POTATOES BY THE POUND
City sealer Of Weights and Measure.
Wants Commodities Sold by
@ Weiutt

Weight.
Ralph Whitney, city sealer Of weights
and measures, urges in his recent report
the need of legislative action, requiring
dealers to sell commodities by weight.
The only accurate method, he is con-
WINGED, is that of weighing vegetables and
all kinds Of grains. Peddlers would thus
be compelled to deal fairly with their
patrons As their scales would be easily
subject to inspection, they would be I'M
able to practice, the deception which the
present system of measuring permits.
Selling potatoes and other vegetables by
measure, he thinks. is purely guesswork.
He also recommends that eggs be sold by
weight.
