Russeil, fuel administrator, Charles W. dep- uty administrator, ang Thomas ¥. Fa- gah, deputy superintendent of state po- Jice in charge of the department of weights and measures, announced Was diately t6 bring criminal action against coal dealers in certain localities against whom complaints have already been made. Foilowing 'the conference Mr. said an investigation would be started immediately in every locality of the state with the co-operation of local seal- ers of weights and measures when- ever possible whereby the poor would be protected against fraud. “I believe’ said Mr. Russell, ‘that those Who because of their financial con- dition _are forced to buy coal in small quantities are those who have suffer- cd the most as a result of the present embarrassing fuel situation, and I in- tend that the poor shall be protected, no matter at what expenditure of time, and will ask for the lmit in the way of fines for fraudulent coal dealers. Mr. Russell called attention to_the provisions of Chapter 248 of the Pub- lic Acts of 1911 whereby it is required that the weight be stamped on all bags of coal sold in small lots, and that a weight slip issued by the sealer be de- livered to the purchaser at the time or the delivery. This law is as follows: All coal sold, except in accordance |with a written agreement with the purchaser otherwise, or offered for sale. In this state, shall be 5o sold or offered for sale by weight. No person, firm or corporation shall deliver any coal unless such delivery is accompanied by a de- livery ticket and a duplicate thereof, on which shall be distinctly expressed, in ink or other indelible substance, ~ in pounds, the weight of the coal contar- ed in such vehicle or receptacle, togeth- er with the name of the seiler and the name of the purchaser of such coal. One of such tickets shall be surrendered, up- on dggnand, to the sealer of weights and measures, for his inspection, and such ticket or, when the sealer desires to- re- tain the original ticket, a welight slip issued by the seller, shall be delivered to the purchaser, or his agent or repre- sentative at the time of the delivery of such coal, and the other tieket shall be retained by the Seller. If the purchaser, or his agent, takes such cosl® from the place of purchase. a- delivery ticket, ishowing the .actual number of pounds delivered, shall. bé given to the purchas- er, or his agent at the time o delivery. Any person who shall violate any provi- |sion of this act shall be fined not more than two hundred- doliars, 'or - fmpris- oned riot more than six monthe, or both.
