REPORT OF PRESIDENT SCHULTZ.
The following report from President Schultz upon
bis conference with the butchers read by the Secre
tary and laid upon tho table for further considerations
To the MeiyoIotan board Of He1th At meeting Of the
butchers Of New York convened by your request full aud

Of rigid enforcement Of sanitary laws their occupation
laughtering done in soseny and manise
ner and by methods in form very Objectionable that both
public and the laws Of health demanded change
With this frank ayowa OF the evils that present exist
were surprised to hear them promise you cooperation in
many Of them concede s the evils exist they think
remedy should be found and applied to the system in
location rather thar be forced into another
location from their present houses 10 short they want
reformed and not banshed' This Ia their posi-
ton stated In the fewes words The position which the
butchers occupy IS not unnatural aud may command
sympathy not our concurrence They assume that
detrimental TO health Coneeding this to be true Of the
place or act Of appears to Us that there are other
count. Briefly stated they are as fonow,; The
streets. The Off. mu. be removed from the
to distant point In consequence Of the limited yard room
the animals must remain crowded dsteorating he health

en.ve odors which sre forced bach through the
ings Only limited number OF cattle should occupy tho
should more than buocks be driven time Build
occupied houses should not be occupied for
eIcasiyey used for th, purpose and always wei. ventilated
Above and all other should be no
cellar under apstuent filed with lee otherwise into
which the Sanitary Inspector not readily for the
performance Of his duty
Besides these sanitary considerations should be reme.
bered that the people OF this city taxed $4,000

housesa statement that cannot be made In regard

butchers cede something Of that spirit Of
that natural right Of occupsonwhich they la with

ing and superior In which all parts OF
tbs animal would be appropriated and applied TO human
wants would In Judgment partially carried out

butchers 10 adopt the location and apply the
The conviction forced upon us, after the
fecon that later the saughteng OF animals must
be- discontinued IN the tcky populated portions Of the city
and judgments In saying that this should be done
just proper plan OF sbatoirs be devised and
properly located But In the meantime what shall bs done
viz Control and regulate prohibit all killing OF animals In
improper badly buildings mako stringent
regulations viii compel all who resaTdess lives
or health OF their feowmep, their calling TO sban
don the city for the citys good We shall have difficulty
In enforcing temporarily the following regulations the
construction, location and management OF such slaughter
houses permitted TO remain Not only ssugh
ter houses be reet where properly constructed sewer
Is located but connection must be- formed In capacity not
less than foot in diameter All killing should be done
g hoors that have cutters and connections with the
branch Exposure to the street should be avoided and
TO this end the sbould be- done the
lot In an inclosed house properly ventilated Under cir
eunsances should blood other Ieuse matter be
United TO remain the building night The walks and
passage ways should be at all times kept clean and from
bood'stains and other Impurities As far possible the load
ing aud unloading both OF live well dead animals oud
take place within the Enclosure.
