Investigations made of sale of eggs
in Philadelphia alleged not to be
fresh, but sold as such, have re-
suited in finding nine out of twelve
that We're stale in two instances re-
ported to James Foust, Director of
the State Bureau of Foods. In an
other case 10 of IL eggs sold as
strictly fresh" were found stale,
while in another eight of a dozen
were below par. Arrests were
ordered in each case. The State
food agents brought 33 suits for
violation of milk and ice cream acts
and two for violation of the cold
storage act in selling goods that had
been stored longer than the legal
period. The revenue of the bureau
for licenses for sale of oleomargarine

the first of the year the bureau in
come, which is largely made up of

$525,000.
Two new questions regarding n
certificate of notification filed with
the Public Service Commission by a
public service corporation relative to
issues of stocks or bonds have turn
ed up in the action against the
Wilkes-Barre company now before
the Commission. The company was
charged without having claimed ap-
proval by the Commission of bond
issue, but admitted the error. Then
the question came up as to whether
it had to follow in its prospectus for
the sale of the bonds the exact word
ing of the certificate it filed giving
notice. Another point was how long
life had a certificate. The Wilkes
Barre company filed the certificate
months ago. The Wilkes-Barre
Light Company, another concern, has
asked a certificate of valuation prior
to issuing a million dollars in bonds.
