Sec. 36-4. Procuring and keeping set of weights and measures.[419]
The city council shall procure, at the expense of the city,
and keep at all times, such standards of weight and measure
and such additional equipment, to be used for the enforcement
of the provisions of this chapter and of the laws of the state,
as may be prescribed by the state commissioner of agriculture
and immigration. When such standards of weight and measure
shall have been examined and approved by the state commissioner
of agriculture and immigration they shall be the official
standards for the city. It shall be the duty of the city
sealer to make, or to arrange to have made, at least as frequently
as once a year, comparisons between his field standards
and appropriate standards of a higher order belonging
to the city or to the state, in order to maintain such field
standards in accurate condition.
