the Committee, with power to investigate
all like places, in company with the Health
Offlcer. for report in detail.
Mr.. BIsndfass hoped the motion would
not prevail. II the Butchers Association
plant was a nuisance. it ought to bs re-
moved at once. This was good time TO
begin. But, he wanted to remind MI
Seeley the minority report SAID no nuisance
existed. In proceeding, he said the
Butchers Association knew, when they
began rendering tallow, they were violat'
ing the law. They had only been Kept
out of trouble by the kindness OF the May
or.
Mr.. Davidson moved 10 amend Mr..
Seeley's motion By adopting the minority
report. Members OF Council had gene
ont, and had said there was no smell. II
that was 60, the Butchers ought TO be 81
lowed to run 90, until all similar establish
ments were abolished.
Mr.. Maxwell did not believe in giving
an Unlimited license. He was in favor OF
go amer ding Mr.. Divid:on's motion as
to adopt the minority report, 80 modified
as TO give the Association permission to
operate until April lat, az which time
there shonld be a full investigation.
Mr.. Yshn moved to table. This was
lost, ayes 8, noes Is.
IRE question then recurrsd on Mr.. Mex
wells amendment to Mr.. Dayidson's mo-
ton.
Mr.. See,ey advocated it, and said to
suppress the Butchers Association would
oe class legislation.
This brought Mr.. Brsndfass TO his feet.
He did not know what Mr. Seeley was
talking about. The butchers were rem
dering tsllow unlswfully. and Mr. Seeley
knew it, aud the butchers knew it. 1t
WAS through the neglect of some one that
they had not been stopped long ago.
Mr.. Seeley thought be understood very
we'll what he was talkisg about, although
the gentleman might not be able to COM
prehend il The Butchers Association was
rendering in violation OF law, be granted,
but 80 were others. For that reason he
was opposed to discrimination.
Mr.. Brandfass-The gentleman is mere
~ beating about the bushH Is not the
Butchers Association violating the law?
Mr.. Seeley-I'm not on the witness
stsad.
Mr.. Maxwell thought Mr.. Sseley's posi-
ton wss right.
Mr.. Axle said tallow rending had been
carried on in the city as long as he conld
remember, and in all that time the Batch
ers' Association was the only concern
which had endesvored to make the pro-
cess of rendering inoffsnsive. Half the
members Of Council did not understand
the question. He was opposed to amp
ing on the Association, while others were
allowed to 20 scot free He offered a sub
etituie for Mr.. Max Wells resolution giving
the Association permission 10 render until
all sach institutions were driven out OF the
CITY.
Mr. Ellingham called for the Health
OH GERS report.
In response to this, d. Garrison said he
had made no written report, because at the
meet ny Of the Health Committee al ad.
verse report was adopted, and he had rot
thought any farther &C loo necessary. He,
however,, gave detailed statement of his
observations at the building owned by
the Association. In his opinion the plant
was a nuisance, and was detrimental to
health, but the soap factories, the oil re
fiOery, and Isham q Digby's poultry yard
we're all worse than the Association plsnt.
That plant was nuisance, bat it was
ne ", and was therefore not as bad as the
other places he had mentioned. More
complaints had been made of the places he
had mentioned than had been made Of The
Association building.
Messrs Davidson, Z nmerth, and Filing
ham, then spoke, and finally the question
was put in Mr.. Ankles substitute, ard it
wss carried.
Then Mr.. Sseley said Council ought 10
meet the cry of citizsns for general relief.
He hoped members would meet the ques-
ton ike men. On his motion the general
matter of nuisances was referred TO the
Health Committee for Through investiga-
tion and report TO Council.
