SUGGESTS PUBLIC SCALES.
Business Man Believes They Would
Facilitate Transactions

John c. Mann, proprietor of the
Douglass, advocates the providing of
public scales, ut some centrally locat-
cd point in the village. Such scales
says Mr.. Mann, should be placed on
Sheldon street, and would be of such
great service that they would soon pay
for themselves. Hardly "a day passes
but some farmer comes to town with
hay or cattle to sell and both vendor
and purchaser are put to much incon-
venience by reason of there being no
available public scales on which to
weigh the load or the animals. "A
charge of ten cents for the use of the
scales each time anything is weighed,
would be a fair charge, and business
men purchasing hay or commodities
would willingly stand the cost of
weighing"
