JAKE ON THE CARPET.
Inspector GreenewalJ came in for a
share OF attention by the ming OF the
following charges by Henry james,
who says;
1 herewith charge Food Inspector
Jake Greenewald with using his office to
forward private Interests, using the
knowledge which he gains by virtue OF
his official position to wrongfully for
ward the interest of one party against
that of another. And / specifically
charge him with endeavoring to forward
the interest of the Mountain Ice COM
pany OF Salt Lake City against that OF
Il. James and to substantive said charge,
l represent to your honorable body.
First, That1 negotiated with the Ogden
City Brewing company to purchase
quantities of ice from them to be used in
my trade as an ice dealer in Salt Lake
city, and that had arrangements made
with tho said company to that end. The
only thing being lacking was to be as
sured that from sanitary point, the ice
could be legally marketed in Salt Lake
City.
Second. For the purpose OF obtaining
an inspection of the ice aforesaid, went
to Mr.. Greenewald requesting him to
mako an examination and analysis of
tho ice, but ho Immediately objected to
it on the ground thai it would not be
fair to ship ice from Ogden to Salt Lake
City, presumably because it would in-
terfere with other Ice mons busin ess
here. offered to pay his expenses to
stating that the expenses would be $3.50,
but afterwards only demanded $500.
Third-Mr. Greenewald went to Ogden,
brought some OF the ice back, had 1t an
alyzed and ii was found to be of excel
lent quality. He then came 10 me, mado
inquiries about my dealing with the
parties generally, and especially as to
whether was going to pay cash down
or part payment, he pr lffering advice, at
the same time urging me NOT TO make
full payment, as l now verify believe for
the purpose of aiding the Mountain Ice
company.
Fourth-After / found tho ice was
marketable, wen. to Ogden and pre-
pared to ship, and was informed that Mr..
He'll OF the Mountain Ice company was
there a day before and had made a range
ments for all of the ice. Upon returning
to Salt Lake 1 made an investigation and
learned that Mr.. Greenewald, food in
spec,or, had given the information TO
Mr. He'll Of whist he had learned while l
had him engaged.
also charge Mr.. Greenewald with in
ducing the Mountain Ice company and
their representatives to go ito Ogden to
make the purchase OF ice that l had ar
ranged for, which they did, and which
has resulted to my detriment in an
actual outlay Of money aud great dis
appointment TO my customers and con-
sequent loss to myself.
Wherefore ask that your honorable
body appoint a committee TO investigate
these charges, giving me am opportunity
OF furnishing witnesses to substantiate
the allegations set forth. and ii found
to DO true thst Mr.. Greenewald be re-
moved frsn the office of foodinspector.
Respectfully submitted,
II. JAMES,
l1a North Eighth West.
