Department of Weights
and Measures Shows
Marked Improvement.
RECEIPTS HAVE BEEN LARGE
Efforts Made to Educate Dealers in the
Proper Use of Liquid and Dry Meas
ures Result in Decrease in Improper
Usage-Estimates for New Year.

Col. William C. Haskell. Sealer Of
Weights and Measures, yesterday sub
mitted to the District Commissioners
his annual report, covering the period
of the fiscal year ended June 30. The
receipts from all sources were $3.50. 20
and the expenses were s2112s less than
the receipts.
Colonel Haskell introduces a tabu-
lated statement to show that the total
surplus of receipts over expenses dur
ing his five years incumbency of the
Office have been s2.495, while it is only
expected that it shall be self-support-
ing.
According to the report. marked i'm
provement is shown in the condition of
ell the scales. weights, and measures
throughout the District.
Our system of canvassing the Dis
trict" says the report, lin the exami-
nation of scales. weights, and meas
ures, is very satisfactory; our rigid in
spection meeting with the approval of
a large majority of those concerned.
Through the secretary of the Retail
Grocers Association. we have the CO.
operation of that association, the re-
suit of which must be to our mutual
advantage. Our efforts along the line
of educating certain dealers in the
proper use of the liquid and dry meas
ures have resulted in a large percent
age of decrease in the improper use
of these measures.
Receipts Largest in History.
Our receipts have been the largest
in the history of the office since the
a abolishment of the fee system of COM
pensation to its officials. This is graft
flying, as 1t has sustained estimates
made in asking for additional assist
ance. In addition. there are the re-
ceipts from the sale of the use OF the
District hay scales. the care and su-
pervision of same having been assigned

kets' by the hucksters throughout the
noyance; but, after confscation of a
large number of these measures ant
baskets we find an improvement.
Since our recent crusade against the
hucksters we have received some COM
plants from them relative to the Gus
tom of the wholesale merchants in SELL
| ing vegetables and fruits in their orig
inal packages. After a personal inves-
| tigation. we found that it was the GUS
tom of these merchants to sell potatoes
| lin the spring of the year, by the bar
| rel, for the reason that new potatoes
will not bear unnecessary handling, be-
cause the skin would be bruised and
knocked off, and the potatoes would turn
black. They are received by the barrel,
each barrel of the uniform flour size.
Said barrel contains about two bushels
and three pecks, and the purchaser is
so informed by the dealers; the barrel
weighs between 1S0 and 100 pounds
gross.
Standard Capacity.
Tomatoes are sold by the box. each
box containing about three pecks. These
boxes are partitioned off in the center.
ard their sides are made of Stats, SO
that a purchaser can see whether they
are closely packed or not. Peaches are
sold by the box or crate; sometimes In
boxes thai are in crates, and later in
the season they are received here and
sold in baskets. These baskets, boxes
or crates are all of standard capacity.
according to the State from which they
are received.
"For instance, the crates received
from Florida, North Carolina. or South
Carolina are all of different size. Each
will measure exactly what 1t is sup
posed to contain. the amount being stat
ed to the purchaser, but because cer
tain fruits and early vegetables will not
stand handling or measuring from the
original package to stamped or tested
measures it has never been expedient
or thought necessary to comply with
the strict letter of the law.
''At this season Of the year nearly all
fruits and vegetables are received and
sold on commission and in their orig
iual packages. In the winter months,
when there are old potatoes they are
shipped in bags or carloads, and all
such potatoes are sold by weight. sixty
pounds to the bushel.
While it does not appear from our
investigation that the wholesale dealers
are complying with the very letter of
the law. as stated hereinbefore, there
does not appear to be the slightest ef-
fort or intention on their part to de-
ceive."
In his estimates for the next fiscal
year Colonel Haskell asks for $6,0SO,
against $3.50 appropriated this year.
He places the receipts of the Office at
$4,000.

ANOTHER REQUEST is MADE
Believed He Will Accede to Desire for
Leaves of Absence for Veterans Out
side the District in Order That They
May Visit Encampment.

An executive order has been signe
by President Roosevelt closing the Gov
ernment departments in this city o.
October s, the occasion of the gran
parade and review of the surviving vet
Grams of the Grand Army of the Re
public. Although the order was sign
ed September 10. it was not made publ
until yesterday, following the acknowl
edgment by Chairman Brainard II
Warner, of the citizens executive com
mittee The text of the order is a
follows:
"By the President of the United States
Executive order:
I'm order that the members of III,
Grand Army of the Republic employed
in the public service in the city o
Washington may have the opportunit,
of joining in the parade arranged fol

white House. Sept. 10, 1902"
Another Appeal Made.
In the hope of having recognition
given the veterans employed in the Gov
ernment service outside of Washington
Mr.. Warner yesterday sent telegram
to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
calling his attention to a formal ap-
plication that was made to him some
time ago. 1t is believed veterans in
the Government service living outside of
the District will yet be granted leave
without detriment to their standing, and
without the time being charged against
their annual leave
An effort will also be made to Sc
cure leave for the naval veterans and
others who are employed in the depart
ments. and who may desire to partici-
plate in the Tuesday parade. The mem
bers of the National Guard are already
provided for through the provision of
the law which relieves them of ONCE
duty whenever they shall be orderd out
through the regular military channels.
