WHAT ABOUT THE sOALEsY

Several weeks ago, to Mayor Yeiser
was referred the matter of investigat-
ing the city scales for the purpose of
ascertaining what was the matter
- with them and why the receipts were
falling of. The mayor has made no
report, although the evidence neces-
sary to make one could be secured
with very little trouble, and some of
il is, and has been for several weeks
in the possession Of members of the
general council. During April, ac-
cordmg to figures secured in the treas
urer's office, the city scales took in
$47.95, not enough to pay the weigh =
er's salary. Last year for April the re-
ceipts of the scales were $50. 25, fall

OF $50 a month"; ana the private scales
are doing a good business. These pri-
vate scales pay s15 year license and
are now getting business that until
recently came to the city, and why +?
There must be some reason for it, 1t
wasn't that way under the admins
tration of the former weigher, and it
ought not be that way now.
The administration not long ago
offered the absurd excuse that the
scales were out of fix, and had been
for two years. There is no way 1t
could be ascertained how long tho
scales had been out of order, unless
the city officials knew it all the time,
aud II they did and didn't do anything
to have them repaired, the admins
tration stands convicted on its own
admission of wilfully robbing the
patrons of the city scales for two
years, by taking money for weighing
produce on scales that did not weigh
correctly.
But even if the scales had boon out
OF order for two years, that is not
what has caused the gradual falling off
in receipts since the first of the year,
when the former weigher was oustedl
to pay a political debt. There were
no complaints before the scales
changed hands. There have been al
most innumerable ones since.
All that is asked of the mayor, or of
any other city official, is that he do
his duty, and do it quickly. The trou-

"Last winter caught a cold which
settled on my lungs, and for weeks l
was unable to get out of the house. AS
