One Dealer Is Fined and Curb
Markets May Be Established
SHORT MEASURES SEIZED
Tending notion by the federal authori
ties, suburbanites in Doylcstovvn wo ad
vocating establishment of. n curb mar
ket, alleging thnt profiteering Is a habit
with sbmc dealers in that district.
Investigation of prices generally in
York road suburbs indicates a too-wide
margin of profits, they say, particularly
In farm products. In Jcnklntown, efforts
to obtain reasonable treatment of pa
trons have resulted in arrest and fining
of one produce dealer, 'with confiscation
of alleged short-measure baskets from
two dealers.
Instances of profiteering In Doylcs
tovvn arc said to include the purchase
of cucumbers by one dealer from a child
the cucumbers being part of the gni -den
product raised by the family nt
one cent each and immediate rcplnce
ment of the table dainty on the counters
At five cents each.
Corn in the stores in tho larger York
road suburbs sells at from fifty to
seventy-fivo cents per dozen, with thou
sands of dozens of cars grown within
two miles of tho market stands.
Inspector Hower, of the Department
' of Weights and Measures for Mont
gomery county, bought what ho sup
posed was a peck of potatoes from one
Jenkintown store. Weighed, the "peck"
showed just twelve pounds 20 per cent
short weight. The dealer was fined
510 and costs by Magistrate Clifford.
Thirty-eight baskets were confiscated
by Hower at this store; thirty at nu
othcr store.
