Sealer Weights and Measures
INSPECTION WORK.
Inspection work consists of examining scales, weights and measures to see if they are sealed according to law, and to adjust the same if they do not compare with the standards. I have given much time to this line of work and have always found the merchant willing to co-operate, as it is of great benefit to him to know that his scales are correct and true weight is being given. Included in this report is the number of inspections made in this line.
REWEIGHING OF PACKAGES.
During the year I have reweighed 210 packages in stores, that were ready for delivery, and the conditions found show that the majority of the dealers are trying to comply with the law. In a few cases, however, I found the merchant put the blame on unreli- able help; for instance, in regard to potatoes, where young boys are engaged in the work of bagging. I have called attention to this fact and quoted the law vested in Chapter 394, Sec. 1, which reads
"Whoever, himself or by his servant or agent or as the servant or agent of another person, gives or attempts to give false or insufficient weight or measure shall for a first offence be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars," .
In quoting these facts I do not wish to convey the impression that all merchants are in this class, but a few are and I look for better results as conditions have shown marked improvement.
REWEIGHING OF COAL.
The results of reweighing 24 loads of coal in transit were found satisfactory as the following figures will show:
9 showed an average overweight of 36 1/8 lbs.
2 showed an average underweight of 321/2 lbs.
13 correct.
The overweight was due mostly to taking the tare of teams, while in one instance where there was underweight of 50 lbs. it was due to the driver leaving his shute partly open, thereby losing coal while it was in transit. In both cases it was evident that the weigher had no intention of giving overweight or underweight.
In the performance of the duty of a Sealer, by virtue of Chapter 62, Sec. 89 of the Revised Laws, I have at all times found the dealers, and drivers of teams very courteous and obliging when called upon to reweigh their load.
140
COAL IN BAGS LESS THAN 100 LBS. I have reweighed and inspected 84 bags of coal and almost invariably found them correct as to weight. In previous years some merchants did their own bagging, thereby violating a law in not having their names and the weight of the coal marked on each bag in Roman capital letters at least one inch in height. This practice has been stopped and coal now in bags comes from dealers engaged in the sale of bag coal only.
SALE OF ICE.
During the summer months, and especially very hot weather, I made 49 inspections of weights used by ice men, and reweighed 57 weights given by them. In the former case it was necessary to condemn 8 scales, and in the latter to prosecute two drivers for giving short weights on two counts each. In this line of work the Sealers must be given permission by the occupant of the house, store or shop to enter as soon as ice has been left and weigh tlie same. In performing this work I have been received very cordially and have never been refused admission or the request to reweigh ice left, sometimes inconveniencing the householder who often had articles of a perishable nature packed away with the goods desired, which meant the removal of the same before ice could be re- weighed. It is my intention to follow up this line of work the com- ing year very closely as I believe there is muchi profit in the sale of ice to the purchasing public.
HAWKERS AND PEDLARS.
Chapter 246, Acts of 1912, requiring all fruits, vegetables and nuts for which a legal weight has been established, to be sold by weight or numerical count instead of by dry measure, has also In- creased the work of this department, owing to the nature of the scales used in the sale of commodities by these dealers. The scale generally used is of the spring variety, subject to climatic condi- tions, thereby getting out of order very easily. This type of scale should be inspected frequently and 109 such inspections have been made. A number of these scales were adjusted while others were condemned for further use. Trouble arises generally with out-of- town pedlars as these men have no regard for the law as regards scales on teams, and in every case where measures are used short weight is given. It was necessary to prosecute three of these pedlars in court and a conviction was obtained in each case, result- ing in fines amounting to $35. The local pedlars, I believe, are trying to live up to the letter of the law and I hope they will continue to do so. Included in this report are receipts and ex- penditures of the Department for the past year, also various tables of work done. I wish to thank all with whom I have come in con- tact during the past year and trust future relations will be as pleasant.
