BONDED WEIGHMASTERS ARE
SECURED FOR THE CITY
They VIII Act Rt several Locations
and John Grant Pegs IL
Happy,

John Grant Pegg, city sealer Of weights
and measures, is rejoicing in having ac-
complished something that he has been
working on for some time.
You know" says Mr.. Pegg, that to
establish official Weighing scales in this
city has been very difficult, because the
income Is not sufficient to warrant any
man maintaining such a scale. But now,
through the assistance Of Mayor Dahlman,
vo have succeeded In getting bonded
weighmasters to act as official
weighers at these locations: Thirtioth
street and the Belt line, Forty-fifth and
Dodge, Forty-third and Hamilton. Twenty-
fifth and L~eavenworth, Twentieth and
Vinton, Ninth and jackson, Tenth and
Howard, Fourteenth and Gass, Sixteenth
and lizard, Twelfth and Nicholas"
These stations, MIR. Pegg says. will serve
all the purposes OF dealers and the public
the charge being only 10 cents for weighins
any load. The official ticket will accom-,
pany the sales ticket, and purchasers OF
any commodity can satisfy themselves
that they are getting correct weights.
