Weights and Measures
A correspondent, in another column, deals at considerable length with the question of an Inspector of Weights and Measures for the Borough jf Feilding. Most business people here will be surprised to learn that, since the year 1884, they have enjoyed the privilege of possessing such an official; but we can assure them such is the case, because we have seen a letter from the Colonial Secretary to a resident who applied for the position, where the fact is clearly stated. It is also mentioned that Constable Man* kino, of Palmerßton North, is the person who is supposed to exercise the functions and powers given under the Act. The question naturally enough arises, why has the Inspector never visited this part of the district during his term of office ? It would be hard to find a reply without inspiration. Now, however, that public attention has been called to what must appear to many as his remissneas, we trust he will no longer neglect the performance of his duties, and that he will satisfy even " Justice," by the vigor with which he performs them. Why our local Constable could not be ap pointed, instead of the Palmerston man, is one of the mysteries which no fellah can understand.
