MEAT INSPECTION
DEPENDS UPON THE

CITY HEALTH OFFICER
ADVISES PROMPT ACTION.
Few Cities Will Have Such Op.
portunity to Secure ProteC.

Milk Inspection.

The United States government has
consented to provide inspectors for
the inspection of all meat slaughtered
in Richmond. This statement was
made Monday evening at council by
city health officer. DR.. C. S. Bond, after
an ordinance providing for the inspec-
tion of meat slaughtered in this city
had been introduced and referred to
the ordinance committee.
responding with the secretary of agri-
culture for some time and that the gov
ernment had consented TO provide one
or two inspectors for this city provid-
ing the government rules and regula-
tions. such as relate to the method of
slaughtering and inspecting. the re-
quired slaughtering floors, etc, were
observed.
Advises Prompt Action.
DR.. Bond stated that the least num-
ber of saughtering floors possible
would be the most satisfactory ar
rangement to the government and he
thought the council should take prompt
action on the ordinance. which pro-
yides for only one general slaughter
ing floor. as the government has only a
limited appropriation to use for mu-
nicipal inspection of meat. The first
cities that apply for government in
spection probably will be the first to
be accommodated said DR.. Bond.
Would Be Distinction.
DIR. Bond stated that if Richmond Sc
cured government inspection of al
meat slaughtered here it would be the
only city in this part of the country tC
secure this service from Uncle Sam
DR.. Bond said that Indianapolis hac
