MEAT INSPECTORS
Matter Will Be Taken Up By New Ad-
ninistration

AS soon as the rush of Mardi Gras is over
Mayor Drennen will take up the matter of
providing for meat inspection.
When the new charter was framed a
clause was inserted in it providing for meat
inspectors and since then the question has
been agitated among the butchers.
Yesterday afternoon Ernest Peterman,
who is engaged in the meat business, called
on Mayor Drennen and talked the matter
over. Mr.. Peterman is an applicant for a
position as inspector if the city council acts
favorably on the question.
He says that there should be at least two
inspectors. The fees charged butchers and
packers for the work would pay the ex-
penges of the office.
Mr.. Drennen told Mr.. Peterman that If
the butchers and the people wanted in
spectors he would use his influence to have
the system established. He believed that
the market committee should have the nam
ing of the inspectors because the members
are more closely allied with this line of
business.

him unconscious. He was taken across the
street to the Adams Drug store and DR..
Barclay summoned. Nothing could be done
for the unfortunate man at the time. An
ambulance was ordered and he was taken
to his home in Twentieth street.
Drs. Barclay and Copeland did everything
possible for him, but at last accounts he
was still unconscious. The physicians
stated last night that though his condition
was serious, they did not think it necessari-
ly fatal.
Some repair work is being done on the
front of the building In which the Peerless
saloon is located and a rope was stretched
across the sidewalks to prevent any pos
sioe injury to pedestrians. Barney did not
see the rope, which was very near to the
paving and ran against 1t.
