Will you favour 1110 with space for se few lines err a
subject which is again attracting public attention, ma.
the state of our slaughter-homes and pig-styes. I Mei,
heard Professor Faraday remark, "There is no such thing
as dirt or rubbish, it is simply matter out of place:" so
these pieces, which are • necessity in civilized countries,
usually become offensive by being where they should not,
in • "populous place.- One thing ii a spirit of fair play
I would say— Let all come under the same condemnation.
If one is • nuisance, all are unhealthy, and if iiiihealthy in
July and August, so they are the whole year, though
unobserved. Don't then turn out A. whose slaughter-
house or pip are at the Friary, while B. has perhaps an
equally foul place under the windows of many neighbours.
All ought to be turned out of the town, and therefore the
question Is to provides suitable site, and proper manage-
ment Slaughter-houses cam be kept perfectly sweet if
sightly constructed. Pigs though generally supposed to
be naturally dirty, are no: so. i can say from experience
they like a clean skin, and in their endeavour to obtain
this, will wash in dirty water if they cannot get into a
good running stream ;and o ithout regard to their feeling's
their owners may learn in time to keep them clean, for the
reason that it is__prolitable, 411 hn as been ofte clearly
demonstrated. More than this I can my for poor piggy
bring him up in a nice clean airy bed-room, and, rather
than soil his carpet, lie will get up in the night, amid pout
should he have occasion to do so. The boiling of offal is
in itself no more objectionable than boiling • joint of
meat, the nuisance being caused by the sediment
consequent on boiling, which settles to the bottom of the
copper, and if not cleaned out after using, geta burnt the
next time the fire is lit. (If Mr. Groves will please take
notice, his name will not appear no frequently in the
Sanitary Inspector's reports). Now as to site ; cannot we
take a hint from our neighbours across the channel, who
, provide public abbatoirs I Every right-minded butcher
would be glad to rent, at a fair price, a nice commodious
slaughter-house; and what better place is there to build
such than the new fair ground at Beggar's Knee.
All cattle, pigs, and sheep, coming in either from the
market, or by rail or road in any direction, can be driven
there, without exposing them to the annoyance of the
. crowded public streets, and they will die or live all this
more comfortably for being saved thi, worry. not to
mention the relief it would be to nervous ladies and
children in the town. Let then proper slaughter houses
and pig-styes he built on a convenient part of this ground,
and the Local Board would be justified in saying to each
butcher—you may go there if you like; if not, go elsewhere
you imist. I think all would go without compulsion, and
willingly pey as rental, a fair interest on the outlay,
which should not be extravagant. Now having got them
all out of the town, those who are tenants of the
Corporation will he easy of control, under what is the
most essential bunt of all, proper ninnaproicoa. For the
new market and fair ground there must lie a market
keeper, whose duty it should be among other things not
! only to inspect these places daily, and see that they are
~ kept scrupulously loan, but who should be held respon-
sible for their being so, with the power to .10 it by giving
I him the aleolute control of men eineloYed for the
purpose. Here's a lot of expense, some will say; who's
going to pay for it all I reply, cleanliness in this matter.
will be self-supporting. If the pens are asphalted, which
they should be, the sweepings of theni in a year wilt mak...
a considerable heap of valuable manure; and, in miditiots
to this, there will be a very large amount of Motel refuse,.
which should lie utilized. This now runs part into thee
sewers, and part olirectly into the river. I it.. not know
which is the worse. That in the sewers male, the foetal
of gas. That which moo into the river up here, the trout
object to, and consequently go elsewhere: perishes thee*
further down arc not wi fastidious or don't mind it after
it has been mixed with other dainties in passing through
the sewer. I would propose that all refuse solid and liquid
should he removed uiaiiy on to Fcelinzton field or else-
where. Although the arert refose is, n :Lemont of the
large proportion of ashes in it, almost morthless to our
local farmers, whose land is already
this they would be glad to get; and it would pay,
not only for carting but for the Labour of volleetiag, ;
and surely this would he an improvement on the present
systom of bending it hy water carriage into the next
parish. The results of such a proposal as I have made
above, would I believe be cleanliness in our honler.:. a
better supply of fresh tish, and less week for our mislical
men, who will not I am sure on that account oppose sly
pant. UXANNICHCIIIvLICHILEITEN.
