city limits may be buried. He says that the
failure to provide such place has in the past
been a great annoyance and heavy burden to
citizens owning animals. An animal dying
on ones hands heretofore has cost nearly as
much in many cases for burial as it was
worth when alive, owing to the great diff
Guilty experienced in finding place where
the carcass could be deposited and in obtaining
the means Of transportation. He claims the
city is large enough to warrant the Trustees
| in giving some one person or company the
exclusive privilege of receiving the carcasses
of all dead animals in the city, except those
of fowls. In that case, the person would be
required to provide properly arranged trucks
and carts, and to dispose of all
dead animals Immediately upon notice, and
all persons owning dead animals should be
required, under penalty, to notify the proper
officer of the death Of such animal. He
claims that such an arrangement would be
greatly beneficial to the city, andcould be
made profitable to the contractor. who would
convert the carcasses into merchautable goods.
In some places the privilege of disposing of
the carcasses is sold at premium. The cor
respondent is prominent butcher, and says
that his opportunities for forming a correct
Judgment in this matter have been extended.
He is not an applicant for the privilege sug-
gested, nor does he know of any one wishing
such contract, but believes that the crea-
ton of such an exclusive privilege would re-
suit in some one coming forward to take it.
