FAIL TO AGREE
ON SEALER'S FEES
COUNCIL LAYS OVER NEW
ORDINANCE
Retail erocers Like the Measure, but
Point Out Defects, Which May
Be Amended Before Mon-
days Session

After lengthy discussion the city
council yesterday laid over the proposed
ordinance to create the office of city
sealer of weights and measures until
Monday morning.
Some objections were made to the
proposed schedule of fees, and until
some agreement on these can be
reached 1t was thought best to lay over
the question.
Representatives Of the Retail Gro
GERS association attended the meeting
and called attention to the disabilities
of hardship on merchants that lurk in
the ordinance, though advocating the
spirit of the measure
The proposed fees run from 10 cents
to S., and 1t Is suggested that examina-
tions of scales and measures be taken
at least twice q year. In the cases of
dry goods merchants, for instance, with
the hundreds of tape measures they use,
the amount Of cost involved struck
some of the debaters as excessive.
Some stores have all their counters
marked off with brass tacks, showing
yard measures. and this in itself would
be an expensive item of inspection, they
said.
Strict provision was also asked that
the sealer visit each place at least once
in six mnoths-and If possible without
previous announcement--to prevent col
lusion and unfairness. In cases where
a store or shop is overlooked it is pro-
posed that the person so overlooked be
given the opportunity of complaining
at the officials inattention to his duties.
Some speakers urged that the fees
should be paid by the city, but this idea
Is contrary to the wishes of Mayor
Harper, who in asking for the ordinance
was moved as much by a desire to
create revenue for the city as to have
such an office

And still the sun shines. Such
weather as the Angel City has been en-
joying gives the natives confidence to

complains when few sprinkling drops

The bright smiles of Ell Sol have long
ago banished the frowns from the faces
of visitors who didn't like the rain; and
his genial smiles are rapidly wiping
out the great depths of snow on the
mountain tops.

of the state unanchored articles are
