Weights and measures offered
for vale in stores shall bo in
spected and sealed before being
told.
All weights and measures in
the city aha)! be inspected at least
twice each year.
City sealer may require chang
ing scales Troni part of store
where they cannot be easily seen
by purchaser or where they miht
become inaccurate.
Sealer and his deputies made
special policemen with power to
make arrests and seizures.
Possession of bogus scales is
made prima facie evidence for
conviction for having false scales.
Dealers Jn ice, fuel and feed
must give certificate with each
delivery showing weight or meas
urement of commodity delivered.
Sand and gravel trucks and
wagons must have tag on outsido
showing cubic capacity.
Weights and measurers used by
peddlers and junk dealers must
be Inspected semi-annually before
license is issued by City Auditor.
It is made illegal to sell ice
without having scales large
enough to weigh it.
Revision of the city's weights and
measures inspection system to give the
city sealer and his deputies wider lati
tude in the inspection of weights and
measures, is proposed by City Commis
sioner Brewster In a new weights and
measures code presented yesterday to
the City Commission. The measures
went over for future consideration. If
passed. It will make a number of Im
portant changes in the general condi
tions as they exist under the present
weights and measures ordinance.
The code proviues ior the testing and
scaling of weights and measures before
they are sold. This is proposed to pre
vent the cheap type of small spring
ocales from getting onto the market.
The scaling of tho weights and meas
ures in this manneP has not been re
quired heretofore. -
Weight Reeord Repaired.
Probably the most important part of
the ordinance is that relating to the
sale of ice, fuel and feed. Under these
three terms are provided all classes of
4-ommodities such as coal, oils, wood,
fodder for horses and cattle and ice.
The man who makes the delivery is re
quired to write on a certificate his
name and address and the exact weight
or measurement of the commodity de
livered. This is principally for the
benefit of the city sealer, who often
-.w U ... An tHa H.livHa tr b.a that
the purchaser is not short-weighted. I
It is probable this feature of the ordi
nance will meet with opposition from
dealers.
The proponed code provides that all
scales shall be inspected at least twice
a year and as frequently as the city
staler may deem necessary in individual
cases. The storekeeper Is required,
under the measure, to keep his scales
in a place where they can be easily
read by purchasers. The Sealer may re
quire their removal to another part of
the store if their location is not con
sidered satisfactory or there is danger
of the scales becoming inaccurate by
reason of the location.
Large Authority Glvra to Sealer.
The city sealer and his deputies are
made special policemen with authority
to make arrests and seizures 9 of
weights and measures. It is made an
offense for a person to have a false
t-cale in his possession. Ice dealers
must at all times carry scales or their
wagons large enough to weigh any
jiieces of ice they may deliver.
An important provision is that which
requires all peddlers, agents and. Junk
dealers to take their scales to the
City Hall twice a year for testing.
This must be done before the City
Auditor will be permitted to issue
their semi-annual licenses.
Sand and gravel wagons and trucks
will be required, if the proposed, ordi
nance is parsed, to have a sign op
the side showing the exact cubic con
tents of the wauon box. This is for
the protection of purchasers of these
commodities.

deputies since their seizure in a raid
on Sunday. t

in fights with steel spurs have been

The deputies nearly had more trouble
with the cocks when they started mov

Alleging that $73,000 in excess of the
final estimate of State Highway En
gineer Bowlby was cue mem for work
on the Columbia Highway in Clatsop
County, Peterson & Johnson, tne con
tractors, today filed a report of three
engineers with the State Highway Com
mission in substantiation of their con
tention. They suggested that the
commission and contractors each
appoint an engineer -and these select
a third to arbitrate the question.
. The engineers employed by the con
tractors were J. C. Baar and T. A.
Rice, of Portland, and H. F. Wickner.
of Seattle. The contractors ask that
the cost of making the investigation,
$2158, be paid by the county.
It is charged that Major Bowlby in
estimating the yardage ' placed it at
16,122 cubic yards less than it actually
was. It is further alleged that the
highway engineer was on 'the stretch
of road of 28 miles during the con
struction but once and then he only
inspected a bridge near Bugby. The
highway engineer's report was made
November 30, 1!J4, and when informed
by the contractors that measurements
were incorrect he declined to make a
further investigation. .About three
months' time w-as required by the en
gineers employed by the contractors
to make the measurements and com
pute the work. Following is an excerpt
from the report of the engineers to
the contractors:
"In the matter of classification your
attention is called to places where the
highway engineer , classified one cut
as 60 per cent soft rock and the next
cut, in spite of the fact that the nature
of the material is absolutely identical,
was classified as all common material
and hard pan. Only .8 per cent of the
resident engineers kept classification
notes and how the classifications on
the other two residences was obtained
is hard to tell. It is, however, a sig
nificant fact that on section four alone
you were compelled to move about
33,000 cubic yards more material than
the original estimate of quantities pro
'vided, still the total amount received
by you in compensation for your work
on this section is approximately $1000
less than what was estimated for this
section without considering these ex
tra 35,000 cubic yards."
The Commission decided to defer
action pending the appointment of a
successor to Major Bowlby. who will
be instructed to make an investigation.
However, the contractors were in
formed that they would have to look
to the county for the money which
they say is due them, and that the
state was not liable. It Is intimated
that the report of the engineers would
be used as the basis of a suit in case
a settlement is not reached.
Thestatement addressed to the State
Highway Commission by Peterson and
Johnson was as follows:
The Tjnderslgned respectfully submit that
-e have done a larire amount of road wore
on the Columbia Highway from Westport to
Astoria, in Clauop County, under the di
