Rulings on Weights and Measures Act Asked ; James F. Woodward, Secretary of Internal Affairs, at the suggestion ■ I of James Sweeney, chief or the Bu "reau of Standards of the department, , to-day asked Attorney General Wil ' Ham I. Schaffer for opinions on the i State's weights and measures laws— [ one asking whether It is legal to sell ■ j commodities, the weight per bushej [ of which is fixed by law, in any oth er way except by weight or measure, and tiie other inquiring as to whether sealers of weights and measures have authortly to test the scales used by i laundries and wasbeiieg. < Although the State, by law, has fixed the number of pounds in a bjs el or multiple of a bushel of potatoes, certain fruits and numerous other commodities, thousands of dealers in the State are selling by the basket or box and the purchaser is without knowledge as to just what quantity is being purchased and likewise the practice makes it impossible for seal ers to keep a check on sales and as certain whether purchasers are get ting all they should for their money. Secretary Woodward and Chief Sweeney are desirous of knowing whether this practice is permissible • under the present laws of the State.
