Although thig fact has proven of un- usual interest to many, another por- where this article of food is on sale in pound prints, and examine the pack- age to ascertain whether the weight amining the stock is concerne The creation of this new it} will be remembered, was the outcome of the reform movement in which it was asseried that the present d high cost of living is due in a meas- ure to the fact that the people have »een receiving less in their purchases of package goods than was represent- ed to them and it is with a view to curtailing tils alleged fraud, that the office of county sealer of weights and measures was instituted. Many persons have expressed the ( opinion of the city and town sealers of weights znd measures cover the fleld sufficiently satisfactery, and the newly created office Is an unnecessary expense. The persons who advocate the new office say that this will bring { revenue to the state from towns who have no sealer of weights and meas- ures and who would be reached only through the new official.
