CITY ABATT0|R IS
NOW PROPOSED
All the Meats Sold in Salt
Lake City Would Pass
Through 1t.
CITY FOOD INSPECTOR
FRAZIER IS AT WORK
City Abattoir, 1t Is Claimed,
Will Minimize Expense
of Inspection.

There is movement on foot. in con-
meats, 10 establish city abattoir
through which all the meats not already
subjected to inspection would have to
pass before going TO the market.
City Food Inspector Walter j, Fra.
zier is the prime mover of the cstab-
lishment OF a city abattoir, and Assist
ant City Attorney p T. DAILY, who
drafted tho proposed meat inspection
bill. is Il strong advocate of 1t, and IL
is likely that the matter will receive
some consideration by the council san
itary committee tonight.
When federal inspection was sug
gestcd, one of the first stumbling blocks
TO present itself was the securing of in
spectors for the smaller slaughter
seven slaughter pens scattered about
the city. possibly, only two had suffi
eient business TO Justify federal inspcc-
tlon.
To secure federal inspection it would
bc necessary for the rest of these pens
10 establish a Joint killing place, which
might result in bad combinations and
possibly increase tho price Of meat, it.
was feared, aud TO obyiate this tho
meat inspection ordinance was built TO
provide federal inspection for places
with business TO Justify it and TO crc-
ate municipal system of inspection for
the smaller butcheries.
Tho establishment of municipal
system of inspection will create consid-
cradle expense, If is said, which the
abattoir. its advocates declare, will
minimize, With the establishment of Il
city abattoir the smaller consumers
would be compelled to do all their kill
ing there, under a system of federal lu-
spection, too, rs the combined business
would be sufficient TO Justify the gov
crpment in furnishing inspectors, and
tho abattor would practically do away
with much of the labor of the munici
pal system of inspection, as there would
be not so much use for it, and at the
same time g i've the consumers the sat
isfaction of knowing that they were
getting pure meat,
Some of the meat men, of course, arc
opposed to the abatioir, few going so
far as to declare the establishing of one
unconstitutional, but Mr.. Daily says he
finds nothing in the statutes to that eff
feet, although he bas not made thor
ough search of them. ''Othcr cities
no larger than Salt Lake City have
