dustry Makes His Report
to President.

tary conditions.
Praises Inspection Results.
From personal observation know that
sanitary conditions at abbattoirs where
this bureau maintains inspection, while
not always satisfactory. are much supe-
rior to those at the average establish
ment without such inspection"
Further. he says he knows that many
diseased animals arc not shipped TO mar
ket centers where inspection is main
tained. He advises the most rapid ex-
tension OF the inspection possible and SAYS
the demand for inspection is much
greater than can be supplied.
Sights Are Repulsive.
ct might be well to state" he says.
that In any slaughter house, no matter
how sanitary the conditions may be,
there is much that is revolving TO one not
accustomed to such sights, and one who
visits them must expect to witness scenes
of blood and offal and to have his nos
trils offended by sagreeable odors as
we'll as TO see finely dressed beef and
mutton and tempting hams and bacon"
VIII Remedy the Evils.
He says the report OF the committee of
three officials of the department Is fully
approved by the bureau or animal indus
try, and that wherever weakness in the
system of inspection has been indicated
steps Will at once be taken to remedy
the conditions. He says he shall obey the
order of the secretary that when pro-
prietors refuse to place their premises In
a sanitary condition he will withdraw the
inspection. The report OF the committee
