WEIGHT OF BREAD
I am Hot conversant with the Weights an<l Measures Act regarding the above subject, but I do know that in the Old Country the custom was that if a person buys a loaf of bread which is sold as 21b the loaf is weighed ■before the customer and if short of the necessary weight a piece of bread, a bun or a roll is put on with the loaf to make weight. I have weighed a good many loaves here and find some of them over 2oz short, the loaves which are called (I ain "plain loaves" being not less than loz short and the leave* known as "fancy loaves" not less than 2oz short. Could not the. unions tackle this important question instead of devoting much "of their efforts to "beer, glorioti* beer"'? Is there no inspector of weight- and measure- 1 tji Auckland t<> attend in such a vital question Jx>use.hokiers-? HONESTY.
