ance were considered and acted upon
during the regular monthly meeting
OF the state board OF railroad commits

vestigation and at the meeting OF the
board made his report. In this he
states among other things that he
found IL was the general practice OF
grain buyers 20 take thirty-three
pounds per bushel for oats and nifty
pounds per bushel for barley. the buy
crs contendinE that the number OF
pounds thus taken over and above the
legal weights per bushel Is the amount
OF dirt In the grain.
In his report the inspector calls at

which ix oats at thirty-two pounds
per bushel and barley at forty-eight.
and states that the practice OF the
buyers therefore is Illegal. Under the
law the practice OF the warehouse men

After considering the report the rail-
road commissioners announced II as
their purpose TO In future enforce the
law To the letter by requiring ware
