Hnwloy, of Polk, is prepar ing to Introduce a measure before the legislature which will aim to morgo tho department of weights and measures with that of the food commissioner. It is snld thut this merger will eliminate a great deal of work that is practically duplicat ed undor the present order of af fairs, and at tho same time effect a matorlnl saving to tho stnte In the way of salaries and expensos.
