charges.
THE law. while brief. is explicit
and mandatory" declared Inspector
Dyas. and provides that ice sold az
retail must be sold By weight only.
and provides penalty Of $3.50 fine or
three months imprisonment for de-
livering and charging for a smaller
quantity than the quantity represent
ed. While the department realizes
that the ice man cannot cut every
piece Of ice 10 an exact weight. he
can and should charge only for the
actual number Of pounds delivered.
Any violation of this provision com
ing 10 the attention OF the department
will be followed By prompt prosecu-
ton.
AS the only method by which the
ice can be sold by weight only is TO
weigh each cut. this department will
consider the finding of any retail ice
wagon not equipped with a pair OF
scales as prima facie evidence that
the ice is being sold by measurement
or guess, which is contrary 10 law
The department is badly handicap

STATE FAIR LEVY PRESENTS
PROBLEM 70 ATTY. GENERAL

PHOENIX, Aug S.-Something was
encountered by the board Of equali-
cation yesterday when a written re-
quest was presented from Assistant
Auditor Darcy that inasmuch as the
governor had decreed that no state
fair would be held this year, the
board proceeded to make no levy for
the fair this year.
The board referred the request 20
the office of the attorney general, ask
ing an opinion as early as possible, as
the state levy must be made up not
later than tomorrow. II was the opin-
ion Of the members that a levy for the
state fair appropriation wouIdy have
10 be made anyhow; that il cannot ex-
ercise discretion in the matter.
Assistant Attorney General Hill also

OFFICERS OF STATE LAWS

PHOENIX, Aug. 9.-The secretary
OF state may distribute TO county and
state officers printed copies of the SEES
sion laws OF 1921 in excess of the num-
Der specifically authorized TO be dis
tributed by the provisions of section
go Of the revised statutes OF 1913, ac-
cording of an opinion made public to-
day by the office of the state attorney
general.
The opinion. whish was written by
Assistant Attorney General George r.
Hill and Special Assistant o. E.
Schupp. read in part as follows:
The policy of the law in this re-
spect cannot clearly be gathered from
the said provision of section 60. for
the reason that al all times hence its
enactment in 1913, and so far as we
know, at all times since its original
enactment in 1913, and so far as We
know, at all times since its original
enactment in 1901. the statute has
been regarded as directory, and as
merely fixing a minimum number Of
statutes which must be distributed.
III has been the opinion of our pre-
decessors and it is the opinion CT this
office that I vas the intention @! tle
legislature that public officers Of the
state and counties and each justice D:
the peace should be provided with al
actuate number of copies OF the stat
ute and session laws.
The secretary Of state has been
authorized 10 cause such laws 10 be
printed, and he has been made the
custodian thereof and therefore it is
bis duty to make such distributions Of
such laws; and while he must furnish
the copies TO the officials designate
in section so, il is our opinion that sec
ticn so does not cast any limitation
upon the number Of copies which he,
in his discretion, may furnish 10 the
state officers. the county officers and
the justice Of the peace"
