AMEND WEIGHTS AND
MEASURE ORDINANCE
Amendments to Abolish Fees for In
speeding will Be offered To-
night in Council.

Two amendments 70 the present or
dinance governing the duties of the
city sealer will be brought to the atten-
ton of the Common Council tonight by
Alderman julius A. Meyer, Of the Thir-
Ward.
The amendments, if passed, viii do
away with the fee system and make It
obligatory upon the city sealer to i'm
spect at least once a year all scales or
balances used for weighing merchandise
or foodstuffs in the city, without cost.
The amendment to section 2a3 of the
ordinance provides that the inspector
shall examine the scales at least once a
year. An amendment to section 264 pro-
vides that the city sealer shall not
charge for this inspection, and shall
charge for inspecting scales only when
requested to make inspection by an
owner outside the regular inspection.
AS the ordinance stands, the sealer
charges for testing scales. This was
found detrimental to the department,
which has been behind for some time.

pital, Then in Cell with COMPANION.

Third Precinct police station at 2:SO

entered the place and after buying q drink
attempted to "clean out the house" He
said he found it necessary to ''lay out"
one of them with a club, which he keeps
for emergency cases, and asked that the
ambulance be sent out. Desk Sergeant
virgins sent Roundsman McRell and
Patrolman Scully to the place.
They arrived in time to see a man on
the floor open his eyes for the first time
since he was struck. The other man was
still at the bar. His fighting mood de-
serted him, however, as soon as the blue
coats entered.' He humbly submitted to
arrest and st. James's Hospital had no
terrors for the other man. His head was
battered up, but he was fixed up and Joined
his chum in a cell in less than an hour.
In court this morning the man with the
battered head said he was Andrew Sap
rick, n the fellow whose head was
