WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —In your issue of Saturday I see a correspondent, signing himself a “ Father of a. Family,” calling the attention of the Inspector of Weights and . Measures to the bad condition of the weights, as also the impure material of the bread as sold by the bakers of this city. In reply, I beg to inform him that I have nothing, to do with, the; materials of what a loaf is made. ;My duty is simply to see if the . weights are up to the > standard, and I beg to assure , the “Father of a Family ” that I have no reason to find fault with the weights as used by the several bakers of the city. I most respectfully thank the writer for giving me the opportunity of publicly acknowledging the prompt facility afforded me, by store and shopkeepers', of examining their weights whenever I call upon them.—l am, &c, J. H. Marriott, Inspector of Weights and Measures. Wellington, September 23, 1882.1
