STATE SEALERS TEST
2312 PAIRS OF SCALES
General Conditions Through
out State Are Improving
Says Buchtel

According to the quarterly report Of
Deputy State Sealer FRED G. Buchtel,
issued today, he inspected and tested
2,312 scales between august 90 and No
vember %. OF this number 1,4S7 scales
we're found accurate and sealed and S25
were found inaccurate at the time of in
spection. Of the inaccurate scales 406
were adjusted or corrected and sealed
and 4l9 were permanently condemned.
A total of 2,277 weights were inspected
and tested and 2,171 were found accur-
ate and passed, and 106 were con
demned.
Two hundred and seven automatic
gasoline and oil pumps were inspected,
173 were found accurate and sealed,
81 were found inaccurate at the time
Of inspection and 2S were corrected and
passed, six oil pumps were condemned.
In addition to the measures mention.
ed above, the various hop yards were
visited during the picking season and
hop measures and scales inspected.
While the large majority of these meas
ures were correct, some Of the scales in
use were inaccurate and caused losses
to the piekers. In such instances new
scales were purchased and installed, and
the piehers reimbursed for the weights
previously not recorded.
A number of the county courts, when
not satisfied with the manner of pill
ing the wood purchased for the coun-
ty, called upon the office to measure
the same, the payments made being
based upon the certified figures of the
office, which resulted in considerable
saving by these counties in the purchase
Of their fuel
"In general the work accomplished
during the last quarter was satisfac-
tory" said Mr.. Buchtel "a large
amount of different territory covered,
and much Of the larger and heavier ap.
paratus inspected. Stock and warehouse
scales TO the number Of 100 or more
were tested. The apparatus at the mu.
nicipal dock, Astoria, Oregon, was test.
ed, and also the equipment in use at
the Union Meat company of North Port
land. As usual the weights of various
commodities held for sale were checked
with the view of ascertaining the cor.
rectness Of the amounts delivered"

way so it could make no differ ence whether the council met weekly or monthly. McAllister was obdurate, however, and de- clared that the term of the coun- cil would be over before any thing was done if things were going to be continually delayed.
 Thompson asserted that 1t was not his idea to postpone consid- eration of the matters mention ed. He thought they could be handled much better by commit tees than by the full council anyway. Mayor Blake had re- marked with resigned air that he motion had failed of a sec ond and was seemingly about to call a halt to the rag chewing when Councilman Poteet applied first aid by suddenly seconding the motion. The mayor at once passed the buck and Thompson respond aye" right enthusiastic ally. The others said nothing that could be distinguished and the mayor declared the motion carried. Councilman McAllister was still loath to let the council get away without doing some. thing about the pumping plant matter and wanted to hear from. MT. Hull who he thought was in the audience. But, it developed that MT. Hull was elsewhere as he failed to rspond to call.
 The meeting then adjourned.

present on the sick list, was the
 ,ily one of the city dads who
 .ailsd d to respond to roll call when Mayor Blake called the g .xteenth common council to or der last night.
 The minutes were read and approved and there were no communications Councilman Rose, chairman of the finance committee, recommended that
 he city accept the sum of fifty
 1ollars in full payment of the
 taxes offered by Al Orland on certain properties taxed at S72. The recommendation was em-
 bodied in a motion to the same
 effect and duly passed on roll call.
 Councilman Thompson of the police committee said that he had granted permission to Doc Kemp to place an advertising ;ign across the street in front of
 he Nonpariel store but, as signs )f this character were contrary to the city ordinances, he asked that the council either approve or discontinue the same.
 He announced that he would ask the council to instruct the city attorney to prepare an ordi7 nance requiring messengers in the red light district, to obtain license and also corporate with the police committee in the preparation of rules and regula-
 ions for the control of the re ,tricted section.
 Council McAllister of the fire and water committee reported that the water system was now in good shape. There were a few leaks but none of any conse- quence.
 Claims and accounts against the city in the sum of $o7o.3o, in which was included the bill of the city auditor for $35o, for his labor in. checking up the city books, preparing the delinquent tax roll, etc, were read by the clerk. Thompson moved that all labor bills be paid and the rest referred to the finance commit tee, but the huge size of the au- ditor's bill caused that important feature of the claim account to be also referred to the finance committee. The balance of the labor accounts were ordered paid.
 Councilman Thompson then submitted an ordinance prohibit ing the maintenance and occur of delapidated buildings and fixing penalties for violation thereof. Under suspension ot the rules the measure was read the second time and adopted. Councilman Poteet presented an ordinance prohibiting the use of the city sewers during the win ter season from November to May I and fixing penalties for violation. After reading by the clerk, Poteet moved that the or tlinance be laid on the table for on week. It was SO ordered.
 Thompson then asked that his resolution of the previous meet ing providing for the sale of cer- tain lots to w. J. Rowe for the sum of $36 be taken from the table and placed upon the road to final passage. The list of properties mentioned in the res olution included lots I to I2 in elusive in blocks II3 to I2o in elusive and lots numbered from } to I2 inclusive in block 1zI.
