4 FIGHT OMNST SHOOT-WEIGHT ICE AND GONE City Inspector Buchanan Hot After Drivers Who Retail Stolen Remnants. When you buy a ton of coal, how much you get ? How many 50-pnund piece* are in a Son.pound block of ice'.’ Thequestion? are giving Atlanta consumers more h ain fag than Hou old is Ann"” ever did. \V T. Buchanan, citv inspector of weights and measures, is trying io make the answer easier to find by putting wagon drivers in the stockade at the rate of two or three a week "I've sent at b ast 100 into the chain gang for stealing from wagon*, and I’ve got my eye on more,” said Mr. Buchanan today Driver Retails On Side It isn't the fault of the coal dealer that th? ton of coal you order and pay for is short 100 pounds when it lands in your cellar If you had watched It unloaded Instead of merely signing the delivery slip, you might have noticed that the driver left a couple of bushels In the wagon, hidden away up under the seat with a basket and an old bag or two thrown over it. That s the driver's rake-off. He drives down Into » negro settlement or some other place where he has a steady customer wait ing and sells that remnant of coal for about half what it's worth. He puts the money in his pocket. You lose coal, the company loses Its reputation for fair dealing and it’s bad business ?11 round The Ice trade is almost as bad An lee company starts out a wagon with a full ton of fee. in 300-pound blocks An expert cutter can saw one of these blocks into seven "50-pound" slabs and the customer couldn't possibly’ detect the shortage with the naked eye When the driver has sold a ton for the com pany and collected coin and tickets to be turned into the cashier he has some thing over 300 pounds to peddle on his Own account, and the crooked drivers know plenty of customers willing to pay half price for stolen ice. Insist On Seeing It Weighed. The only way to be sure of getting your full weight from the ice wagon is to insist on seeing it weighed. That takes trouble, but it is worth it. I.sst summer so manv customers began to betray susi idon of the theft that the drtve-s got sore and refused to deliver any more ice to persons who insisted on the scales being used Inspector Buchanan received complaints that several families were being boycotted, and some of those drivers went out to th’- sto. kide fm a sojourn There has been little trouble of that kind this vear. Th< !<•• companies are anxious to hate tlici customers receive full weight in ; would bo glad If all cusio m r< wou'd .i. - st on seeing the scales. Inspector Buchanan is a regular Sherloc k Holmes In his specialty, which consists of coal. Ice and negroes. Sev eral times a day his buggy drops in behind a coal wagon and trails that load to its destination If the driver loads one basket and takes ft Into a house Mr Buchanan makes a mental memorandum Then when the driver goes on to the purchaser's home and unloads the rest of the coal the inspec tor pit ks him up and they go down to see Judge Broyles It's usually 30 days in the stockade for the driver who goes into the retail business on the side. "Right now is the time to buy coal and be sure of getting full weight,” say the dealers "People who buy it by the basketful from dishonest drivers don't want coal in the summer. They buy only as they need it.
