Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Weights and Measures Situation in Philadelphia: A Report Setting Forth the Results of the Lack of a System of Official Inspection and Regulation, Together With a Digest of Existing Laws and Ordinances on the Subject and a Suggested Legislative Program Dear Sir: - We are submitting herewith for your consideration, in advance of general publication, a copy of a report upon weights and measures conditions in Philadelphia. The report contains the results of a careful investigation of the local situation, together with a discussion of existing laws and ordinances on the subject, and suggestions for additional legislation. Our study of the statutes has led to the conclusion that, under existing laws, the city has authority to establish a Bureau of Weights and Measures; this authority having been conferred by the Charter of 1789, entitled "An act to incorporate the city of Philadelphia" (II Mar., 1789, $16, 2 Smith's Laws, 467.) The results of our study of the actual practice of dealers with respect to weights and measures may be summarized briefly as follows: Tests (540 in number) were made of commodities sold by representative dealers in all parts of the city. Only one of fifteen tests of coal showed a full legal ton of 2240 pounds, and this one was 141 pounds over weight; two came within the legal limit of forty pounds. The greatest shortage amounted to 393 pounds on a ton. The shortage on the total amount purchased was over six per cent. Of 225 weight tests of groceries, 158 showed a shortage, and 58 an excess; the average shortage being seventy per cent., and the average excess being twenty-five per cent.
