BAD SAUSAGE
In The MARKET


That decayed sausage is being sold
in this city now seems beyond a doubt
and as the fact has come to the atten-
tion Of the Board of Health il is more
than probable than an investigation
win be inaugurated by them although
nothing in this direction was done at
the regular meeting Of the board yes
terday.
II was stated at the board meeting
that a barrel OF deceyed lamb had
been found in one factory that was to
be put into sausage The meat was
Shiny and had been sold to the pro-
prietor for the purpose of making sau-
sage. He told an inquisitor it was
meat that had not been delivered to
his customer and returned. but an
emplcye OF the place said it was sold
TO him by one of the big meat houses
and was to be washed Off, put in cold
storage and frozen and later cut up
into sausage.
Much bad meat has been found about
the city in the shape of bad sausage
which IS undoubtedly made here. In
the private factories more than IN the
larger houses it is thought the tainted
meat is used An investigation would
by those who know something about
the local conditions no doubt
reveal little Jungle" right at home.

The origin Of the eight days FESTIVAL
