EISEMAN & WEIL, 1 WHITEHALL ST. WORKED AT WELL THROUGHOUT NIGHT TO MAKE SCALES TELL JE TOOTH 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.
