NET WEIGHT LAW.
THE net weight law was passed in
1918 and statutory provision entrusted
to the department Of agriculture with
other provisions of the pure food law.
III this way the responsibility was
charged to the bureau of inspection.
This statute, the newest Of any
phase Of the pure food law, occupied
most of the inspectors attention for
the first six months of the year. In
spectors, in connection with the other
duties Of their inspection work, noted
the markings Of packages and the find
ings have been most interesting.
THE correspondence relative 70 the
marking of butter has necessarily been
very large, but the law has almost uni
versally been complied with. In some
instances the manufacturers Of butter
have included their name and address
together with the required net weight
which, while not necessary, is an ac-
ton which is very commendable. Some
little difficulty has been experienced
in requiring the bakers to mark bread
which is wrapped, but generally sneak
ing the bakers within the State have
apparently taken pains to meet Ire re-
quirements Of the law

The members Of the Highway Com
mission, Philip J. Deering, VIM. NJ.
Aver and Frank A. Peabody. and Chief
Engineer Paul D. Sargent were occu-
pied on Friday in going over the pro-
posed Gardiner Brunswick State trunk
highway routes, of which one had been
laid out by the commission and two
others were proposed at the hearing on
the matter on jan 20, 1916, at the
State House.
1t will be remembered that a route
was laid out along. the kennebec river
route Some of the residents of the
western part of Richmond and other
towns in that section objected to that
location of the road and turned out

advocates of the river route. thinking
the matter practically settled, failed to

bringing hundreds of river people and
the crowd numbered nearly 1000 people,
requiring the chamber Of the House OF
Representatives to accommodate them.
The hearing lasted all day, both sides
of the two routes ably presenting their
claims for the use of their plans and
a third route being presented by peo-
pie from Lewiston and sections their
line would accommodate.
The present investigation Of the
routes by the commissioners and the
chief engineer is to determine where
the trunk line shall be located. and no
matter which one is selected someone
will undoubtedly say the other would
have been better.
