State Inspector Jerboe Feb. 10
for INSTRUMENTATION and unsatis-
factory service.
According to P. J. Sweeney,
chief deputy in Tacoma, it has
been the practice of the office to
lay off each deputy a few weeks
every year for financial reasons.
When 1t became McKenna's turn
for lay-off for the last two
weeks in February, he refused to
accept the proposition, claiming
his full wages for the month.
'Jarboe then paid him up and
discharged him for insubordina-
ton.
Deputy Sweeney admitted to-
day that warehouse weights have
ben accepted by the office in GER
tain cases where warehouses have
unloaded carloads of grain after
neglecting to notify the state Of
ifce.
This has been done, he said,
with the understanding that if
there proved to be any mistake
or misunderstanding, it would be
made right with the shipper.
