0 tered at one designated spot, and that tn
meat shall be subjected to one and the sam
0 | inspection.
= 1t thus appeared to me that existing laws
D If properly enforced, provided fully agans
=. any OF the abuses which were charge'
against the private market system
, but as the question of the publ
health was of such grave Importance
asked the official opinion OF the Board o
, Health on the subject. In reply, I receive,
| communication, which l inclose herewith
. stating that the Board of Health.has neve
expressed nor formed an opinion that pr
vate markets were preiudlcial to public
health, and that no complaints have eve
been made to the board against them; fur
Their, that the private markets are found t.
be generally clean and well kept, and tina
the food offered therein tor sale is fully
equal in quality to that exposed in tn,
public markets.
| The pecuniarv consideration urged II
favor OF the bill has very little weight.
the revenues of the city would be increased
by the suppression of private markets. i
could only be BY the collection of addi
tional taxation from the vendors of articles
OF food. and the amount thus raised would
eventually come out OF the pockets of the
consumers. Our policy should be. not te
increase the public revenues by acditiona
taxation, direct or indirect. but to tighten
the burdens OF the people by diminished
expenditures.
l can not think my approval of this &C:
would be for the public good. | therefore
tee. It ny DUTY to return this bill without
| my signature.

State of Louisiana, :,
New Orleans. February %. 1874.
COVER tori have the honor to state in
answer to your inquiry of February 81, that
| the Soard of Health has never expressed
nor formed al option that private markets
; were pre- judicial to the public health, either
from the mode in which they were con.
; Quoted o: from the quality of the food
the rein sold.
no Complaints against free markets for
violation of sanitary ordinances have ever
been entered at this office.
! The sanitary inspectors lnledical mem
| report private markets generally clean and
j well kept. and the quality of the food there.
| in offered tor sale fully equal 10 that eX-
posed in the public markets.
In the report of the board, Just made,
| some OF the inspectors have put on record
! an TN -ualitied approval of the method in
; which these private markets are conducted.
Since the proposition in the Legislature
; to do away with private markets. have
; personally examined a number of them, and
tind neither in the quality of the food fur.
nished nor in the method OF keeping, any.
thing meriting sanitary animadverson.
