USE GOVERNMENT SCALES.
Uncle Sam Will Weigh Goods Coming
Into Custom House.

The new Government scales estab-
lished at convenient intervals along the
water front were yesterday placed in
commission and hereafter Uncle Sam
will attend to his own weighing Of all
cargo that comes under the jurisdiction
of the Custom house. incidentally there
was discovered one of the reasons for
the revenue of the city failing many
thousands of dollars below the f1gur'.
that Expert Douglas Young declares
it ought to reach.
The trucks. carts and wagons on
which discharged freight is carried
away from the wharves are first
weighed empty, that the tare may be
| ascertained and proper deduction
! made when the loaded vehicle re-
turns to the scales. In order to iden-
! tify each truck. wagon and cart, the
| Government weighers hit upon a plan
J which would avoid the possibility of
| duplication. They decided to take the
| license number of each vehicle.
Under the law every one of these
, carts, trucks and wagons must be Ii
censed, and the license number should
| be in plain view. The plan seemed per-
! feet, but 1t proved a failure, for the
| reason that licenses had been taken out
for only about one-third of the vehi-
| cles.
Under the spur Of Grand Jury activ-
ity in this particular direction the IL
lcense office will probably do a rushing
! business in the vehicle department
! within the next few days Should the
Grand Jury get curious there may be
some bad quarter hours in store for the
