Dishonest Eastern Farmers Cinched.
Trade Journah Three thous
and five hundred “ bushel” bas
kets were burned recently by
the commissioner of weights and
measures at Wallabout, Market
Square, in Brooklyn. Of that
number 1,172 were seized by the
city, from Long Island farmers
and speculators, for failure to con
tain a full bushel; the baskets were
tested at the time of the raid with
white beans, and a large number
fell as many as ten quarts short of
requirements.
It was said by many who
watched the blaze that the farmers
were only waiting for the city to
destroy their property in order to
start a suit for recovery of the
money they have lost. The com
missioner said his department was
fully1 protected by law and backed
by the Myyor in the matter. He
had given' the farmers ample
warning.
