and built by w Scott Libbey, the dead
financier might be sold to the same
people who control the Portland
Street Railroad which Is part of the
Cumberland County Light & Power

Co. deny that anything of the kind
has been considered by them as yet.
The road was built by Mr.. Libbey and
they had no interest in 1t except that
its cars might come over the rails of
the Portland road.
1t is regarded as extremely proba-
BILE that the estate may open the road
on the date planned by Mr.. Libbey
and that it may continue to handle
the business of the line. The dead fl
nancier had a particular affection for
his new road and because of this the
heirs to the estate may continue to
keep it in the family. Rumors that the
whole property might be sold, however,
are heard on all sides and will be
current until it is found out just what
the estate of Mr.. Libbey does with the
line.

Report OF Sealer of
Weights and Measure

The annual report of Orrin B. Frost,
sealer of weights and measures, for
the year ending Jan. 81, 1914, which
has been submitted to the city coun-
Gil, reads in part as follows:
THE dealers have seen the wis
dom of having their scales. weights
and measures adjusted and sealed ac-
cording to the requirements OF the
law to the extent that nearly every
scale. weight or measure in the city
has now been tested,
Il feel satisfied that the work ac-
complished has been for the best pro-
lection of the public. 1t has been the
aim of this department during the
past year to correct evils where they
existed, and in a measure TO see that
they continue corrected without re-
sorting to sensational or radical meas
ures. To see that these evils con-
tinue corrected will make necessary
frequent inspection but under the
present fee system there is not much
incentive for the department to un-
dertake this matter. Calling upon a
dealer once a year and testing his
scales, measures, ETC., as prescribed
by the State law, is not often enough
Frequent inspection will soon be a
necessity.
Then. too, the inspection of hawk
ers, peddlers and junk dealers, il
thoroughly done, would occupy con-
siderable time as this class of business
men has no settled location, SO the
sealer to a certain extent has to de-
pend upon the chance of meeting
them on the street. To correct this
condition I recommend that peddlers
hawkers and junk dealers be required.
by city ordinance, to obtain license
from the sealer of weights and meas
ures. This license would indicate that
any measuring devices which they
were using had been tested and were
found to be in accordance with the
law.
There have been no re-weiShings
of coal this past year nor can there
be this coming year unless the deal
