SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
December 31, 1933.
The Board of Selectmen, Middleboro, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The report of the Weights and Measures Department for the year 1933 is as follows :-
State Standards. The State Standards are owned by the State and loaned to the town and comes under the direct supervision of the Town Treasurer and he is directly re- sponsible for any loss or replacement. They have been in use now for about eleven years. They are very carefully watched and taken care of so as to keep them in the best pos- sible condition. They are inspected by the State Inspector several times yearly. They consist of a Balance, Standard Dry and Liquid Measure, also Standard Metric, Apothecary and Adv. Weights.
Field Equipment. The Working field equipment is owned entirely by the town. It is repaired or replaced as necessity requires or upon order from the Division of Standards. The Apothecary, Metric and Troy weights are in excellent con- dition. The Adv. weights are sadly in need of renickling as mentioned in my 1932 report. This should be done at once to save replacement. They are of old style and if condemned by the State Department it would mean a whole new set of up-to-date weights and the town can ill afford to go to such a great expense now. The 50 lb. Adv. weights have all been recalibrated and painted, putting them in A-1 condition. All other weights owned by the town are in very good condition.
Gasoline Cans and Measures. A battery of test cans from one gallon to five inclusive, are owned by the town, and
102
with the exception of new gauge glasses they are in excellent condition, and should be good for a long time to come. A five gallon bucket measure owned by the State is also in good condition. A set of measures from 1 gill to one gallon inclusive, are also owned by the town and are in good condi- tion.
Weights and Measures in town.
Gasoline Pumps. The number of gasoline pumps in town are diminishing, caused by the better way of measuring gasoline by metering it. They are a source of continued annoyance as they constantly need attention if the motorist is to get his measure.
Gasoline Meters. Gasoline meter systems are fast taking the place of the old hand Gas Pumps and are, I believe, the most satisfactory way to deliver gasoline to the motorist. Yet they need constant watching if the motoring public are to receive their just measure. The Viz Gauge and dial are put on each and every gasoline pump or meter, that the motorist may see just what he is getting and it behooves each car driver to watch carefully the Viz Gauge and dial at the time of each purchase of Gasoline.
Butter. Butter has caused very little trouble this year. But as most of our butter comes to us packed and sent to us from other towns and states, the Sealer is required to make frequent reweighing to determine if the weight is up to standard.
Potatoes. Potatoes that come to our merchants put up in paper and burlap sacks and bags are a constant source of trouble, both to the merchant and the Sealer. Store keepers should not offer them for sale until they have been reweighed and found to contain weight marked on the bag.
Flour. Flour has been reweighed a number of times during the year and it has been found to run very uniform in weight. As this flour is all weighed on Automatic mach- ines, constant checking and reweighing on these machines is necessary.
103
Wood. A number of complaints on wood have been investigated and settled to the satisfaction of each party. The dealers of wood in our town are trying their best to do everything required by law, pertaining to the sale of wood.
Bread. Bread being the "Staff of Life" is watched very carefully as to weight and it has been found to run very even during the last year. Each and every baker coming into town to peddle, have co-operated in every way.
