Norwich, road, is now engaged at work in the| will v St. James’ Lodge Oct 17, When There Will Be Work, There was a regular communication IREASON FOR HIG Sanatorium. John' R. Kemerer, Hartford's sealer of weights and measures, gave a gra- phic and instructive talk Tuesday night at the Buckingham Memorial hefore the Norwich Business Men's as- sociation upon the general topic of weights and measvres, illustrating his Wwords. with a tableful of fraudulent scales and measures {rom his “curios- ity shop” in Hartford, which had been seized during his term of office there. Frank Copp, who is the sealer in New { London, was present, and also spoke | of experiences in detecting false meas- ures in that city. Advantages of Norwich. President Charles I Smith opened the meeting, which had an attendance of about thirty men, and Mr. Smith | spoke at the beginning of a meeting of the committee which is working on the securing of a tuberculosis com- | mission for this county. He said that |a number of sites had been offered free and there were others for sale, and that the natural advantages of Norwich were such as to argue strong- ly in favor of locating the sanatorium in this neighborhood, and he thought that with proper interest on the part of the citizens, it would be located here. He mentioned that thé expensés of a patient would be $10 per week at the sanatorium, of which the family would pay $6 and the town would pay the balance if it were necessary, Norwich Merchants Right. ‘When he/introduced Mr. Kemerer, the latter opened his address by re- ferring with approval to the attempt on the part of the Norwich men for the licensing of peddlers and vendors. This was a step in the right direction, be said, but he had been defeated three times in his attempt to bring it about in_Hartford. Mr. Kemerer said the subject of short weights touched the pocketbooks of rich and poor alike, but especially upon the poor who buy in small quan- tities, as for instance, buying butter in quarter-pound lots, here the weight of the butter tray, entering in- to the sale four times, takes possibly two ounces from the amount of butter the customer receives. He showed a sample of a quart milk bottle, 1 1-2 ounces short, and showed that this saved for the dealer 16 centsdaily in the sale of 50 quarts of milk, or the sum of $58.40 vearly. Criticised Milk Bottle. He criticised the milk bottle as the most_unsanitary way of buying milk, and the biggest disease breeder, as there were too many chances for its s0ing into contact with contagious dis- eases and there were t00o many chances of its not being properly washed even with all the best of washing appl ances. He sald the old-fashioned way of putting out the milk pail was the best and the Hartford dealers would gladly go back to that, but that the people keep them up o the bottles, Discussed Before Business Men’s Association by Hartford Sealer—President Smith Speaks on Tuberculosis because the people are too lazy to get up early in the morning and put the milk pail out for the milkman. . Urged Buying in Bulk. Taking up print butter, Mr. Kamerer read a long list from the 1908 dairy commissioner's report, showing that, few prints gave the regulation 16 ounces to a pound. In the sale of 200 pounds of butter per day, a shortage of an ounce in the pound would amount in a year to the dealer to a saving of $1,126.80, with butter at 30 cents & pound. In over 300 samples of print butter the average was about 14 3-4 ounces. On buying coal Mr. Kamerer figured it out that the poor people had to pay about $15 or $18 per ton through buv- ing in small lots, and he scored the failure to pass a bill before the Con- necticut legislature requiring that the net weight of every loaf of bread be marked upon it. He said that Massa- chusetts had a 32 ounce loaf, but in Connecticut it was from 26 to 22 cunces. The Connecticut law was kill- ed by the New Haven bakers and the lobby after it had passed both houses. How Norwich Does. C. H. Haskell replied to Mr. Kam- orer’s criticism of coal dealers by stat- ing that it was the Norwich practice to sell an 18 pound bag of coal for 10 cents, which came to about $9 a ton for the dealer, for coal which cost him $6.10, and the screenings and transit loss ‘would about make up the differ- ence between the long and the short ton, Mr. Kamerer told of proper meth- ods of testing coal scales with a ton weight at the four corners and in the center and then in a wagon. He said that he thought it would be found gen- erally in Norwich that there werd more scales of all kinds that were against the dealers rather than the consumers. He showed by examples of crackers and breakfast food bought in Norwich the difference between buying in bulk and buying in paper packages, in the latter of which, he said, the customer pays for a lot of fancy wrapping. Right here, he said, was one of the reasons for the high cost of living. ) In reply to a question about com- puting scales, he said that he was the determined enemy of the comnuting scale, but the law gives the sealer no right' to interfere with the computing part. Need of Each City. He said that all cities have got to come to a sealer of weights and meas- ures and that he ought to be on the salary, not the fee, system and be on the job all the time. If it cost even $500 or $1.000 it would be a good in- \estment for the city and would bene- fit no one so much as the honest dealers. He was applauded and given a vote of thanks at the close of his talk. NO SCHOOL BECAUSE OF YOM KIPPUR. West Chelsea District Had a Visiting Day for the Teachers—Elections De- layed a Day. On the West Side, the West Chelsea school district had mo school Monday becatse it was Yom Kippur, one of the holiest of Jewish holidays. As was done last vear, there was no school, the teachers being given a visiting day and the pupils a holiday. The Jewish children, numbering many in that district, would not have attended and there would have been many ab- sentees had the school been kept There were but few of the Jewish voters who went to the polls on Mo; day to vote, their vote being practi- cally nothing here. They had desired that the election be postponed until Tuesday, as was done in New Haven and Waterbury, where a special act of the legislature ‘was secured to permit the change. The republicans asked for it in the former and the democrats in the latter city. POOL AND WHIST AT SODALITY ROOMS Tournaments Have Been Opened with Long List of Entries.
