Mr.. Sullivan made an address at the
convention explaining the laws in this

and measures and also the methods
used by the local department in taking
care of the public and In Furnishing
dishonest tradesmen.
Much of the time of the convention

every manufacturer Of scales in this
country was represented. The Newark

ing these scales and are now familiar
with some types never seen In Newark.
Most Family Scales Wrong.
1t vas brought out at the conference
that most family scales are inaccurate
and that oftentimes the merchant is
~unjustly accused of giving short weight.
Speaking of the visit to Albany, Mr..
Caufield said:
While 1t is true that we learned q
great deal by seeing the new types Of
scales, 1t is also true that none of the
cities is doing more work than is done
In Newark. We made a good impress
sion because of what we said concern
ing our city. We found that in New
York the sealers have the backing OF
the State to a greater extent thar we
have, but We a not found that they
do more work or better work than Is
doneby the department here.
Mr.. S%ullivan's talk was we'll re-
ceived. He told of the new laws be-
ing introduced in the Legislature and
our efforts to insure the giving of hon
est weight throughout the city"

Finally, he declared, he received 81

Justice Swayze interrupted at this
point with. Mr.. Mulvaney, did you
inform the committee that Maxon
would sell the site for $1S,000?'
NO" replied the witness.
Mr.. McCarter then inquired as to
whether Mulvaney had heard the testi-
mony of County Collector Stephan
Egan, who earlier in the day swore
that the warrants for the moneys re-
CURED by the Court Hous committee
had been delivered upon the advice
of Mr.. MulVaney.
The counsel for the committee testi-
fed that Egan's statement was
probably so, but the witness could not
recollect the transactions perfectly.
"Whv did you direct Egan to pay
s1S,0 900 for the property and later 49, 900
to Maxon. which was clearly $4,000 too
much?" inquired Justice Swayze.
The witness replied that he was not
aware that the amount was excessive.
He Their declared that he had never
heard the name of the Jersey City

where the libra. is now located. Mich
olas admitted that he wanted the
