ALLEGED IRREGULARITY.
Hay Scales Intended for Farmers Said
to Be Used by Others.

A hearing was given by the Commission
ers yesterday in regard to a COMPLAINT
made by W. c. Haskell, sealer of weights
and measures. that the public hay scales
intended for the use of farmers are being
used by dealers in hay. who act as inter-
mediaries between the farmers and the
consumers. Corporation Counsel Thomas
rendered an opinion in which he held that.
according to strict Interpretation of the
regulation regarding the use of the hay
scales. they were for the farmers only.

acting as commission merchant between
the farmers and consumers in the sale of.

az the hearing. The farmers were all in
favor Of allowing Mr.. Lafferty to continue
his business of selling their hay for them
This will mean that the regulation will
have to be changed.
The original intention Of the regulation"
said Commissioner West, was to prevent
hucksters from buying produce from farm
ers one day and selling 1t to buyers the
next under the pretense that 1t had just
been brought in fresh from the country.

WATCHMEN AT G. P. O.
Member of the Force Replies, TO Pub
ushed Statement

The watchmen at the government print
ing Office are said to be considerably
wrought up over their pay. Referring to
a communication signed "R. H. which
recently appeared in The Star, q member
of the force said:
1.-The correspondent asks why should the
watchmen at the public printery receive a
higher salary than those Of other depart
ments?'
I'm reply I will say because, under the
act of Congress- March 2, 1892, which grant
ed to all employees of this office who worked
between the hours of 8 pm. and 8 I'm. 20
per cent in addition to their regular salary,
we were obliged to take it and obey the
law Members knew that our duties were
more exacting' than others, and. there
fore, included watchmen in the bill. In
the departments the Office doors, desks and
valuables are locked up at 4:30 pm In
the printing office all material in process of
manufacture Is and must be left exposed
to the will and fingers of any trespasser;
wherefore we must be constantly alert and
critically watchful Of this in addition to
our other duties.
.'R. H. is a little deficient in reckoning
time. He says watchmen of the bureau
work AIT days. The fact Is that no one in
government employ in this city works more
than 1886 days, and all get paid for 800
Every employe is granted thirty days an
ments an additional thirty days sick leave
with pay. At the bureau watchmen are
allowed annual leave with pay. thirty days;
one Sunday in three months with pay
four days; Saturday half holidays in three
months with pay, six days: and legal holi-
days in the year with pay, seven days;
total. forty-seven days.
'Deducting this from 36o days leaves 31S
actual working days, as against Alt claim
ed by r. H.
'.Watchmen in the government printing
office receive no benefits whatever except
thirty days annual leave.
my daily business intercourse for sew
eraI years with all the officials of the
government printing office enables me to
confidently assert that they are gentlemen
of sense and feeling and especially have
those in authority over the watch force
given evidence of this lately.
I'VE hope and trust that when congress
assemblies action will be taken and bill
passed that will benefit financially every
watchman in government employ through
out this broad land

points Of interest along the way. re-
lated lot of amusing anecdotes and,
best Of ali, WAS also an attentive lis
tener. The consequence was that Mr..
Emerson came to the conclusion that
Mr. Sackett was as charming man
as he had ever met. and it was in this
positive conviction that he accepted
Mr. Sackett's invitation to dine with
him Immediately upon their arrival in
San Francisco. The next morning Mr..
Emerson was ast0nished and annoyed
to find in all the local papers this
startling personal notice: professor

philosopher. scholar and poet, is in our
city as the guest Of J. Sackett. the

Railway Taxes Paid.

The news item of most interest
about the court house during the
past week is the fact of the Nor
them Pacific paying its taxes,
which amount to $40, 237. "a on the
right of way and rolling stock.
The total tax of the county, in
round numbers, is $4,000, and
thus the railroad company pays
about Is per cent of the total. In
addition to this the tax on railroad
lands in this county is about $4,000
the notices for which have recently
been mailed by Treasurer Walker.
That official reports that, in addi-
ton to what the Northern Pacific
has paid, he has collected about
$40, 900 in taxes, over one-fourth
OF the taxes of the county having
already been collected. The treas
urer has made three calls for war
rants since he went into office in
January, aggregating abont 50, 900
which saves the county the E per
cent interest which they bear, in
stead of boarding the cash in the
banks.-Bu|letin.
