BREAD.
. SO THB EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sib,—To my mind the master bakers tof Christchurch and suburbs are taking upon themselves responsibilities which they can never uphold. I would like to ask them a question. Can they guarantee every loaf of bread they make to be full weight, as the Act distinctly says "All bread to be full weight." They have been asked by the master bakers of Auckland to assist them to get the Act repealed, as it is unworkable. There is not one of us in Christchurch'but who is liable to be had any day, it does not matter how honest he may be, and I think any practical tradesman knows what I state to be correct. Now, there are a great number of people who will nave crusty, aye, and even over-baked bread, and who do not take into consideration an ounce or two being short providing they get it to their satisfaction. It would be interfering -with the liberties of the public for us to say that we could not make bread according to their wishes. Kindly insert this in your valuable paper; by doing so you will be doing mc a particular favour.—Yours, &c, DotroH. May 31st, 1892.
