Advertiser Bureau,

AlhAAS tOudJ ASAACu AheAA uIttChS sh1e their slaughter houses would have to be in a good clean and sanitary condi- tion by Wednesday or they would be closed up. A member of the special committee of the Board of Health tog day said that this had been one of the results of the meeting of the Commit tee on Hygiene of the City. Council and the special committee from the Board of Health. which met in the city hall this morning.
 This meeting was attended by every member of the two different committees and the problems which confronted them were carefully gone over and ways were devised to remedy the evils which had been made known by the report Of the special committee of physicians.
 During the meeting the union sIaugh- ter house ordinance which provided for s meat and milk inspector were gone oyer thoroughly and 1t was decided t1 put the ordinance into effect immedi. ately ,or as soon as possible. Plans for this building were adopted ane bids for the erection and operating os the same will be asked for at once The ordinance provides that all cattle shall De slaughtered at this house when 1t is in operation and that the butchers or the one who is having the cattle Killed, shall pay a small fee for the same. When this law is put into ef- rect, all the filth )f the present slaugh- ter houses will be done away with and. with an inspector present, only healthy meats will be served the consumers.
 It was decided to secure the services or a competent meat inspector at once and that in the future no cattle should De Killed until 1t had been examined and pronounced in a healthy and sound condition. The matter of the election of the meat inspector has been left to the Board of Health and they will eiect no one to the position who is not thoroughly competent and who would not give the matter his close attention. The salary that will be paid to this of- fice will be regulated by the city coun- ell but until the union slaughter house has been put in operation 1t will he fixed at about s65 per month and will only take up a few hours time a day.
 The instructions which will be issued to the butchers or owners of the slaughter houses to have their places in good condition by Wednesday by Mayor Atkins, will call for some hard work upon the part of all who have slaughter houses said a member of the Health today. But while do not be- lieve that they vii be in. good con- dition by that time know that a great improvement can be made in their con dition within the next few days" he continued.
 The revelations made last night by the report of the committee from the Board of Health as to the conditions of things around the slaughter house was .he cause of great falling off in the fresh meat trade at the city market today. Before the Chicago packing house scandal the citizens were great overs of western meats. but when hAh fSa4rA A---k kfA za.A-- q hey turned to home killed meats and low that the Board of Health has Ihown up the condition of the slaughter louses here. they are not eating hardly my meat and are purchasing all of the owls they can secure. Many are be- 'onning strict vegetarians and will sub Iist upon this diet until they are as- Iured that things are in a better condi- lien.
