FREIGHT WEIGHING Ordered on the New Haven Road for the Future. 1 incoming and outgo- ing freight handled via the New Ha- system in Willimantic will be 1. This is to conform with B notice sent to the New York, New Hlaven & Hartford freight house in this city, which stipulates that all ncoming and outgoing freight must be weighed. TUp to this time the freight has been carried on estimated weight but hereafter it will have to be actual weight. Recent investiga- tions have disciosed that many ship- pers have been in the habit of great- Iy underestimating the weight of their reight, which to them amounted to a considerable saving. Freight was weighed for a time here, and it was found to vary greatly from the esti- weight. All must be O.K. in the future. | Democrats Contributed More Than Re- publicans.
