SCRANTON SKETCHES.
An Important Disadvantages
ance Rally --Hymeneal.

Scranton, August 17:-Dr w S
Lynch is in receipt of copies of opin-
ions rendered by Attorney General
Thomas H Peoples July Is and l6
last in reference to the amount Of
toll to be taken for the grinding of
wheat, etc. Sections 1887 and 1888
of the Code of Laws of 1912 are
self-explanatory:
"2387. No person shall take more
toll for grinding wheat. corn, rye or
any other grain into good meal or
flour than one.eighth part of any
quantity under ten bushels, and for
ten bushels or any quantity above,
at one time brought, one-tenth part
only; and for all grain as aforesaid
chopped for hominy, feeding stock
or distilling, one-sixteenth part.
"23S8. Any person or persons TAX
ing more toll than hereinbefore de-
scribed shall be subject to pay fine
to the amount of ten times the value
of the toll so taken. to be recovered
in the most summary way before
the nearest Magistrate; one-half to
the prosecutor and the other half to
the person aggrieyed."
The following letter sets forth
clearly the meaning of the statute
given:
July Is. 1915.
Mr. A E Fielder.
Pinewood. S G.
Dear Sir:
Il am in receipt of yours of the
18th inst in reference to the toll for
grinding wheat, in which you ask if
the statute includes the grinding of
wheat and boiling it into flour.
Il am herewith enclosing you a
copy of the formal opinion referred
to in your letter, which sets out the
statute. From this it will be seen
that the toll is to cover the grinding
of the wheat into -four. 1t seems to
me that the boiling process, after
the grinding. is something that has
to be done in order to make it into
-four, and there is no doubt in my
mind but what the amount of toll
allowed by statute is the maximum
amount that can be charged for the
cleaning grinding and boiling of the
wheat into -four.
Il hope this plain.
Yours very truly,
THOMAS H PEOPLES,
Attorney General"
