The Slaughter House Question.

The question of building a public
slaughter house outside the city has been
pretty generally discussed. and it seems to
be about settled that il will become fact.
The question principally has been as to
location and economy, which seems to be
pretty we'll settled now, as an offer has
been made the citysby Otis j. Dimiek.
proprietor of the fair grounds, which is
very likely TO be accepted.
Mr.. Dimick offers to annex to the city
1861 acres of land. including the fair
grounds and stock farm. providing the
slaughter pens were provided for as con-
templated. The remainder he would lay
off in building lots, and these would bring
sufficient revenue to the city to more than
offset the interest on the investment, and
eventually the city would be able by the
increase of value to pay the principal.
Mr., Dimick reserves IA acres on the
river front for manufacturing purposes.
and If the proposition. which has been
reduced to writing.is accepted by the city
the slaughter house question will be set
tied, and the city. SIS it looks now, be gain
or thereby. The butchers, as rule.
would not object to a general slaughter
house, and the result would in the end be
beneficial to all parties This proposition
seems to meet with much favor. and will
probably be accepted as solution to the
slaughter house question. We lay these
points before the public for iaformatioB.
have a general slaughter house, the looa"
ton is:.a good one, and the investment to
the city probably az economical as any
that could be named.
