BOYER FILES
HIS REPORT:
WANTS AUTO
Says Dealers Throughout the
County Complied With
Regulations

Calling attention to the good CO.
operation of dealers in the county in
complying with regulations OF the
Food Administration last year. and
the few penalties necessary, Harry
A. Boyer, inspector of weights and
measures. to-day filed his annual re-
rcrt with the County Commission.
ers.
Mr.. Boyer also recommends the
purchase of an automobile to be used
by the office so that more frequent
tests can be made of weighing and
measuring devices throughout the
county. He includes a detailed state
ment also of the tests he made last
year.
War Benefited office
Speaking of the cooperation with
the Government, Mr.. Boyer says, in
part:
THE office had the pleasure of be-
ing identified, to a certain extent,
with all the war activities during the
past year, not only in the way Of
participating in the numerous drives,
but also early in the year the in
spectors of weights and measures
throughout the state were practically
drafted into the food and fuel con-
servation activities. This was, more
or less, foreign to our line of work.
but the experience certainly helped
the office and, in most cases, bene-
fitted the dealers who handle the COM
modities that were under Government
supervision. 1t is a pleasant recol-
lection. and certainly matter of con-
graduation, that so few merchants
were penalized in Dauphin county,
and while this office does not claim
any particular credit for the situa-
tion directly, there is no doubt that
the close association with the larger
| dealers helped wonderfully. in the in
depreciation of the many rulings. To
| the best of our knowledge. no flour
mills were closed at all and but one
merchant fined for violations of the
| ORDERS"
Mentions Legislation
Inspector Boyer also mentions the
| tendency on the part of dealers to
| install accurate and dependable in
struments for weighing and measur-
| ing commodities. He states also
| that plans are being made to have
the Legislature pass law abolishing
the use of dry measures and com
pelling the sale of all commodities BY
weight.
In addition to urging the purchase
| of an automobile, Mr.. Boyer explain:
the need OF additional standard
weights and weighing devices as par
of the office equipment.
During the year he tested 6,14.
weight measures and scales, sealed
5,906, adjusted 39S and condemned
236. OF this total, there were 54'
scales tested, 516 sealed, 110 adjust
ed, "a condemned; 1,1SS liquor meas
ures tested, 1,142 sealed, 46 con
demned; 1.4O4 dry measures tested
1856 sealed. 4S condemned; 1,32'
miscellaneous weights tested. 1.31:
sealed, SO adjusted, 15 condemned
1874 avordupois weights tested. 1853
sealed, 235 adjusted. SO condemned.
