is absolutely necessary that the process
should be short and quick SO as not TO al
low il to escape. But IN this respect Mr..
BlacKinton 9 report is not only hearsay
but again touches on Il matter which ncr-
tains TO the duties OF the sanitary inspect
or and not to those 1f the meat ins pecto
We believe that If your honorable body
will inquire of the sanitary inspector, in
stead of taking the meat inspectors word
Tor what the sanitary inspector thinks,
you will find that VIC have not disobeyed
the iniunctions of the sanitary Inspector,
and are in no manner in default.
Your honorable body will bear in
mind that the packing compxny's plant is
located on tie bank of the river IN dis
trict given up to manufacturing enter
prises. aud not thlckly populated. And
you sentlemsn Will know, of your. own
knowledge that nsither the health nor
the comfort Of the city IN general is
affected by the packing house as now To-
Gated and conducted.
We submit herewith testimonial
signed by the leading business men OF
this city, whose business frequently
brings them to our plant, and VITO GER
tify that the conditions in and about the
packing house are clean and free from
uffense. and that it is Ms pleasant to do
business AT our plant as at any plant in
the city. These gentlemen are all we'll
known and their veracity is unques ton
able.
We submit also certificate from prac-
tlcally all the residentsln the neig bor-
hood, and in the immediate vicinity of
the packing house, stating that the con-
ditions in and about the packing house
are in no manner offensive to them or to
their families. and that the health of
themselves and their families is I'M
affected thereby.
The 135 people on our payroll are of
item selves n refutation of the charge
mat the conditions around the packing
house are unsanitary. We doubt whether
an equal number OF men, boys and girls
can be found whoss physique and whose
general health is superior TO that OF our
employees.
Now, Inder these conditions. and
under these testimonials, VINO ia there
that is making this violent complaint
against the packing house and what is
the cause back of it all?
The Cudahy Packing company has
neen prosecuted heretofore its manager
has been arrested upon a charge of vio-
latlng the ordinance to which we have
hereinahove referred. After full and
fair trial, an a full consideration of the
case, Judge Owens dismissed the charge
and used the following language in his
opinion: The undisputed evidence
shows, etc. that the slaugh tering and
packing is carried on by said company
(the Cudahy Packing company in the
most modern MANNER and in such
way as not to create nuisance ETC.,
ana further holds that its process of cur
ing meat, to-wit, the iefrigerating pro-
cess, is the most modern, most scientific
and best proce IS for such purpose muse.
In conclusion We wouId suggest that
the business of the Cudahy Packing COM
pany is OF such general benefit to the city
and to this part OF the state that so long
itao rr-,t nIf m
require m ents OF the law and uses its best
endeavors to carry on its busir ess in
conformity thereto, it should not be
driven IL apply 10 the court for radress
against wantun assaults upon its bust
ness under the guise of Official reports by
petty officers. whose reports show on their
face ignorance, malice or vain desire
for notnriety but should be privileged to
ask your honorable body to Instruct its
suoOrdinatos to pros ecute their investiga-
tons in spirit OF fairness and justice.
not only to the public, but also to the
parties interested, and to cndeavor to cor
rect public abuses, if any suCh5there be,
by such suggestions, notices ana hearings
as will protect, rather than persecute, de-
serving industries.
