Owing to the acute fuel situation
which faces the state for the coming fall
and winter, the department of weights
and measures is taking steps to see that
purchasers of fuel obtain full weight and
measure. The department has investi-
gated one complaint recently where
short measure of wood was found and
the party who sold the wood made up
the shortage when requested to do so.
Wood can be sold only by the cord or
fraction thereof. and not by the load.
Coal must be sold by the ton or fraction
thereof and not by the basket The de-
partment will render any service pos
sible in the way of checking up loads of
coal or wood purchased by citizens in the
state and as far as possible eliminate
this branch of profteering.
