Show COAL WEIGHTS ARE UP TO STANDARD Special .to The Tribune. OGDEN, Dec. 9. Heber C. Smith, state sealer of weights and measures, assisted as-sisted by two deputies, has made a complete com-plete lnvestigalion of retail coal weights in this city during the past few days and has found conditions satisfactory. The coming of the state inspectors was not known to the dealers, and loads of coal from the nine yards in this city were "picked up'' on tho streets. The tests which followed at the city scales showed all quantities to be up to weight and in some instances were overweight. A similar test about one year apo disclosed dis-closed several cases of shortweight. |
