SELL BREAD BY
WEIGHT, PLAN
Enactment of Legislation for
That Purpose is Plan of
State Department

TRENTON, Dec. 22.-The enact
ment of Legislation during the COM
ing legislative session providing for
the sale of bread by weight, as well
as the sale of other dry commodities
by weight and legislation fixing a
standard of quality for coal, were the
two outstanding recommendations
contained in the report of the state
weights and measures department,
filed today with Governor Silzer by
j. Harry Foley, superintendent of
the department.
With regard to coal, it was said
that last year, due to the shortage,
saw the worst quality of coal ever
received in New Jersey. The elm
nation of slate, stone and dirt
through legislation, either federal or
state, was strongly advocated in the
report. In addition to the problem
of quality, the weights department
had the question of short weights to
deal with, owing to the increase in
the sale of coal in small quantities.
The small sale" of coal was con-
demned, as by this method, dealers
last season We're able to sell their
coal as high as $28 a ton.
There were 30,S17 deliveries of
fuel re~-weighed, 401 of them being
found of short weight and as a re-
suit, Ill dealers were prosecuted
and paid penalties amounting to
$%3,79S.55.
The defeat of a standard weight
bread bill in the last legislature, as
well as other legislative sessions, and
in states other than New Jersey was
ascribed, by intimation, to the
baking interests.
Another bill looking to the aboli-
ton of the dry measure will be in
troduced in the coming session of
the legislature, it was said.
In a tabulation concerned with
statistics of the department, it was
said that there were 1,001, 0S0 pieces
of equipment tested in the twenty
one counties of the state.
Following is a partial list of tests
for Middlesex and Monmouth:
MiddleseX: S,429 weighing ma
chimes tested; 1856 capacity meas
ures: $50 linear measures; 12,S45
weights tested; 70 pieces of equip
ment condemned; five prosecutions.
Monmouth county: $3.50 weigh
ing machines tested; 761,92S capa-
city measures; 222 linear measures;
1922 weights tested; 1,461 pieces
condemned; eleven prosecutions
netting $3.50 in fines.
