749 TESTS FIND
102 WRONG
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE.
Va., Dec. 3.—More than 100 pieces
of measuring and weighing ap
paratus in public businesses in Ar
lington were found to be defective
in a county-wide inspection Just
completed, it was revealed here
today in a report submitted to
County Manager Frank Hanra
han by E. M. Moreland, inspector
of weights and measures for Ar
lington county.
Termed the “most accurate” in
spection made here in years, the
report showed a total of 749 in
spections made by Mr. Moreland
with the assistance of State offi
cials and some equipment from
the District of Columbia. One of
the heavy trucks used to inspect
coal and other heavy scales in the
District was loaned to Arlington
to check such scales in the county.
Breaking the total inspection
figure down, Mr. Moreland re
ported that 302 store scales had
been inspected, 14 heavy scales,
291 gas pumps, 51 grease pumps,
88 kerosene pumps and three mis
cellaneous pumps. Os the total
Inspection there were 102 defect
ive instruments, and 647 check
ing accurate.
Each of the 102 were ordered
corrected and a second check made
later revealed that all but three
had been made accurate. The
three that could not be made ac
curate were condemned.
Commenting on the inspection.
Mr. Moreland stated that in all
instances the defects could be
attributed to carelessness and not
to any intent to deceive the pub
lic.
Mr. Hanrahan, who termed the
inspection the most accurate made
here in recent years, said that
periodical tests would follow.
