STANDARD MEASURE
MUST Be USED NOW
Letter Received From Com
missioner of Weights
and Measures.
ICE DEALERS NOTICE
Is Issued Warning Against
Charging Deliverymen
For Amount.
ICE DEALERS NOTICE

In a communication sent to the
board of works this morning by the
state commissioner of weights and
measures, notice was issued to noti-
fly all ice dealers that ice must be sold
by weight and not by lump, and that
the ice dealers shall not charge the
ice delivery man for the amount which
goes from the plant, but for the actual
number of pounds delivered to Gus
toners. 1t is unlawful to sell berries
by the basket, the law providing that
standard weight only shall be used.
The members of the board called
attention to the fact that it has be-
come general practice to sell straw
berries by the basket, containing less
than a quart in all cases. Among
other things, the new law makes 1t a
misdemeanor for a servant or agent to
deliver less than the quantity repre-
sented.
City Attorney Bond differed with
| Commissioner Barnard in his interpre-
tation of several parts of the law, but
stated that he will make an investi-
CATION to make sure before taking any
dCtlOu III LuS H1dJUeT
! The following letter was received
| from Mr.. Barnard:
| The weights and measures law as
j amended at the last session of the
legislature, among other things, pro-
vides that all commodities shall be
sold by standard weight or measure.
This provision makes illegal the for
mer practice of selling by basket, box
/ or lump, and is especially applicable
to the regulation of the sale of ice.
Under the provisions of the law ice
can be legally sold only by weight or
measure, and you are hereby instruct
/ ed to advise the ice dealers of your
city that all ice be weighed when de
| livered and the price determined upon
the basis Of that weight
Your attention is further called to
/ the fact that the law as amended
makes it midemeanor, not only to
sell, or offer for sale, less than the
| quantity represented, but in addition
penalties the servant or agent who
delivers less than the quantity he rep
resents. In other words, the dealer in
ice shall require payment not for the
ice which leaves his plant, but the
actual delivery made to customers.
Please advise all ice men of your city
of this change in the law.

ing a complete reorganization. None
of the speakers touched on the ques-
tion of placing a Republican city tick
ct in the field this year but nearly all
of those who attended the meeting
were heartily in favor of such action

at convention.
Mayor w. w. Zimmerman attended
the meeting as did Gus Kennepohl,
president of the board of public works,
who was formerly an active Democrat
ic leader. The presence Of DR.. thinner.
man at the meeting caused report

the first held since the election las
