
He had an idea that as Sealer of Weights and
Measure, he would have charge of these
with an office in the Treasury building,
end q salary of $4,000. or thcreabouts:
Instead he found it a purely LOCAL ONCE. housed
with a salary Of 81, 500. He secured a leave OF
absence without pay until Dec. l and returned
to Ohio, leaving the impression that he you'd
ton to the District building habltues not only
that Senator aanna's future Is assured. but that
counter 10 running short.
