IN ASSEMBLY,

January 7, 1831.

REPORT

From the Secretary of State to the Assembly, in relation to furnishing the Counties with the Standard Weights and Measures.

NEW }

SECRETARY'S OFFICE.

Albany, January 6, 1831.

The Secretary of State respectfully calls the attention of the Legislature to the annexed communication made to the Senate, in February last, in relation to furnishing copies of the original Standards of Weights and Measures to the several counties.

A bill on this subject passed the Senate at the last session, but was left with the unfinished business of the Assembly. Several applications have been made for copies of the Standards, by county sealers, and it is desirable that provisions should be made for the expense of such copies.

STATE OF NEW-YORK,
SECRETARY'S OFFICE.

Albany, February 19, 1830.

The Secretary of State, in connection with his duties as State Sealer of weights and measures, would respectfully call the attention of the Legislature to the provisions of the law in relation to furnishing the several counties with copies of the "original standards."

[blocks in formation]

By the old law, the standards for the county sealers were procured at the expense of the counties; and for the town sealers, at the expense of the towns. 1st Rev. Laws of 1813, p. 377.

The Revised Statutes (p. 609, vol. 1,) says, " copies of such original standards shall be transmitted by the State Sealer to the several county sealers, to be furnished by them to the town sealers in their respective counties, at the expense of the towns." The question is, whether the cost of the original standards transmitted by the State Sealer to the county sealers, shall be paid out of the treasury of the state, or be a charge upon the counties? And if in the former mode, then it is necessary to have an additional provision, that on the certificate of the State Sealer, the amount necessary to procure copies of the standards, shall be paid out of the treasury on the warrant of the Comptroller. But, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, it would be advisable to continue the provision, as heretofore, requiring the counties, as well as the towns, to provide standards at their own expense.

By an act of the last session, (chap. 297, p. 433,) it is provided that the standard weights and measures now in the office of the Secretary of State, shall be and remain the standards, until provision is made by the Legislature for the construction of those contemplated by chapter 19, of the revision. Copies of the standards now in this office, have been furnished to the greater part of the county sealers, at the expense of the counties; and since so many of them have been thus taxed, it would be entirely equitable to require the few remaining counties to procure copies of the standards at the expense of the counties requiring them.
