My attention was called, on Sal Irdsy,
to d considerable excitement in t4e city,
caused by "a Injunction served on all the
V6Gt shops, calling on them to close
FEriug market hours. There are points
" be discussed or both sides-Ehether
there shall be market houses or meat
shops. The question gives rise to many
points, and is certainly of great interest
and Of vital Importance to this or any
ether community. Many will argue the
convenience, the saving OF time, the
~chsspnsss Of meats, etc, 10 having shops.
Those who -rgus this way certainly do
not know, OF have not had experience
enough 10 see the inpositions that can
be paimed of on them. Every we'll
regulated city, both il Europe and our
own country, Is well supplied with good
snd substantial market houses. In most
cities they are fne, elegant, costly build
ings, aud great pride is sttached 10 them
By their ciJiz5ns.
Much rests with the authorities or
councils Of cities 20 see that the citizens
ars fed with pure aud wholesome arti-
eies Of diet, butchers NESTS especially.
Health should 6e paramount to all other
points. Do you fud diseased or murrsin
beef Ia market hOuses7 no, becsnse
the butcher is surrounded by those of his
own profession. Shsms or exposure
would deter him from selling it. Would
