Tells Of The Labor In His
Department
And Quotes From Various
Sections Of The Law
Asks For The Cooperation
OF The Knox County People

The following article prepared by
County Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures j. G.. Tinkey, will be of special
interest to the people OF Mt. Vernon
and Knox county:
To the Citizens of Knox County:
We will endeavor through the cour.
tesy of the newspapers of the coun-
tytoacquaint you with some of the facts
regarding the new weights and meas
ures laws as amended May 18th, 1911,
and hope by so doing that the county
sealer will have your cooperation and
that Knox county will be the first in
the state to have clear record.
Section 1865, r. S. 142 designates
the state dairy and food commissioner
as state sealer of weights and meas.
ures and charges him with the en-
forcement of all weights and meas.
ures laws, and in the performance Of
such duties he may use the services OF
any persons employed under his de-
partment The primary idea of the
law was the establishment of uniform
standards throughout the state. Also
to promote uniform methods of inspec.
tion testing and sealing and the pro-
lection of the consumer and business
interests. Under the law the weights
and measures officer is not simply a
sealer but is the officer whose duty
it is to see that the weights and meas
ures under. his charge are correct al
so that they are correctly used, and
that the laws relating to weights and
measures are properly enforced
Section 7965-1--The state dairy and
food commissioner or his deputy or
any other duly authorized sealer of
weights and measures or his deputy
may inspect and test any weight,
measure, balance or other weighing or
same is used as maintained for use
and if such weight, measure, balance
or other weighing or measuring de
vice Is found to be false or fraudulent
or cannot be made to conform to the
legal standard, the same shall be con
demned and contiscated by the said
sealer or deputy sealer. Under this
section the prime object of all weights
and measures inspection is to secure
full weight and measure and that the
purchasing of commodities on ra
Il, - o;rrh
merical count forms an equitable bas'
is of dealing for the producer distrib
utor and consumer. The elimination OF
false and the securing of correct ap-
paratus is only the first step in the
work The sealer in many places re-
