FAVORABLE INDICATION
Sealer Haskell Thinks New Law Will
Be Upheld

AS the result of conference with Cor
poration Counsel Thomas and the latter's
assistant, Mr.. Stephens. Sealer of Weights
and Measures Haskell announced yesterday
that he was confident that the Court of APP
peals would uphold the conten0n of the
District in reference to the validity of the
recently enacted amendment to the weights
and measures law. Mr.. Haskell said that his
confidence was based upon a reassuring
statement made by the Corporation Counsel
In which Mr.. Thomas took it as favor
able Indication that a writ of error had
been readily granted when his Office pre-
scented the initial papers in the appeal from
the decision of the Police Court.
The case on which the law was de-
clared to be invalid grew out of the sale
of some chickens by Louisiana avenue
merchant, it being alleged that his Gus
toner was charged for eight pounds when
she received only six pounds. 1t was stated
in the Police Court that the substitution
of the word less" in the bill when it was
passed by the Senate In lieu of the word
greater rendered the law contradictory
and, therefore, void. The sealer of weights
and measures and the corporation counsel
hold to the contrary opinion, and at a sit
ting of the Court of Appeals in the fall they
will seek to have their contention ratified
