WEIGHING VEGETABLES.
In . western City h Idea L
Thought Practical. =

An agitation favoring the handling OF
green groceries Ay weight. has been
started in Cleveland again, and the In
tention is to push the matter'along until
some decisive action can be'taken'
The innovation of buying and selling
potatoes, apples. melons, sweet pQta-
toes, tomatoes, peas, beans. berries;
pickles, and, in fact. all articles handled
Igrocers themselves. There is no Stale
law or city ordinance governing the matt
ter, and the law regulating the size or
Ia barrel, even, is declared 10 be n dead
letter. Consequently. the grover who
buys a barrel of potatoes at the com
mission-house has no idea Of how much
price until he determines the quantity
he has purchased at the wholesale piice.
IiberaIity sof clerks In adding a po-
tato or two to a peck measure full is
simply an additional uncertainty of the
measure system of handling. and the
varying sizes of berry boxes created
unequal conditions in cases of compe-
titlon. Fresh fruit will weigh more
than dried up. stale stun. and the. pur-
chaser Ii thereby protected 10 an exc
tent greater than under the measure
system. z Cooks and chefs, too, who re-
quire exact weights of the different
buy mor accurately under the weight
system. The selling OF Jeggs need not
be altered, for In selling by the dozen
exactly the same amount as * pur-
chased Is sold. and the number OF eggs,
II not the exact. amount of. egg meat
contained therein, Is known.-Clevelend

The evening world., 1903-11-04

A half dozen landscape gardeners
took advantage of the election holi-
day. and while thousands looked over
the ruins of the Coney Island fire made
a preliminary survey OF the destroyed
section with a view 10 turning IL inuo
the grand c~ontourse that the Evening
World is advocating. and which has the
support of all citizens.
Democrats and Republicans aliKe
favor the park. From investigation IL
would appear that the cost for acauir-
ing the land in the burned sectlon
would be, very much less than has been
heretofore estimated.
For two years the Evening World
has advocated a grand %concuorse FOR
the public In place OF the dives That
NTH the fire swept them out OF exist
ence lined both sides OF the Bowery'
but the only stumbling block was the
great cost.
without making a survey OF the prop

BOARDWALK. huge bathing houses foun-
ms. new piers, recreation places and

and SIS, 900, 900.

But now. when the whole territory Is
as fat as a plateau. this estimate has
been reduced 10 less than s., ,0co. Just
as soon as maps of the devastated Six
ten blocks. from the Steeplechaso cast
ward, have been made, they will be SUD
