PERMIT CHARGE
AIRED BY D. c.

Charges Of maladministration of
the office of John w. Oehmann, Dis
trict Building Inspector. specifying
laxity in the issuance of occupancy
permits, by the Bureau of Efficiency.
were vigorously denied by the Dis.
trict Commissioners and other off.
cials today.
The charges embodied in the old
report of the Bureau of Efficiency
were not only studied by the office
of the Building Inspector when the
report was made last November. but
the matters complained of have, sub
sequently been corrected, they said.
Reports in certain newspapers to
the effect that an attempt had been
made to bury the report and pur-
posely ignore the charges were the
subject of some little criticism by
the Commissioners, who today not
only produced the original report Of
the bureau but the entire file con-
tanning the action taken by the
board.
Oehmann today stated that per-
haps his office has made mistakes
in the issuance of occupancy per-
mits, but defended his office on the
ground that he is hampered by too
little assistance and must call upon
the Police Department to assist him
in checking up on businesses reQuir-
ing occupancy permits.

WEICHERS HEAR
ADDRESSES

Scale manufacturers are turning
out honest scales and the weights
and measures officials are making
honest men Of the merchants, A. g.
Sener. vice president Of the Sanitary
Scale Company, said today in an
address before the closing day ses-
sions of the twenty-secono annual
national conference OF weights AMI
measures officials. being held at the
Washington Hotel.
Mr.. Sener's address concerned the
practice of reconditioning of rejected
and "traded.in" scales. He found
that scales are traded in for three
reasons; one, the merchant wants a
more modern scale; second, his pres
ent scale is not functioning properly
and third. the scale has been con-
demned and must either be re-
paired or replaced.
Rebuilt Markings
Because of the expense Of recon.
ditioning traded-in scales. some
manufacturers do not atttm II
salvage any return from them.
Sener declared that 1t would be
fine were a law passed making IL
necessary that every rebuilt scale
bear some distinctive mark so that
a dealer could tell at a glance thai
it was purchased secondhand.
This would preclude the posi-
bility of unscrupulous statesmen
and secondhand dealers misrepre-
senting them to gullible merchants,
Sener said.
william Parry, of the Bureau of
Standards, spoke on the legal status
of rules and regulations as estab,
lished by decisions OF the courts.
He urged weights and measures Of
ficiais to carefully study the de-
cisions of courts for the better dis
charge of their duties.
Many Are Wrong
George NJ. Roberts, superintend.
ent OF Weights, Measures and
Markets. of the District of CO.
lumbia, read a paper on person
weighing scales. which are to be
found in drug-stores and other pub
lie places. Many of the scales are
inaccurate, Roberts said, and as
fast as they found they are either
confiscated or their use Is forbidden
until they have been repaired. He
deplored the lack of attention given
person-weighing scales and said that
thousands of dollars are taken from
persons who believe they are being
correctly weighed.
Officers elected at the session
were George K. Burgess, director
of the Bureau of Standards, re
elected to the office OF president
Francis Meredith, first vice presi
dent; Fl. S. Jarrett, second vice
president; F.. s. Holbrook, secretary
and George F. Austin, sr.H treas
