INSPECTION OF MEAT.
DIR. oppenhimsr visited the First Market
Yesterday Morning.

The publication yesterday in TIE TINES Of
the fact that the president of the Board of
Health inspected tho First market Tuesday
and discovered spoiled meat revived on the
street the discussion of the necessity of
regular meat Inspector. and brings 70 the
front again question not dead but dormant.
The inspection Tuesday by DR.. Oppenhi-
mer was Of the most casual character, and
while not carried 70 any length, developed
some facts in connection with the meat con-
sumed IN this city that was surprising On
the report of Health Officer Lamkin that
there was q large lot of unsound meat
that had been sold by jobber TO
retail dealers near the Old Market,
DR.. Oppenhimer inspected tho same,
ard finding it unfit for use conisosted tho
pile. He learned from the seller and buyer
that such meat was habitually sold in Rich
mond to retail dealers in this locality. whose
customers are almost entirely negroes. rs No.
2 bacon. and re old by them to this class of
people for common uses.
" hile in the neighbOrhOod of the market
Or. Oppenbimer made a casual inspection Of
several stalls in the market. and putting the
butchers on their honor. two Of them admit
ted that they had unsound meat on their
counters.
DR.. Oppenhimer confscated the pieces re-
ferred TO. and after calling the attention of
lHc tlcIk OF tue iuhIhct 70 lla hutl III ILLS
respect returned TO his Office. Although the
visit was Of the most casual character it is
said 10 have created considerable consterna-
ton and demonstrated tho fact that the
clerks of the markets are not paying strict at
tention to this part If their duties. and also
that there is need.of meat inspection. not only
before Strengthening but afterwards as well.
There are three policemen at the command
OF the Board OF ilealth-one for each district
known as health officers who see TO the carry
ing out of the instructions Of the Board, and
look after the violations Of the healgh and
sanitary laws whom they have timc. 10 was
on complaint Of one of these officers
that the inspection above referred 10 WAS
made. In addition 70 these officers
there is clerk at each market whose duty It
is 10 daily inspect the market 10 see that it il
kept clean and that no spoiled meat or vege-
tables are offered for sale. II is stated on the
authority OF a reliable butcher in q Richmond
market that hogs suffering from cholera are
frequently slaughtered and sold 10 consumers
