The above detailed account of re-weighings and pack- age goods inspections proves the value of diligent search along these lines. A re-check of several of the sealed de- vices have been made to insure their accuracy.
Seven prosecutions were necessary during this year,

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
and in several cases restitution was made satisfactorily to all involved. All seven defendants were found guilty and ninety-five dollars was paid in fines and in three cases, placed on file.
Re-weighing of Coal in transit has been very care- fully followed up in addition to deliveries made to the Arl- ington School Department, all were found to be correct.
One thousand two hundred seventy-six weights and measures were inspected and sealed, three hundred twenty- two adjusted, three not sealed, and twenty-nine condemned. Sealing fees amounting to two hundred sixty-seven dollars and eighty-one cents ($267.81) were received and paid over to the Town Treasurer. The Town Treasurer also received ($275.00) for Hawker and Peddler licenses.
Respectfully submitted, ALLAN E. COWIE,
