THE ABATTOIR.
Or. Hunter McGuire's Views on the Use

.
| fulness of One.
Or. Hunter McGuire was asked what were
his views on an abattoir for Richmond. at
should be built" said the Doctor. "Such a
move would be highly advantageous to Rich
mOnd. Nhy, even stanton has Just COM
! plcted an abattoir, and am very glad that
| TIE TINES is infusing more public spirit
/ i'm our citizens rs regards city hospital,
abattoir and other public conyeniences."
/ The stencil arising from the slaughter
! houses Just outside of Richmond is terrible.
/ Not only on Brook avenue is this the case,
| but ON Ncnahle and other points is The
/ stencil noticeable. OF course, this state Of
! things is detrimental TO the health of the
city, for not only are TIE people concerned
~ no li1e near the slaughter houses, but the
general public is concerned that have to eat
, cue meats
| "Wth an ahattolr all this disagreeable
odor could he dOne away tvith and cattle
could be killed in scientific way. Every
| thing at such a place is saved, ana maue
use Of. The h0ols, blood, portions OF the
| body unfit for USE all is saved in an abat-
tOir, and the butcher and patron have the
satisfaction alike Of KNOWING that the meat
| Us perfectly sOuHd and good no sick or
diseased cattle can be killed at such place.
and the health Of the public is maintained
rs far as meats are concerned"
" As II is now, every man does his own
| killing, and the public has to stand both
the odOr and the butchers word as 10 the
meats being good. or course, do not
mean 10 infer that the butchers impose on
their patrons, but il could be done if the
market-hOuse inspectors were TO relax their
vigilance. The abattOr would do away
with this doubt, and would be great deal
more satisfactory. Then, too, the persons
living in the vicinity of the slaughter-hOuses
are TO be considered. The stencil is terri
Bile, and being outside of the CITY.
the law can have no effect on the
butchers. At the next meeting OF the Legis-
lature the city should get sanitary control
"a mile around the city, just in that same
way she now has police protection. In this
way If the butchers created any nuisance.
the city could then indict them. This way,
Of course, would be very unsatisfactory and
would hc the means al stirring up strife.
in an abattOir situated, say AT Rockets :.
where plenty OF water can be gotten.
there would be no more trouble. OF course
the butchers would necessarily have 10
bring their cattle further 10 be killed, but il
Is "A far better plan for them 10 have their cat
Tie killed in Il scientific manner than 10 con
tinue the way in which it is done at pres
ent."'
Let us have an abattOir and CITY hospl
tai by all means, and if we get these two In
sttutions IL will be good proof of II iah
mond's progressiyeness.' N.Y.

TRUSTIT WILL BE BUILT.
A Valuable Contemporary Views About
the Natatoriun.

In the July number Of the Richmond Mer-
camille and Manufacturing Journal, just
issued. is the following: THE RICHMOND
TIMES is advocating the establishment of a
nataforium for Richmond. In this GHE
TIMES has our cordial cooperation. All
children should be thoroughly skilled in
the art of swimming. II is an accomplish
ment of great value not only to those en-
gaged in callngs which subject them to
the pcrils Of the sea, but TO all others, in
every ayOcation known 10 man. II l.
important that our city should have
school of this kind, where our
children NAV be taught to swim rs
skilmlly rs natatorial birds. This is an art
that we do not possess, hut still we would
place high value on it, if we could but OBJ
tain it. The establishment Of the natato-
rum will not only add another great attrac-
ton 10 our city. but will be highly priced in
the future for its teachings and many good
results. In addition TO this. we believe If
the school is established and properly man
AGED. 1t will be good paying enterprise.
We favor the scheme for having the natato-
RUM and We trust il Will be speedily
built"
