Special TO Times Republican.
The following letter has been mailed
from the office Of the state dairy and
food commissioner to all dealers in
coal:
Gentlemen: F'requen, complaints
of short weights are reaching the de-
partmeut. The inspectors have re-
weighed many loads ~ coal and found
substantial shortages. Prosecutions
Will follow.
There are several reasons FOR the
shortages. In some cases dishonesty
has been practjced. Al times weigh
men have been extremely careless
Wagons have been overloaded and coal
lost between the yard and the place Of
delivery.
Short weights will not he tolerated.
Purchasers are entitled TO receive all
the coal they pay for. The department
must insist that coal be weighed more
closely. The weighman should break
as close as ten pounds rather than at
nifty or one hundred, as seems 10 he
the practice in some cities. Inspectors
have found some dealers receiving the
advantage OF the breaks both on the
gross and the tare.
Keep your scales clean q all times.
Balance often. Examine the pits at
least once week. When new scales
are installed make sure that there is
a. least four foot clearance 50 that
one may get under the scales to make
repairs or 10 clean them.
DO not overload Your wagons
Drivers often start from the yard or
mine with their loads heaped high and

they are bound 70 lose portion of the

The letter clearly indicates the at

a mile from the institution. People
