PAGE TW NEW SCALES ARE BEING INSTALLED 'Whitby, Aug, 81.--The work of in- stalling the new ten-ton civic weigh scales purchased by the Town Coun- cell is now well under way in the town yard and they will be ready for use shortly, The scales are of the most modern type and are the same as now in use in towns of Whit. by's size, and larger. They are being installed by the Fairbanks Morse Company, who built the scales that have served the town for over half a century, Because of the fact that the mew scales will be able to handle even the heaviest loads, increased revenue from them may occasionally be ex- pected. The largest trucks on the road can now bring their loads to Whitby to be weighed, and it is pos sible that steps will be taken to ac quaint truck owners of this fact, Heretofore the heaviest load that could be taken care of by the town gcdles was three tons, with the result that people in and out of town using them weye put to considerable in- convenience, especially if they had trucks of the largest and heaviest type.
