INSPECTION OF SCALES.
(To tne Editor.) Sir. —I am convinced it 15 nigh time tiiat the inspector of weights and measures made a thorough inspection of the scale? used by the various business people in this city. Almost every shop which I enter, be it cake hop. meat shop, pork butchers or what not, 1 rind the scales standing at the ounce, ounce and a-haif and sometimes even two ounces, all to the good of the shopkeeper; and tine surely means that every time one pays for a pound of cake or other goods, one is in reality receiving only fourteen or | fifteen, instead of sixteen ounces. No wonder that many of us remain poor.— T am. etc., HAKD-UP.
