beginning CT next month, there viii be
no supervision of scales. At present
all scales are tested before they are
permitted to be used, and the Public
Works Department has an elaborate
outfit for that purpose. Weights of all
sizes and measures are on hand up
to several tons of fifty pound iron bars,
1t takes a dray to carry around the ap-
paratus for the testing of one Of the
big platform scales These big scales
on the water front for weighing coal
and wood, and other merchandise are
cut of order and require the services of
the government expert every few
months. Coal dust settles on the
beams, and water affects the scales so
that they are some times from five to
fifty pounds out of the way. In such
cases an aggrieved party can call up
on the government to make the test,
and if the scales are out of order
fee of $3.50 must be paid for the ex-
animation and readjustment. If found
correct no charge is made. For the
smaller platform scales the fee is a
dollar. and it ranges on down to ty=en-
ty-five cents for the smallest scales.
The method of adjusting the scales,
which is now being done by Harry
Murray of the Public Works office, is
very simple. When the scale is out
of gear the weights are simply bored
1ut. or loaded as the necessities of the
occasion requires. The Department Of
Public Works has a standard set of |
weights by which every scale is tested |
before it can be sold and it is then |
sealed. The statute provides that in |
,ase anyone feels aggrieved by incor- |
.ect scales he can recover double the |
amount of his damage by suit at law. |
However as long as the scales in Ho- |
lolu1u are so nearly accurate as they /
low are, it will be a long time before
he aid of the law Is invoked here.

HOW SCALES Arr. NOW

| All scales do not weigh alike in Ho-

the scales in use about the city are
very nearly accurate. They have to

to a damage suit. for although the in
spection which is provided for by law
is not made, every scale is tested be-
fore it can be used.
An Advertiser reporter carried a
pound of sugar from one store TO an
other yesterday, and it weighed a
pound on practically every scale from
Alakea to Liiiha street. In one or two
stores the sugar was little over

ticeable. There was difference though
in the platform scales of two or three
drug stores and sporting goods houses,
amounting to about four pounds all
around. But then as the scales are not
being used in weighing out cornmodi-

pose of accommodating customers who
were curious about their weight no one
has much cause for complaint 1t must

There IL no change in the realty

mand for building lots for residences

market prices effectively. Attention is
being paid to the Richmond District

increased facilities for reaching
Golden Gate Park from all parts of
the city by the line through Eighth

parts of the city. Every section fig
ures in the deals that are effected.
