LIGHT BREAD.
a TO TOE EDITOR OP THE WEST COAST TIMES. Sic, — Your correspondent's letter in reference to the grfertt deficiency in the weight of bread in Hokitika induced me to test that supplied to me by my baker ; I weighed four small, or two pound loaves of batch bread, when to my astonishment I found a deficit of one pound in eight — the four loave,which should have weighed eight pounds, weighing only seven. My consumption of bread is nearly one hundred large loaves a week/ so" that I am defrauded to the extent of about JJ3O ayear. I quite agree with your corresponded that it is high time the Municipal Council should take action in the matter, and the sooner something is done to protect the public from such" an infamous imposition the better. I enclose my card, aud remain, Sir, Yours, &c, Faie Play.
