Market Squeeze

Short Weight Alleged

To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuma Dany News"

Sm—I wish to draw the attention of the Inspector of Weights and Measures to the squeeze in short weights in the Seymour Road market, On several occasions I have had as much as % Ib, short weight on vegetables and meat, when weighed, on proper scales when reaching home. Is it possible to have an official scale placed with an officer in charge to check any weights in dispute, and it found short-weighted, to have the stall keepers licences endorsed? In these hard times some -protection should be given to purchases of food-
