BAD VEAL,

Seizures Of Impure Meat Mt the Jersey
City Fcrries-The City's Health Threat.
ened by the Use OF Immature Veal.
One Of the greatest miseries brought upon the
city by the want Of cheap transportation is that
arising from the sale OF impure and diseased
meat. There Is plenty OF good, healthy meat In
the country, and to place 1t IN the market at q
reasonable price we require cheap transportation.
AS it is, the railroad and steamboat monopolies
absorb the profits which snouId accrue to the
farmer, and most mercessly put the people of
New YORK under rightlulIy heavy contribution.
AS many as $50 quarters OF improper veal were
seized yesterday morning at the Barclay street
ferry, between two and three O'Clock. They came
over the Midland and Erie roads. A large portion
was from the dairy districts of Orange county,
where calves are Killed of at very early age.
This impure, immature meat was hidden IN out OF
were supposed to contain poultry. The new and
wideawake hands who are engaged in this dis
ferent ferries, and are thus enabled to run this
poison IN to the market by stealth. quantity or
TINS kind OF garbage comes down on barges from
Newbure and other river towns. The calves are
bought from the farmers at about seventy-fve
cents head, and the purchasers dispose OF the
hide for more than That sum- The meat brings
one knows that good veal cannot be bought on the
hOof for less than from twelve to fifteen cents
pound. This sickiy veal-or "bOb," as 1t is called
Is disposed Of In tile lower part of the city; but
may be found in the shops up town, where 10 Is sold
to the poor. To put stop to this outrageous trade
the authorities OF Jersey CITY must give helping
meats passing through the limits OF the municipal
tty, and seize impure meat, besides furnishing
those who may be found selling 1t. Colonel Devoe,
the superintendent OF Markets, and. the market
clerks aided the inspectors from the Board OF
Health. They and their aids were en- tirely mad
equate to the task of preventing the damaged ar
ticle from being run across the river, for, while the
Colonel and his men were Watching at one place
the veal went over at another.
