REPORT OF THE SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Honorable Board of Selectmen, Braintree, Mass.
Gentlemen: In compliance with your request, I submit the following report of the Department of Seal- er of Weights and Measures, for the year ending December 31, 1927.
I have tried most earnestly during the year just passed to perform the duties of the office in an impar- tial and fair manner, and therefore be just to all parties concerned. I have found our merchants most courte- ous and willing to comply with the laws in relation to the sealing of weights and measures and inspections.
In relation to Chapter 95 Acts of 1927, to sealing Tank Trucks, it is absolutely necessary to purchase said equipment for the same as there are several tanks in the Town of Braintree. I recommend the purchase of same.
