GOODS IN PACKAGES.
Net Weight Must be Marked. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, May 21. In future all goods sold in packages, including sugar flour, rice, etc., made up for sale during rush periods, will have to conform to the provisions of the Weights and Measure Act in reference to the marking of the net weight on goods sold retail in a package. This was the effect of an announcement by the Minister of Labour (the Hon Adam Hamilton) to-day. The Minister said that a number of cases had been discovered recently of abuse of the privilege whereby it was not necessary for the weight to be marked. The new arrangement would not apply to certain goods specially exempt by the regulation.
