During the past year I have reweighed all the coal dealers and regret I was compelled to prosecute one for short weight, for which a fine of Fifty ($50) Dollars was paid. I believe this work should be continued more forcibly in the future than in the past.
Attleboro is one of the few cities in the Commonwealth not having a city scale, and I would recommend that a committee be ap- pointed to report the cost and location of a heavy duty truck scale.
The salary of Sealer is inadequate considering the amount of ser- vice demanded by the State Department.
Respectfully submitted,
HUGH GAFFNEY,
Sealer of Weights and measures.
INSPECTOR OF KEROSENE OIL
December 19, 1916.
To His Honor the Mayor and Municipal Council,
of the City of Attleboro, Mass.
Gentlemen :-
I herewith report as Inspector of Kerosene Oil, that I have taken samples from fifty-four (54) stores at different seasons of the year and tested each one separately by the Tagliabue System to the re- quired temperature.
Inspection fees $75.00.
Respectfully submitted, HUGH GAFFNEY,
Inspector of Kerosene Oil.

As I have previously recommended, I again urge that the Attle- boro Steam & Electric Co., be required to ground their system in ac- cordance with the rules of the New England Insurance Exchange.
There has been an increase in the volume of work of this depart- ment and contractors in general have shown a willingness to conform to the rules of this office.
Respectfully submitted,
B. C. WETHERELL. Inspector of Wires.
