BREAD LOAVES SMALLER.
In Chicago Short Weights Said To Be Given.
CHICAGO, April 17.—City Sealer Kjellander has begun a canvass to ascertain the weight of loaves of bread sold by dealers throughout the city. Owing to litigation over the city ordinance requiring bakers to give full weight loaves to customers, Mr. Kjellander is powerless to begin prosecutions but he announces that the data he obtained would be used in a further effort to prevent bakers from selling short weight bread. Several months ago Judge Windes held that the bread ordinance was unconstitutional and an appeal was taken by the city to the Supreme Court. A decision is expected from that tribunal within the next few weeks, and if Judge's opinion is sustained Mr. Kjellander proposes to urge the passage of a new ordinance.
