TAB ON The SEALERl|
Retail Dealers Would Have the
Office Brought Under Closer
Supervision.
Now It Reports, to City Council
Annually Change in New
Charter.

Several retail dealers have volun-
teered the information that they intend
to suggest to the charter commission
such changes in. the city charter as
will put the sealer Of weights and
measures under some department Of
the city government besides the city
council. .s1G
This recommendation for a change
is not intended as any criticism on
the present sealer of weights and
measures, Ralph Whitney, but is part
of a general scheme looking toward
the Capitalization of the various mu-
nicipa1 departments. w>r
Under the city charter which Gre
ated the department, the sealer OF
weights and measures is appointed by
the city council and in turn reports
to that body annually. In general
way he is supposed to test the various
public and private scales in use in the
city to determine whether there IS any
fraud on the part of the owner OF
the scales; he is also expected to know
that all the measures used by dealers
in groceries, produce and liquids are
up to the standard In weight or
measurement. -. g....-. 4~-- j.. ,,-..
The sealer Of weights and measures
reporting only to the city council and
depending for his reappointment upon
| the pleasure of the: twenty-s1x mem,
bers of that body, is in the position OF
| a man who may detect great amount
of fraud or may not. For NOBODY II
I particular seems to care. ~ - y. 9
1t will be suggested that he be made
to report to either the police depart
ment, as do the pawnshop and license
INSPECTORS, or the city attorney.

turned Last Evening. f..

Alderman Claus Mumm spent over
an hour in the grand jury room yes

desire an indictment returned IN order

in of the Joanin-Hanso company of

tempted to- pump" him. The juror
stated that he could not divulge the
evidence taken in the grand jury room
but upon further questioning stated
that the Janey, Semple, & Co., alley
vacation deal had been under in
vestigation. The alderman told Mr.:
Brainerd where he could find out
the truth concerning this transaction
and the conversation ended there. An
inkling of these facts came to the
grand jury. A committee was ap-
pointed, waited upon Mr.. Mumm and

Mercury in the Nineties,

Spring although seemingly delayed
has come with a bound. The heat yes
terday actually produced discomfort.
At noon the thermometer registered
rs degrees at the Montour House. At
4 p. N. when the sun fell with full
force upon the front of the building
where the thermometer is exposed the
mercury climbed up to 80 degrees.
What added to the discomfort of most
people was the fact that they had not
yet laid aside their winter undercloth-
ing Less than a week ago heavy
overcoats were comfortable, so that
people hardly know how to keep pace
with the weather in matter of raiment.
Unless person be of very hardy con-
stitutIon it is important that he hold
on to his fiannels for sometime long
er. During the middle of the day h,
may suffer some discomfort. but tn,
nights will be chilly even if colder
weather does not return in few days

ors.
During the afternoon W. G. Brown,

tomobile was stranded at DIR. Paules
farm on the Bloom road. The young
men who had 1t in charge had gone on
to their home and they wanted Mr..
Brown to proceed to the farm where
the machine had been left and take it
to Bloomsbury.
Mr.. Brown started at once for DR..
Paules' farm in two-horse surrey,
taking with him an extra man az
driver. His plan was TO hitch the
machine behind the surrey aud thus
haul IL to its destination.

W. A. Garrett, who has resigned his
position as general superintendent Of
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
way company, to take effect May !,
will transfer his services to the
Queen and Crescent, as the Gin.
cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific
Railway company is popularity known.
Mr. Garrett will have a higher posi-
tion with the Queen and Crescent
than he has had with the Reading II
is understood he will become general
manager aud will receive a higher
salary.
First Vice President Voorhees,. OF
the Reading, would not state Thurs
day who would be named 20 succeed
Mr.. Garrett, but il is likely that
Agnew t. Dice, superintendent Of the
Shamokin division will be chosen, as
he ranks in point of service and WAS
sidetracked from promotion when Mr.
Garrett succeeded General Superin-
tendent Besler.
In point Of service Mr.. Dice out
ranks all the other uperintendents.
When Mr. Garrett was made general
superintendent he went over Mr
Dice's head. This caused some sur
prise, as Mr. Dice is considered not
only an able railroad man but one Of
the most efficient that the Reading
has ever had. When an officer Of the
company was asked who would sue
ceed Mr.. Garrett and II an outside
railroad official would be brought in.
he said: mo, the appointment will
be made in the line Of seniority"
The resignation Of Mr.. Garrett has
led to many rumOrs to the effect that
there will be other changes in the
operating department Of the company
II Mr.. Dice is promoted it is said A.
G. McCauslsnd, now superintendent
Of the Atlantic City Railroad. will be
promoted to Mr.. Dice's pomsition.
