/ Meat Commission as petitioned for by
the chairman of that body.
Rep. Richards said that if the Com
mission had not taken interest enough
in the matter to be able to get up re-
port inside OF eight months they should
be given no further time.
Rep. Rycroft was OF the opinion that
il would do no harm TO give the Com
mission extra time.

have been made against the butchers.
The Commission has had eight months
during which to investigate the matter.
They have done so, but have found
nothing upon which TO report. There
fore they take this mode of getting out
Of 1t. l move that the whole matter be
indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Rycroft-If there is anything
wrong about the meat business, the
meat men would be the first to choke
the matter Off
Rep. Winston Gnterrupting) - The
meat men have no desire to choke of
anything.
Rep. Rycroft-Well, now, sir, that is
just what your motion would lead one
TO believe.
Rep. Winston-WeH, then, appoint
another commission.

guilty that 1 did not introduce a bill
providing for an official to inspect food
consumed by the public" The speaker
then referred in particular to the gro
