Boston Sept. 23.-A severe arraign-
ment of the department of scalcr Of
weights and measures Of the city of
Boston is made in report issued 10y tn.
finance commission. which is investi-
eating the departmental affairs Of the
city. The report is of considerable
length and declares that there is an al.
most hopeless inefliciency in the depart.
ment, and in brief makes the following
findings;
That in 1905 the work of six dcpu.
ties aggregated $50 days, or IA days
each. No account is made of the bal
ance of time.
That in December, 1908, the deputies
worked one day each, and in December
1906, the deputies = 20 days each.
That false reports were made as to
the number of bottles tested during the
year.
That no records of testing coal
scales were kept, the reports of the
inspectors doing the work being det
stroyed.
That in the various visits of the com
mission to the office of the sealer OF
weights and measures they never saw
single deputy at work, and finally
they requested the seaer to set deputy
at work that the commission might de
termine what his work was.
That the state commissioner Of
weights of measures reported that 30
/ percent of the milk bottles in Boston
were not sealed; that the majority Of
| the scales and weights were not sealed,
and that he had repeatedly called Mr..
Coverings Uhe sealer of weights and
measures for the city, attention to the
need of prosecution, but without result.
That the Boston department APP
peared to have completely abandoned
the policy Of prosecution.
The finance commission recommends
the complete reorganization of the de-
partment from top to bottom. with a
competent head who understands the
law and deputy sealers who have
passed civil service examinations.
The commission believes that 10 off
cials are enough if this is done. and
notes that New York. with seven times
the population of Boston. has but Is
sealerS.
In closing, the finance commission
declares that with more prosecution
there would be less need of inspection
and notes its dsapppva of the plan to
add eight deputy sealers to the office

Operator BROMLEY. the Concord

the accident would occur short time
before the crash came. and did ali he
could to prevent it. The first he knew
anything WAS wrong WAS when he
called up Canaan to notify the freight
train that the train order signal ut
Lebanon was out Of order. He was
then Informed by Canaan that the
freight train had already left the lat
ter station. He told the Canaan OPP
orator that the freight did not have
time to make the West Canaan station
before the arrival Of the Quebec eN-
press. Canaan replied thai the freight
had one hour and 10 minutlS which,
if true. would have been plenty of time.
BROMLEY sad he then told Canaan
that the one hour and 10 Minutes was
the running time of passenger train No.
a. the Montreal express, which FOL
lowed the Quebec TRAIN. The dispatch
er knew Il collision was oils and so
certain WAS he that ii collision WAS in
evitablr that he called up the super
intendont and ordered out tho wreck
iny train few minutes before the
crash. BroWlcy testified that he was
confident he had made no error IN send

Dispatcher at Concord Ordered Out
Wreck.ng Tram Before Crash Oc-
curred-- Canaan Operators Order
Shows Trarspositron of Figures
Concord y. H., Sept. 2J.-lt is posi-
ole that the mistakes of two operators
caused the hcad-on crash of the Quebec
south bound express and a freight train
on the Boston and Maine railroad at
Canaan on Sept. IL, by which 2GperSons
lost their lives and as many more were
injured. according to the testimony OF
General Superintendent Lee who was
one Of the principal witnesses at an in
Quiry held by the state railroad com
mission in this city.
Mr.. Lee said that there were three
theories to account for the wreck:
First. that the train order sent from
Concord to the operator at Canaan
was correct: that the Canaan operator
received the order wrong and sent 1t
back correctly; second. that the opera
tor made no error and that the dispatch
er made two errors inside Of minute;
third. that they both made mistake,
the Canaan operator emitting the word
flour" in receiving ii and the dispatcher
automatically checking the "a. the
number of Il passenger train, when 1t
came back to him go" the number OF
tho Oupbpc express.
Mr.. Lee testified that the Concord
division is one of the lightest in point
Of train traffic of the system. The
wreck ut Canaan. he said. was due to
the order delivered to fire. chit train No.
267 at Canaan. 1t read train 30
when it should have read train "a.
Tho records ut Concord. the divisional
headquartcrs. show that the order was
sent "trau "a" but the records at Ca
naan show that it was received train

Continuing. Lee said: "The dis
patcher at Concord. James \. crowley,
and the operator at Canaan. j. 5.
Greeley. are both unconscious of hav-
Ing made an error. and we have been
unable to ascertain how the error was
really made" Lee considered that the
error was due to Il failure of the mental
process Of one or both operators.
