City Hall Makes People

Why doesn't the alleged city de.
partment of Public Service get after
the fraudulent weighing machines,
with which the city is infested?
Can you guess why 1t doesn't?
There are 1O2,641 of these machines
scattered all over the city on city
sidewalks.
II is safe to say that 100000 of them
are out of order most of the time.
They yield an immense revenue, as
each patron is obliged to give up one
cent for the privilege Of finding out
how much he does not weigh.
Another fraud on the public is the
counterfeit gum vending cent-in-the
slot machine, which in the majority Of
cases, takes the cent but yields no
gum.
why is 1t that the City Department
of Public Service permits these frauds
to exist?
