WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. SlB, —I see’ Mr Inspector of Weights and Measures, 40., is on bis rounds again; • Will he kindly study the real interest of the public who pay him, and watch the bakers. There’s where the adulteration and robbery is carried on.- ,Wtat with alum, short weight, and badly baked bread we and our children are made to suffer both in health and pockat. Publicans watering their grog is nothing in its evil to the baker adulterating his bread. Spirits, as a rale, are drunk by adnlts, who are supposed to have reasoning powers. If they do not get what they like they need not again call at that house. But the child has to eat* what is given to it, and.if the parent cannot buy pure broad they have to put that in their stomachs which very dfteh necessitates the dootor being ’called into the house. ,As I said before, if the Inspector wishes-to do good let him watch the bakers; The general public will not then grudge him his salary, as they will feel it is well earned, viz., by ensuring the good quality and quantity of the bread supplied to their homes.—l am, ftp., j A .Father and Ratepayer. ; Wellington, 21'st September, 1882.
