In new business for the year soon to be taken UP
by Dr. Emery OF the Health Department. is the ap-
plicaon of Henry Bosse. Of Flatlands. who Is
anxious to construct slaughter-house in which he
will kill horses to be shipped France and Bel

the chemist when yesterday by Tribune re-
porter said that it would be unfair to speak of the
slaughter house Bosses business just now.
'He has" said the chemist made application 10
the Commissioner for permission to carry on his
business which. with the anne xation OF the former
town of Flatlands. has come under our supervision.
DR.. Emery did not act Immediately upon the appli-
cation for the reason that he had not been reap
pointed at that time. We certain that the
statement OF Bosse TO the effect that none OF his
horseflesh Is consumed in this part OF the country
is true. And furthermore. cow meat is much
cheaper and in fact tender in comparison with the
flesh OF animals slaughtered out in the New Lots
Road Place. While there is no law against Bosses
pure. there be no danger in its consumption
Some people have been led to believe that horses
suffering from ganders have been disposed OF by
Bosse but this is not true, there Is a State law
which provides that ranging from so to $50
shall De paid for each horse suffering with the dis
ease that is condemned by the State Veterinary
When the owner OF a horse communicates the fact
that his animal is suffering from the disease. II IL
inspected once. and the Bergh Society is In
formed. A certificate Is then sent TO Albany and
the money IL transmitted to the owner. Now, as a
matter of fact. Bosse pays only s. for each horse
brought to his place and 1t can be readily seen
that more money is to be realized upon diseased
horse through observing the law than by doing
business with Bosse in this respect"
Since he flied his application, Bosse has paid q
number of visits TO the offices OF the Health De-
parment in Clinton-st. He is exceedingly anxious
10 have the question settled to whether or not
he will be permitted TO continue his horse-killing
and sausage-making In the future:
His place at Flatlands has often been described az
containing miniature rivers of blood and tons and
tons OF horsefesh which are salted and packed
be killed there every twenty-four hours. In the
past the business has been under the supervision
its uncieenliness has been under their observation.

In addition TO Bosses application the Department
a,sn has one from a man named Renard, who has
been conducting place similar to Bosses at Wood
haven He is anxious to locate In the city. where
he proposes to start large business Renard Is
broker and represents several Western horsefesh
concerns.
The chemists. under the direction OF DIR. Emery
have been diligently working for the suppression OF
irlpure milk They have within few months
succeeded in wipng. out what seemed to be an
organized band OF IT, l.ans who sold adulterated
milk in large quantities. Upon tests made in the
laboratory the top floor Of the Departments
