A table showing the prices in Eng

a general average two and a quarter

The general average of increase on

In this country the food values are
taken on a general average of 1899,

sIr-I noticed in your issue Of last
night that there is some talk OF pass
ing a bill in this Legislature 10 abol-
ish the office Of sealer OF Weights and
Measures in each county, and 10 have
a State Sealer.
7 sincerely hope that il such he the
case, the man who has been Sealer
Of Weights and Measures In New Cas-
Tie County, will be remembered. He
is the only man who has really been
on the job Since the law was put
on the statute books, in 1852, there
has never been an arrest or oonvic.
tion for violation OF the weights and
measures law. I'm either Kent or sus-
sex county. Not so with New Castle
county. for the huckster and the
butcher are aware OF the fact that Nc
Knight is on the Job. hope that
our governor will realize that he is
