AHACcce, uppoluueU uuuer reSOlutlOu OF
your honorable body, adopted on the
twelfth OF January, ''to investigate the
affairs of the Crescent City Live Stock
Landing and Slaughterhouse Company,
and to ascertain if they have complied
with the provisions Of their charter, ETC. I"
beg leave to report that they have given
much time and careful investigation into
the affairs and management Of said COM
pany, and have taken the testimony of
many persons familiar with the working
and management of the same.
Your committee, after careful examina-
ton Of the act entitled an act to protect
the health of the city of New Orleans, to
locate the stock landings and slaughter
houses, and to incorporate the Crescent
City Live Stock Landing and Slaughter
house Company, approved March s, 1869,
together with the testimony adduced be-
fore the committee, are constrained to
report that said company has failed to
comply with the third section of said act.
That said company have never pro-
uded slaughterhouses of sufficient
capacity to accommodate oil butchers, or
sufficient sheds and stables to accom-
modate all the stock received at this
port"
That for the want of room to hang the
butchered cattle in the slaughterhouses q
sufficient time to allow the evaporation
of the animal heat, the butchers are
compelled to cart away their meat in a
warm condition, the effect of which is q
more rapid decay of the butchered meat,
which operates detrimentally to the
pecuniary interest of the butchers and
to the health OF the people Of New Or
leans.
Your committee are Of opinion that
the Crescent City Live Stock Landing
and Slaughterhouse Company have in
Cured the penalty of the forfeiture of
their charter as provided in the third
(3) section of the act of incorporation
and should no longer be permitted to
carry on the business Of slaughtsring,
ETC., to the exclusion of fair and lust
competition, by other parties, and your
committee therefore beg to submit for
the consideration of your honorable
body the accompanying bill entitled an
act to regulate the location of slaughter
houses and the inspection OF meat in the
city of New Orleans, and the parishes of
Jefferson, Orleans and St. Bernard, and
the duty of the Attorney General, the
city of New Orleans, and the Board of
Metropolitan Police in cases concerning
persons engaged in the business of pre-
pairing meat for market.
