WANTS EFFECTIVE LAW
AGAINST SHORT WEIGHTS

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 3.-(Spe-
cial. State Treasurer-elect John w.
Haarer, who by virtue OF the once
he will assume the first OF the year,
will be official sealer OF weights and
measures, will probably ask the leg
islature to revise the statute passed
a year or two after Michigan was ad-
mitted to the union, relative TO
weights and measures.
Haarer estimates that short weights
and measures cost the people Of Mich
igan an immense amount OF money
each year, as he has received infor-
nation that the provisions OF the
present statute are not enforced TO
any great extent throughout the state.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Mr.. Gillespie Is reported to have
asked for specific reasons for the re-
appointment OF Police Commissioner
CrouI The following are submitted.
as some OF many:
First-He has given satisfaction TO
the people at large. and has devoted
himself heart and soul to the depart
ment. When a man Of Mr.. Croul's
standing has done this and Ia willing
TO continue In public service. we
should thank heaven for II and he
should be continued In Office. instead
OF being displaced by a man untried
in this particular service.
Second--Mr Croul has kept Detroit
In the vanguard OF American cities. In
solar as police protection IL con-
cerned. When the traffic squad" was
created by him, many we're inclined
to smile at II as fad. Now all real
lie that the commissioner saw what
was corning in automobile traffio and
prepared for It In time He inaug-
urated the flying squadron. too, which
has shown It's efficiency frequently.
These are simply prominent examples
OF good innovations made by him.
Third-Mr. Croul has a good know-
edge OF military tactics, manual and
equipment This helps much In the
inspection OF men and the systematic
Ing OF drills and work. The result ID
apparent In the trim carriage OF the
men all through, from the superinten-
dent to the newest patrolman. 1t
works deeper, too, helping to give the
members OF the force pride In the
membership, and loyalty to each other
and to the department.
Fourth-Mr Croul's fairness In
dealing with complaints Is acknowl-
edged both by compliments and Off
GERS. Knowing that a fair hclring
will be accorded, always promctls Ell
ficiency.
without In any way decrying Mr..
Gillespie's general ability, or deprecl
ating any services he has rendered, IL
would seem good Judgment TO keep a
man who has given satisfaction, VINO
Is keenly progressive. and who has
had a schooling which helps In details
as mentioned. Furthermore. public
oficial who takes an appointment
from a sense of duty Is generally more
desirable than one who looks TO II as
a reward. SIDNEY T. MILLER.
