"a. +. Barnard. state food and drug
commissioner. issued a circular letter
TO the millers. -four merchants and
dealers OF the state. calling attention
TO recent Investigations OF the weight
OF sacks Of -four which disclosed in
many instances a shortage in legal
avoirdupois. In part the circular
which is warning 10 -four men. saws.
There has apparently been a uni
form custom among the miIlers OF
calling sacks labeled "a pounds one
eighth barrels and of selling the
packages as gross weight instead of
net weight. This trade practice is il
legal. for the weight OF a barrel OF
Hour is fixed by law to be 1876 pounds
net. One-eighth barrel is therefore
241z pounds net: one-fourth barrel. 40
pounds net. etc"
Quoting section OF the statute the
circular then says: This paragraph
makes the buyer and seller equally
responsible and requires both parties
to buy and sell only on the basis of n
barrel OF flour being 1876 pounds net"

TO AVOID PAYMENT
Of Burlington Police officer by Pre-
ferring Charges.

Burlington, Sept 27.--The long-de.
layed charges Of alleged physical ineom-
petency against John Lavgne. a former
police officer of the city, have been pre-
| ferred Martin s. Villas. acting. II il
understood, IN the capacity Of private
citizen, yesterday submitted to the police
commissioners charges against Layigne
which, according to the requirements nf
the city charter, should have been made
long ago by the mayor, but which were
neglected and which have resulted in a
claim being made by Layigne against
the city for services.
1t is claimed in The charges made by
Mr.. Villas that Layigne has been unable
TO perform the services of police officer
since last February, although Lavignc
claims that he has reported for duty
several times since that date and has
been working at his trade ever since his
dismissal from the police force.
A committee, composed OF aldermen
Barnes. Cowles and Coffey, was appoint
ed to investigate the matter and to call
upon DR.. G. II. Beeeher, who attended
Lavigne, for an opinion as to the lat
ter's condition lin report submitted
to the board, Mr. Villas in his capacity
of city attorney advised that if ehargcs
were made at once the city might pos
sibly escape paying the amount Of La
yigne's claim The charter provides that
charges in such case may be made by
the mayor, and as the board Of aldermen
have never authorized Mr.. Villas to pro-
ceed in the matter, it is assumed that
Mr.. Wins brings the charges as an indi-
vidual, in order to bring the matter to
a settlement.

GOOD ROADS IDEA CROWS.
Windham County Now Talking Of Tour
for Legislators.

Brattleboro, Sept. 27-It has beer
suggested here that Windham county
follow the example started BY franklin
Washington and Rutland counties in the
interest Of the good roads movement.
In Rutland county, the citizens Of the
city OF Rutland and neighboring towns,
have offered the free use Of their cars
fol the trip and the money to defray
the trip is to be raised by popular sub
seription. They plan to inspect the
state roads Of eastern Massachusetts
and western New York, and the trip is
being managed BY tue Rutland improve
ment league.
Windham county is unfortunate in
the plans for such a trip. as all public
interest and activity will be conferted
III the success of the Valley fair, and
after the fair, it may Be difficult in arr
ranging convenient date. 1t Is prob
able that if trip IS not arranged in
Windham county this year, the public
spirited citizens OF the county viii keep
the idea in mind and arrange such a
trip for the legislators of 1912 general
assembly The Bellows Falls board Of
trade has already appointed special
committee to confer with the Brattle-
boro board Of trade about organizing
a tour, and their entative plan would
be to take the Windham county legis-
lators over some Of the state roads built
in New Hampshire and Massachusetts,
80 that the lawmakers could compare
them with Vermont highways
