tract is entered into between the state
& and the Burlington Rendering company
To- the sale of condemned cattle the un.
understanding is that none of the cattle
#that pass inspection for food purposes,
Kshall be sold in Vermont. This will
2efminate whatever criticism there has
been In the past in this respect. 1t is un.
Ederstood that Cattle Commissioner Will.
|son has a contract already to be signed
Eoy Massachusetts rendering company
TO take all of the Vermont cattle when it
twas discovered that the Massachusetts
law forbid the Importation of cattle
known to be diseased into that state.
|Slace the Vermont cattle are all tested
before they are CONDEMNED it could not be
sad that they were unknown to be dis
eased' The Burlington Rendering COM
|paniy slaughtered thecattle under the old
regime and was fined and paid some
thing like $4,000 for contempt of court
l3T not showing its books at the time OF
Inc investigation. Under any new ar
frangement every item will be accounted
For and there will be no chance for criti-
ciSm so tar as the bookkeeping is con-
Eerned, The cattle will be slaughtered
under government inspection and the
same rules will apply as are observed in
'Ile slaughter houses of the west from
Wnich Vermont gets her beef and no
crltter will be passed for food-stuff or
Gamers that would not go through in
lHose houses. The cattle that do not

ne ola law 5000 cattle were slaughtered
Fld buried on the premises. The con.
lag ,ael Will be approved by the governor
