 Elected to tho National Convention
 in Wheeling.
 The formation of stock corporation with headquarters in this city for the pur- pose of refining fat Is one of the proba- bilities of the near future. This step was decided upon at an important meeting of the New Haven Butchers Retail Protective association, held in the Insurance building yesterdsy afternoon. Many of the mem- bers of the association were present and much interest was manifested in the project.
 This new corporation will be known as the New Haven Retail Butchers' Fat asso- ciation and will have @ capital stock of from $25, 900 to &50,000. A special meet ing of the New Haven Retail Butchers Protective association will be held shortly, | when the stock of the new enterprise will | be subscribed for, directors elected and the formation of the corporation completed. l The date of this meeting has not yet been assigned, but notices will be sent out call ing the meeting in the oourse of . few days.
 The association also discussed the ques 1 ton of diseased meats and severely scored the board of health of the city for not talk ing prompt measures to prevent the gale of stale and diseased meat in the city. As one of the members expressed 1t: "The l quantity of diseased and bloodshot meat sold in this city every week is something | appalling Many cases of sickness are directly attributable to this source and yet our efficient 50 called board of health takes no action on the matter. It is Q crying shame, and some action should be taken on this question immediately What New Haven needs and ought to have is a thor oughly competent meat inspector, and l when the city does have one promise you there will be considerable less sickness"
 During the discussion there was consld erable talk of presenting petition to the l court of common council for the appoint ment of meat inspector, but no action was taken. It was stated during this dis cussion that many members of the associa tion could give the board of health and County Health Officer Hoadley some vslu able points as to the manner in which ami mals are killed and the quality of the mea sold by some butchers iu this city.
