RICHARDSON WILLING

Because the laws governing the SUBJ

Col. John ID. Richardson, register of

after investigation, that many of the
weights and measures throughout Fir-

anyone willing to examine them.
According to the statutes. all the
weights and measures are to be tested
every two years. The circuit Judge
OF every county and city names the
examiner, who l. required to test every
weight or measure upon the demand
OF the merchant or storekeeper.
Colonel Richardson Is informed.

allowed only five cents for each test
and as he Is allowed no travelling ex-

instruction. but Colonel Richardson

Unreasonable Demand
1T Is unreasonable to expect the
merchants to demand an examination
OF their weights and measures when
they will have to pay for such ex-
animation. even though the price be
small, and on the other hand it Is I'M
reasonable to expect an examiner to
travel across the county at constder-
able expense to himself to examine
weights when the total fees would
amount to no more than 30 cents.
"A good man cannot give his time
TO such work and only a good man
Is wanted. The result in that many
Of the weights and measures are not
being looked after.
The law il old and Anticipated.
Some OF its provisions were passed in
the early forties. and have been al

BY such an arrangement we will
