entailed too much travel upon the mar
ket inspectors, who had to go in all di-
rections to inspect the meats as fact as
slaughtered. What the city now needs
| is an .abbattoir of 10 or dozen slaughter
houses all built alongside of one an
other, outside the city limits. The
health of the city demands that these
slaughtering places be daily inspected,
which cannot be done if they are scat
tered all over the county from Santa
Monica to San Gabriel.
Mr.. Rees said he was in favor of any
movement that brought new and addi-
tlonal business to the city and wanted
to see the business 90 ahead and prosper.
But he was not willing to 20 ahead and
grant exclusive privileges to any person
without granting equal privileges to
all. He wanted to see time granted
on this matter, 60 that the council could
determine upon the question between
this and the next meeting.
Mr.. Tufts sent up an amendment by
which he moved to amend the licensing
of slaughter houses. The whole subject
matter went over to next Friday at 10
O'Clock.

over to the next year.

council, and lhey should dispose of it.

enough law now for any ordinary c6ndi-
tion of affairs. This ordinance did not
