Chief Of Weights and Measures
Says Public Pays For Ninety Percent
OF Weights and Measure Errors

Austin, March IA More than 90
per cent Of the mistakes made by
merchants In weighing and mensur-
ing are made against the buying
public, according 90 Kit Robinson,
chief Of the weights and measures
division of the state markets and
warehouse department. Inspector.
reports show, Mr. Robinson said,
that conditions are improving, but
there are too many violations re-
ported for all of them 90 be hon
est mistakes.
Manufacturers, producers and
trades people are not proceeded
against in court on flimsy charges
or on their first offence he said,
but everybody is given an oppor-
tunity TO show proper respect and
regard for the law. There are un-
scrupulous dealers in all lines OF
trade, however, and il becomes nee
essary to give object lessons
Mr.. Robinson exhibited several
inspectors reports 20 illustrate vi0-
lations Of the law which affect the
buying public. The reports show
ed that 1875 short weight scales were
condemned in one city alone. In
another smaller city, according Co
the reports, the gas pumps were
found 90 be defrauding buyers Of
approximately $500 gallons Of gas
oline in the course Of a months
business. One case reported cou-
cerncd a dealer who was delivering
less than three gallons Of gas ON a
five-gall0n safe. In another instance,
"a report showed, seventy-one out Of
eighty-one packages Of commodities
delivered were found 90 be short
weight. Unprincipled wood deal
ers, another report stated, admitted
delivering onc-half a cord Of wood
while. collection was made for "a
full cord. Small buyers were found
20 b. paying not less than SO a
cord for blocks.
In two Of the most popular COM
modities-bread and butter-a great
saving has been brought about by
recurring the delivery Of a sixteen
ounce loaf Of bread instead Of the
thirteen-ounco loaf Butter IS watch
ed strictly. Bread is the only COM
modify in which any tolerance rs
shown in permitting sales, which Is
allowed after the bread is twenty
four hours old.
"The inspectors have saved many
dollars for the state in flour inspec-
ti0n work Many Inspections develop
cd q shortage Of one pound or more
for the forty-eight pound sack. One
pound on each such sack means a
half million dollars a year 90 flour
users IN Texas A saving Of half
pound 10 the sack means a saw
ing Of over a quarter Of a million
dollars
while the primary object Of the
division Of weights and measures Is
to standardize al weights and meas
ures there IS apparently no limit 20
the amount OF educational work
yet to be- done" Mr. Robinson said
