The Commiitee on Public Build nss. on the
petition from various butchers, asking the
passage OF all ordinance to prevent the sale Ut

| Law Cummittee to have prepared an Ordi-
| nance 10 prevent men knownas FARMERS
| agents" from selling meat on our streets.
In the discussion which followed this report
| it was stated that our market is attended by
| class of men who buy slaughtered bullOcks
| from farmers, and then obtaining from the
sellers permission TO act as agents. This places
| them beyond the provisions Of tho Ordinance
prohibiting the sale of meat on the streets, by
'shinners.'

| that the existing Ordinance was stringent
enough If enforced, and so the report OF the
committee was not adopted.
