S1.OO THE YEAR.
INSPECTING WEIGHTS AND
MEASURES.

III Il TcIlldIkdDlc lIlIllS W uS llldI
most cities of the south pay so lit
tie attention to the very important
matter of inspecting weights and
measures In the northern and
western cities the office of inspector
of weights and measures is next in
rank to that of the mayor and no
community of any pretentions would
think of going along without such
official. Yet here in the south the
matter is almost overlooked, even
in our large cities. For instance the
city of Atlanta has just created such
position and the esteemed Atlanta
Journal, speaking of the matter,
says:
"A month or so ago Alderman
Gambler introduced an ordinance to
create the office of inspector OF
weights and measures. Now that
the ordinance has been approved by
the committee of council to which
it was referred, it should be prompt
ly enacted.
Both for the public's protection
and for the welfare of merchants,
uniform accuracy in weights and
measures is essential as uniform
currency. This end, however, can
not be reached, certainly it cannot
be maintained, except through the
city's supervision. EXactness in
measures and weights is not alto
gether a matter of the merchants
honesty or good intentions. Scales
may easily become out of geer with
out his knowledge That the bust
ness men themselves desire such an
ordinance appears from the fact that
it was originally introduced at the
request of number of coal dealers.
Such men are entitled to the
city's protection against any I'M
scrupulous competition which might
arise. Every due safeguard should
be thrown about a business that is
conducted squarely.
1T is primarily the great mass OF
consumers who will benefit by the
proposed law. The protection OF a
citizens home from fire is no more
important in principle than the pro-
lection of his rights in buying.
Short weights are a direct attack
upon the public good. These are
truisms to be sure, and the general
law in the case is as old as it is
clear; but without some effective
machinery for enforcing the law
half it's efficiency is lost,
There should be competent Of
fetal charged with making com
plete inspection of all weights and
measures at frequent intervals
This is what the proposed ordinance
provides. 1t has the sanction OF
merchants and the warm endorse
ment of every housekeeper. Coun-
Gil should pass it at an early meet
ing"
All that our Atlanta contempt
rary says on the subject is true and
is as much applicable to Brunswick
as it is to Atlanta, and we would
suggest that the city council look
into this subject and try and work

in such an official, The office could
be amalgamated with the office of
sanitation and the sanitary inspec-
tors, with slight Increase in salary,
could perform these duties also.
