The following. taken from page 50
of the Chicago Health DeDsr tment
annual report for 1905, issued In 1907,
speaks for itself:
I'm addition to this the inspectors
at the Union Stock Yards have de.
strOycd 637,37S pounds Of cut meats.
Most Of this was returned from the
various branch houses or was confined
In the sausage rooms Of the large
packing houses, where 1t was being
made into sausage. The principal
cause for condemnation was decOm.
position. Most of this meat Is either
sour or Shiny or in some cases even
putrld."
And In the face OF these facts, city
inspectors have been withdrawn from
the "large packing houses"
What interest derives the greatest
benefit from the sewerage system ot
Chicago? The packing interest. OF
course. 1t pours perfect ocean Of
filth into the sewers leading to the
south branch Of the river. Why was
the great 30th street sewer built at a
cost to the people of millions Of dol.
lars? It was built to relieve the South
Branch of filth from the packing
houses. And yet the packing interests
have not paid that twenty millions Of
back taxes into the peoples treasury
and evidently do not intend to pay up.
The Beef Trust certainly looks upon
the people as lot of serfs. 1t raises
the price of food upon them with I'M
punity and fixes it's taxes to suits It.
self. San Francisco graft was not a
circumstance to this.
