FULL MEASURE

State SeaIer Has Started on
a New Crusade.
(From the NEWS Co,,esnoufent ,

Trenton, May 18:-Following
his crusade against the sale of
short-weight butter in this state,
William L. Waldron, State Superin-
tendent of Weights and Measures,
has started another against the sale
OF ice cream in short measure boxes.
Mr.. Waldron today sent out notices
to his three assistants and the vari-
GUS county and city superintendent
to begin immediate prosecution Of
all merchants who sell ice cream in
boxes that are short of capacity.
This crusade is based upon tests
made by Superintendent WaldrOn of
numerous one-quart and one-pint ice
cream boxes, gathered by himself
and his assistants throughout the
state. The test showed that in most
instances the boxes were short Of
the capacity for which the customer
paid. The deficiency in quart
boxes ranged from one to seven
ounces and in the pint boxes from
one to three ounces.
Since February l, last, Mr.. VALID
ron says, the various county and
municipal superintendent of
weights and measures have confs-
Gated about 1900 defective scales
and about 1000 crooked measures.
There have been about so prosecu-
tons in the state during this period
and the amount paid in fines for
violations of the weights and meas
ures law has aggregated $4,000.
These fines have been imposed prin-
eipally for short weights on various
commodities.
The results TO date are highly
gratifying" said Superintendent
Waldron today, "but there is a great
deal yet to be done. Every county
in the state except Ocean and Passaic
now has a county superintendent,
and every city and town of any con-
sequence also has a superintendent.
I'm order to make certain that the
superintendent are doing their work
properly the state superintendent
will, from time to time, make in
spections of territory that has been
assigned his assistants. A system
of daily reports has been inaugural
ed, requiring each inspector to mail
to this department every day a COM
plete report of his movements. with
reference to confiscate scales and
measures, arrests, etc. In this man
ner u department keeps daily tabs
OF the superintendent, and our in
spectors in turn, follow closely the
activity of the city and county men"
