"While the which it amount of business done after seven p.m. is not very great," they said, "yet the cutting of it off will make a very considerable difference and in some cases will iprove a severe handicap to the continuance in business.

Poucher said apparently Chief King and Officer Hagart held different views on the sub- Ject. For his part, he thought it singling out the' butchers for discrimination. He thought it all right to require the weight to be marked on goods ordered by ;Phone or other message, but considered it absurd to ask butchers to write weight on the \slips where the customer gets his {meat in the shop. Deputy Lowe remarked that he had*yet to see a meat slip with the weight marked on it. Mayor Sprott thought the in- tention wus to have only the de- livered orders ticketed. * Clerk Smith said this was not the idea of the committee, which had agreed that all the orders should be accompanied by a Weight slip. Later, Ald. Poucher and Reeve Craig moved that only orders sent out should be ticketed but it was decided to have the com- mittee report on the matter. Coal Weight O. K.
