tended for consumption shall be in
spected on the hoof, provided that no
meat bearing tag denoting that it
has been inspected by a United States
government inspector shall be prOhib-
tied from sale. Towns having less than
10000 inhabitants may appoint inspec-
tors whose inspection, if they be COM
peitent, may be accepted by the city
inspector or may be rejected if not
