No Complaint of Short Weight
Though hundreds used the scales in
the various market houses, by noon to-
day no complaint of short weight had
been made to the office of the City
Sealer. Most of the person who used
them hurriedly put their purchases on

hugh dial and placed the food back
in the basket, so as not to cause delay
to other persons in line.

The scales are set up in big boxes,

when market opens and locked when
