ROTTEN Fish SOLD

From the complaints that are COM
ing in OF late from various sources. it
would seem that the inspection at the
fshmarket is not above improvement.
There is no question whatever that fish
UNIT for the table of any person Is
being sold at the market every day. A
great many people buy unthinkingly.
trusting a great deal to the vigilance
OF the inspector. The result is that
on reaching home, they find they have
been imposed upon.
This selling OF rotten fish Is done
mostly by Chinese as has ueen found
out by various purchasers during the
past three or four days. when the fish
Is returned to them with an idea of
getting the money back, they invari-
ably answer that IL has been kept
away too long for them to think OF TAX
ing 1t and that II probably became rot
ten after 1t had left the Office.
II used to be that not a rotten fish
passed over the counters but now II is
different and people are being con-
tinually inconvenienced. when Kelii-
pio was market keeper, he was wont to
pace up and down between the stalls
and upon his finding fish even the
least bit tainted, II was his habit to
see to II himself that they were thrown
away.
