Strict enforcement OF the law
pertaining TO weights and meas
ures is bringing about a condition
that is rather Embarrassing, II not
unjust. 10 many OF Amanllo's
merchants and manufacturers.
Enforcement officers said that
they warned the merchants sew
eral weeks ago that they would
return here and make strict
canspsign. But the results have
been such that both merchants
aud consumers are even DIS
gruntled.
Few Amarillo merchants arc
dishonest and have intentions OF
robbing their customers. They
have been placed in a difficult 81
uation because OF the charges
filed against them. For instance,
q baker is charged with giving
short weight. fIe is allowed one
ounce shrinkage on a pound Loaf
OF bread by statute. an ounce and
onc-hali ON a pound and one-hali
loaf. II is charged that these
bakers have been fined for bread
that weighed under the net
weight OF 10 ounces for a pound
and not under the minimum rs
allowed by law.
A business man faces a charge
in corporation court. He is told
that he will be fined $40 ii he
pleads guilty. He will pay that
fine rather than face a test case
that will cost him $40 or $50. IL
he wins. Belief has been ex-
pressed that practically every
person fined in Amarillo could
have won the case. had he be.
lieved that the cost OF winning
would be within reason.
A retailer bought some sweet
potatoes by crate. the weight sup
