Let $\nu$ be a positive Borel measure on a space of homogeneous type $(X,d,\mu)$, satisfying the doubling property. A condition on a weight $w$ for which a maximal operator $ M_\nu f(x)$ defined by $$ M_\nu f(x)=\sup_{r>0} \frac {1 }{\nu(B(x,r))} \int_{B(x,r)} |f(y)|d\mu(y), $$ is of weak type $(p,p)$ with respect to $(\nu,w)$, is that there exists a constant $C$ such that $C\le w(y)$ for a.e. $y \in B(x,r)$ if $p=1$, and $\left (\frac{1}{\nu(B(x,r))} \int_{B(x,r)} w(y)^{-\frac{1}{p-1}}d\mu(y)\right)^{p-1} \le C, $ if $1
