One of the greatest though not the

this bottle was around Cape Horn north

drift was approximately 1000 miles The
condition of the Enclosed paper was also
notable considering the length OF time,

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
UNDER STATE CONTROL.

The matter of the installation
of a system of weights and meas
ures and the possible establish
ment Of such department to the
city government, spoken of and
taken up by the city clerk acting
under instructions, has resulted
in advice from the state capitol
that under the laws of 1911, chap
ter 156, a state department of such
nature has been established, Chas.
c. Neale being the incumbent Of
the office of commissioner of
weights and measures, and it
would be useless for the munich
pality to establish such a bureau.
Mr.. Neale advises that his de-
partment will in the course Of the
year inspect every city in the
state, and that any complaints
referred to his department will
receive prompt attention.
