MR VAUTIERS' WEIGHBRIDGE.
biR-i-l noticed in this morning's issue a letter.signed M LjbrV' 'referring feo thepublic weigh'britiges,-'and-< leaking; remarks at the -Municipal'Ooun'cil fixing the weighbridge .near Mi- Charles Palmer's, in ' Hersliell-street. 'The reasdn for the Council -doing so was to save the expenses of a paid officer attending to the weighbridge; Mr Palmer having consented to attend to it merely for the fees allowed by the Corporation — one shilling for unregistered' carts, and sixpence for registered carts. ' With regard to MrVautier's weighbridge at the Spit, the charges for weighing are the same as above stated. Should tho Corporation erect a weighbridge it will be the same as when the late Provincial Government had the one now' belonging to Mr Vautier. The • returns . fpr one year were some three pounds.- ,1 should like to see " Libra" go further and agitate every store in the place; to have its. goods weighed on a public weighing machine, which would apply to the same as Mr Vautier weighing his coals and other people's goods on his own weighbridge. — 1 am, &c, Veritas. Napier, Oct. 20, 1879.
