Mr.. Barnard said the entire question
meeting of the county and city sealers
provided for in the law and under the
po wer which Mr.. Barnard believes the
law gives him some regulation will be
imposed. which. he believes. will give
the department ample grounds for

the department can compel ice dealers
| to sell coupon books for ice in any
amounts that are multiples of five. in
stead of coupons such as are now sold
In this city and many other places. pro-
viding only for amounts that are
| multiples of twenty-five
| The section of the law under which
Mr.. Barnard claims such power for the

| The state commissioner of weights

time regulations for the guidance of
county and city sealers and the said
regulations shall govern the procedure
to be followed by the aforesaid officers
in the discharge bf their duties"
| The new weights and measures law
does not become effective until the first

said that there were many strawberry

supply of strawberry boxes for the

| would be unfair to these growers to
compel them to throw away these boxes
and buy new ones holding a full quart
| So at his request the date was sci
