Anacostian Calls Attention to Short
Measure in Fruit and Tomatoes.

Short weight and foul fruit and tomato
boxes are the subject of a complaint
made to the District Commissioners by ].
II. Spence Of Anacostia.
While the Commissioners are taking
steps to get a law compelling bakers to
sell loaves of bread of standard size"
says the writer .'it would be we'll to look
into the matter Of short measure in fruit
and tomato boxes. particularly the latter.
Nearly every trucker makes his own
boxes, and when tomatoes are scarce and
high priced he makes his boxes smaller.
AS i understand 1t, tomato box should
be made to hold a bushel, but / have
found a great many that will hold not
more than three pecks and a little over.
Now, I agree with your honorable board
that there should be law that Will en-
able the consumer to know that he is
getting his moneys worth. 1t is not only
the size OF the fruit and tomato boxes
that l complain of, but the filthy boxes
that I have bought from these truckers
on the market line"
In replying to the letter the Commits
sioners will call attention to bill which
they recommend to Congress for passage
providing for a standard size OF recep-
tacles used for the sale Of farm and gar
den produce.
