GASOLINE
LAW IS
URGED
Annual Report Of D. c. SeaIer
Of Weights Asks
More Power

Additional inspectors, b better
testing equipment and increased
salaries for employees are asked
for the District Department Of
Weights, Measure and Markets, in
the annual report submitted today
to the Commissioners by George
NJ. Roberts, superintendent.
Urges Closer Inspection
Attention is called in the report
to the necessity for closer inspection
of the sale of gasoline, motor oils
and fuel oils. not only to safeguard
against short measure but also to
prevent sale OF poor quality fuels.
THE subject OF supervising the
quality or gasoline and motor oils
offered for sale and sold is worthy
OF serious consideration" Supedn-
tendent Roberts reported. There
are many grades and qualities Of
these commodities selling at differ
ent prices, but with no supervision.
The motorist has no way of know
ing whether he is receiving a high
quality when he pays high price
New legislation would be aeces.
sary to enable the department to
assume control of this situation.
There is now no law under which
1t can handle the matter"
Closer inspection of milk sales
also Is. urged Mr.. Roberts recon-
mends that one inspector be pro-
vided for full time on inspection OF
milk bottles.
During the past year, according
to the report. inspectors made
9,748 inspection trips on routine
and 1886 surprise inspections.
The total number of scales,
pumps, weights, capacity measures,
linear and other measures examined
during the year was 500, 1928, of
which 1,490 were adjusted and 1884
were condemned. A total OF 2,582
were confiscated and destroyed.
Gasoline Sales Increase
Consumption OF gasoline in the
District has increased to 40 goo, 900
gallons year. according to the re-
port.
The report shows that while
many of the older forms of cheat
ing resorted TO by interruptions
business men are being. outlawed
in the District, new and far more
clever articles are springing up to
take their place.
Some of them are SO cleverly
devised as to bear the stamp of
experts or so-called business
strategists, the report states. The
most common Is to shave off just
q fraction in the weight on each
sale, the total amount of short
weight during a season amounting
to figures which might appall one
who has not investigated the sub.
ject."
The practice of using price cards
denoting fractions of cents is ops
posed by Superintendent Roberts,
such prices preventing accurate
check by the customers and lead
ing to overcharging. Four sales
men operating in one store were
arrested and three convicted in con.
nection with this practice, he
stated.
