scales, $5.00 each; railroad track scales, $10.00 each; all hopper or 

 automatic scales, $2.00 each. 



The revenue received by the state for scale licenses is $6,108.00. 



The inspection of platform, counter and cream scales is also an 

 important part of our work. Our records show there were 1,386 

 platform scales, 4,414 counter scales, 3,826 cream scales tested. Of 

 the total number of these scales, which is 9,626, 505 were found to 

 be incorrect, the same being condemned for repairs. A great many 

 of these were found to be weighing in favor of the public. These 

 scales have either been discontinued from use, replaced with new 

 scales or repaired. 



The total revenue received by this department, which is $28,845.24, 

 was turned over to the state treasurer and credited to the general 

 fund of the state. This department is operated by a direct appro- 

 priation of the legislature and cannot use any of the fees collected.
