Representative Fowler Says
Some Computing Ma
chines Are Liars.
Representative Ben Fowler, of Bibb, will
draft nnd Introduce a bill for the Inspection
of weights, scales and computing inachtues,
modeled nfter the Massachusetts law and
conceded to be the best k\w along that line
of any atate In the Union.
This new law will lx» aimed especially at
computing scales. Scales are manufactured
now to give the weights and at the same
time compute the net price on the article
sold. In many Instances these scales are
said to be hottest as to weight, but the com
putations give the buyer the worst of It.
Laws as they stand reach the question of
accuracy of weights, hut not that of the
computation of the amount. The statement
is made that fully 60.000 of these dlshouest
computing scales are In operation over tlif
country, and that the annual loss to con
Burners from false computations will reach
far Into the millions of dollars.
The Massachusetts law provides for In
spection of this class of scales not only ns
to correctness of weights hut also as to
computations. Representative Fowler has
secured a copy of that law nnd Is now pre
paring a hill along the same line.
Georgia has laws providing for the Inspec
tion of weights nnu measures, hut the nec
essary machinery for its enforcement Is
luck lug. In other words, no provision (s
made for regular Inspectors, nnd what Is
everybody's duty becomes nobody's duty.
This spring Secretary of State Phil Coc
attended a conference of state officials In
Washington relative to uulfonutty of
weights and measures in the several states.
“ present conditions there Is cousldern-
law of this kind.
