Mr. !ou1bertson introduced tho subjeot by
tn4uiring OF tho Mayor what l,e intended doing
with tho paokora. If IL was concluded that thoy
could not remove the olfa1 from tho city gomo-
whore they might Just az well close up the
Stock Yards, and tell the farrnors to send their
hogs somewhere else. They must dispose Of
their offal somewhere.
The Mayor supposed they could romovo 1t to
the Ainsworth establishment, "a
Alr. Culborsaon smiled, and tho Mayor In
auired what ho wanted tho city to do on tho
subject
Mr.. Culbortaon wanted tho Fortilizing Con,-
pauy not to be en1oined from removing tho oftul
Tor tho remainder OF the season.
The Mayor said he understood tint tho Con-
pany had obtained temporary injunction
against tho authorites OF Hyde Park. II this
injunction was sustained, there was nothing
moro to be done. II not. tlon tho pachors must
sock somo other means Of dieposng Of their
olfal. Ho Ind assumed that tho works could
bo carried on without being nuis-
ance, for tho Company claimed to havo
overcome these objections. Ho then explained
tho geographical advantages to Hyde Park
Of the situation Of tho Compary's works at Aims
worth. Tho Company had their charter for this
place and for no othor. .
! 1Ir. SWEET aseented to this. The Company
could not. under this charter, locate anywhere
else. Besides 1t was absolutely impraoticable to
do 80 now and furnish another outlet during the
present season. Nothing could be done to re-
Neye tho packing interest during tho present
winter. The question assumed tho shape whether
the establishment at AinBworth should bo kept
open, or the packing houses bo completely
closed.
Tho Mayor did not hesitate to say that tho
Board Of Hoalth regarded 1t rs an imperative
sanitary necessity that the amell should bo dis
tributcd somewhere IT the pac}iors should at
tempt to manipulate tho offal in tho city, thoy
would assuredly come under the law, and would
be indicted, their business suppressed, and thoir
packing-houacs closed. Either they must man.
uiaeture inoffensively or c!oso up.
Mr.. CulbertBon replied tllat this could not bo
done during the present Hcaaon: They needed
certain drying apparatus to rcndcr tho offa1 in-
11ensiyo. Thrro WAS only ono way opon and
that was to remove tho ofral, OF shut up the
packing houses, and throw ont Of employment
10000 people.
Tho Mayor eatd ho thought it tho 1lcayieat in
luBtry In tho city, being, ~ he said to reporter
some days ago, to Chicago what the iron interest
Alr. Culbortson was afraid TINT tho Injunction
would bo removed.
Tho MaTor was at a. loss to know vhore tho
business could bo conducted without being Of
donyiyo. Thore appeared to bo no placo in the
county where it could bo situated, our suburbs
exhibited such violence at tho location of tho
establishment in place where 1t did not affect
them. A resident Of Hyde Parlz assured him
that tito smell from tho establishment did not
affect the Hyde Park House four times in your.
JHe lad spent great deal Of timo i'll nycstlgat-
Ing the matter Of q location, and tho only rlaeo
that seemed practicable to him was at point
east OF the railroad track, and south OF tue Cal-
urnet River. Bnt tho Company's charter pro-
vented their moving tlore.
h1r. CnlbertBon said il they could go on unin-
-terrupted through tho present eeaaon therc
Tould DO no further trouble, as tho commotion
had determined oyery packer to adopt other
means for the future. He inquired what would
be done in case the Injunction yas dissolved,
