City Doe Not Protect Comninrr.
Thla startling condition of affalra In
Seattle la easily eiplalne.l. and la e
plainej In Inspector Holbrook'. report.
In traramlttlns his conclusions, baaed
on personal Inspections made In all
parts of Seattle. Mr. Holbrook aya:
"Seattle baa no ordlnancea upon tba
subject of weiirhta and measure, no
atamlarda of wclrht or measure with
which the apraratu. In commercial use
r-.Uht be co:r.pared. and no officials to
protect the honest merrhant and con-airr.ir-
public from the use of faulty
apparatus and the perpetration of fraud
In transaction.
"The Inspections made throughout
the city show most clearly tha result
of neglect. Very bad conditions pre
vail In nearly every part of the city
rlslfed. and the use of Incorrect and
faulty apparatus deslaned to deliver leas
than the Quantity represented, and the
!lvery of such Inaccurate quantities
becomes here tha general rule rather
than the exception. The consumers of
the city are belner mulcted out of Tery
larre sums of money each year, and
competition la n longer on a fair and
honest basis as a result of tha neglect
of the city to provide proper protec
tion to tne Inhabitants In this Im
portant matter.
eV-ale of Two-Tlilrd Welsh Short.
"Only 21 per cent of tha acalea can
be Hated aa correct, the usual toler
ance of 1 per rent belnsr allowed. Of
those a per rent were in favor of tha
user. whl only 14 per cent Rave over
weight. Moreover very large errors
are much more frequent than Is usually
the case. 2 2 per cent of those) specific
ally Hated having a greater error than
11 per cent, these errors ranting ail
the way from 12 to 13 per cent.
"In one store tha two scales most
commonly cse,i were 9 per cent and IT
?er cent fast: In another place of busi
ness ea-h B-a'e wa. a per cent fast: in
still another the scales were per cent
and 11 per cent fast; In atlM another
the errors on the only two scales found
were per rent and 11 per rent fast:

In several Instances the proprietors en
deavored to adjust the balan.-e of scales
before they could be reai-hcd by tha In-apet-t'r.
thue aivtnr notice that the error
was Intentional and known to the mer
rhant. It should he understood that a
ery tare majority of the scales found
to be dellerlna: short wlsht were scales
of expensive patterns, and that the In
dicators were so set that no one cslnz
trie s-ale could for an instant consider
that It waa correct.

'S.r.ce t.ere are a large number of
prints of mary d.fferent branda weighed
and stnee these were weighed In all parte
of t.-. city this average Is believed to be
a very accurate oca. la a cl'.y of thai
ease where the quantity of butter used
la enormous; a shortage of this kind
will amount to many thousands of dollara'
loss to the people of the city. And tlila
la actual lease since the prices) of butter
seem to be standard and there Is no re
duction of price on account of the short

of the shortage found In Spokane. In
the latter city a aealer of weights and
meaauree haa been enforcing an ordi
nance rrovaslon and notifying the cream
eries that full weight must be delivered.
And wa believe that some aueh official
must be appointed thua to eafeguard tiie
Interests of tfca purchasing public before
improvement will be ohticn.-d in Se
attle and this very large loss abated.
MUk Rottlca Too Small.
"A teat of milk bottles In use shows
that shortages on tt.le) class of apparaf as
are very common- Tha majority of tha
quart bottles are of full eapadty. but the
pint bottles which are mucn more com
monly uaed ehow considerable discrep
ancies. Only 44 per oent of those tested
are correct and every one of the Incor
rect bottlea hoIJa less than tho repre
sent amount; this error amounting In
sonio cata to 4-1 per c r.t. On half-pint
bottlea errorw In lca-!ency of T per cent
eometlmee occur. Since the shortage
are usually confined to certain firms it
can be readily seen that a large Illegal
profit from short meaeure la being reaped
by thee firms; and that ttelr customers
are suffering accordingly.
-In relation to the weight and measure
of coal and wood delivered to the peo
ple of tho city, we believe the losses
must ba very Isrgs ones, although they
could not be checked by your Inspector.
A city official, who has been making an
Investigation of this matter, sxate. that

The delegates worked on a plan to

Throughout the city there wa. a storm
