WOOD MUST NOW BE
SOLD BY THE CORD
Commissioner W. T. Scott Says Practice
of Selling by Load Must
be Stopped

MONTPELIER, Sept l4-Wood priced
at SO a cord has been found by the
weights and measures. department to
cost the consumer at the rate of from
$3.50 to SO cord when bought by the
load. According to the officials there is a
practice among dealers in wood to sell
by the load and this, according to Com
missioner Walter T. Scott, usually results
in the consumer paying more than he
should. The disagreeable feature of this
method is the fact that the purchaser
has no means of determining how much
constitutes a load and although he may
think he has received short measure he
has no way of knowing
As a result of this practice the weights
and measures department has made the
following ruling to govern the sale OF
wood:
ITO all persons selling wood in Yer
mont:
Acting under authority of section 587S
C. L. 1917. | make the following regula-
ton regarding sale of wood in the state
of Vermont. This regulation to take eff
feet Immediately.
"All wood sold for fuel purposes in the
state of Vermont, with the exception OF
slabs, edgings, kindling. clippings and
| other mill waste, shall be sold by the
cord or fraction thereof
A cord shall contain l23 cubic feet OF
wood. A cord OF l6-inch wood shall con
| tain the equivalent of three piles of wood
four feet high, eight feet long and II
inches wide. A cord of II inch wood shall
contain the equivalent of four piles o.
wood four feet high eight feet long ana
II inches wide andsno cord Of any length
wood shall eontaiTi less than l2s cubi
| feet of wood.

Commissioner"
