House For the City weieher and Scaler.

The city authorities are having a
5x1O feet weigher's house erected over
the city scales to shelter the city
weigher in bad weather. This is a
good improvement. The city weigher
and scaler of wood is expected to be
at the scales ready to wait upon Gus
toners during working hours every
day. On stormy and cold days this is
quite a hardship and this building
was therefore necessary.
