They wished to deal fairv vith .t}1e'pub_lic, and when their _ sea I_e:_,e ` were com- demned ordered `a new` set,;_ the same. day, of the very'lateSt_,ba1lbearing pattern.

His, s_cales~were of three tons capacity, and the coal weighed 1 seldom was more than a _ one.-horse_ load, a tonto a ton and Tao-hjalf.

Mr. VValter `Sarjeant told ' The Advance that the coal dealers brought` an expert from Toronto to adjust any scales that might prove inaccurate. Inspector and expert .-met at the coal yard.

IV- ' `LQIAQIIIDII u\J vv AL Uvtltav From What can be learned` by in- terviewing the coal men, past tests" of the big` scaleshave been with 1000- lb. weights never with 3-ton weights as was `used this a time. As Loted above when the weights were placed in the centre of the platform the scales varied as. stated,` but .when "the side tests were made all fell down, either the weight would be. in favor of the buyer, or it would `bethe coal men who would be gh- ing light weight. In short none of . the scales were very. badly out for ordinary weighing; and only under the severe test did the fault show. As will be seen from the in- terviews below, the defects are be-. ing remedied. -ur ` Al '1 11 L,_L ,.f____- . uuv uuuavu vvxuu mic cAUU1Jb1Ul1'U.L Wni. _G'r_acey & Sons. Following the test of the Sarjeant scales, the To-, ronto expert adjusted them as re! gquired by the inspector, when they were then passed by him. Some`ad- justment put Parker s scales in proper order. The various scales were` sub- jected to a test of 6000 pounds;`the testing being done from every angle that it was possible to make '-a- test, the inspector even putting on a.test' in connection with the` town scales not called for by the regulations. VVhen the weights wereplaced on the centre of theplatform, that. is within thespace upon which a load is driven it was_ found that the town scales registered- ' the correct weight, while on the scalesof four of `the dealers, the gures of which `were seen by The Advance, varied from 6002 pounds to_ ` 6070 pounds, which being interpreted means -that the consumer "would be "paying for that many pounds, but in reality only getting 6000 pounds. ,As far as can be learned the only repairs needed to the various ` scales are new pivot pins, which are in the four corners of the scales.` These have been ordered by theochairman of the Market committee for the [town scales. Another move has been made` in the dispute between the Sarjeant __coal_- company and the Board of Education, when on Thursday of last Week -the inspector of weights and measures for this district visit- ed Barrie to inspect" the various `scales of the town upon which coal lis weighed. The visit was at the [request of the Sarjeant Co. The scales of the six coal men were tested as Well as the town scales at the market. At the ma_rket scales it was gfound that `when a load was drivensquarely onto the centre of the platform the weight Was correctly registered; 1 when placed to either side of the plat- form the accuracy ofr the scales was missing. From What The Advance can `learn the inspector` condemned or ordered adjustment or- repairs to all the scales with the exceptionof Wh1 (11-onoxv Xv Qnnn .1.3..I'l.....2......

As it was the receipts -for the two days were but $29.00 less than the receipts for 1913, the record year.
