QUIZ ROBBINS
AND ASSISTANTS
County Weights and Meas
ures Matters Aired at Meet
ing of FreeholderS

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 16.-
County Supervisor of Weights and
Measures Nathan Robbins, and his
assistant, Joseph Fertig, appeared
before the County Board of Free
holders at tFeir meeting yesterday
in response to a request that they
explain the vast difference in the
number of weights and measures m
spected by each.
The supervisor explained tHat in
asmuch as he alone is responsible to
The state superintendent, it Is neces
S.ry for h:m tc cover the entire ccun-
Is. The original plan of the county
toard WIS to have the superInten.
dent cover one section Of the coun-
~ and his assistant the other.
Report Was Made
Lat ncatk.'s report shows that Mr.,
Robbins inspected 1912 measures and
weights, while PA were inspected by
his assistant. This was explained by
Sir. Robbins as being brought about
due to the fact that many of the
scales inspected by him, have twelve
or fifteen weights. while Mr.. Fertig's
inspections are mainly of computing
scales having no weights.
Report was made to county board
of fruitless attempts made by the
supervisor and his assistant, to catch
ice peddlers who are famed for Civ
ing short weight.
Mr.. Robbins devotes entire time
to the work, while it is assumed that
Mr.. Fertig, who is a paper bag sales
man, makes his inspections while
attending to his personal business.
The explanations made by the in
spectors were evidently satisfactory
as no action was taken by the board.
