In the Morning Examiner OF June
26th. the following description Is CIV
en- of one of the local slaughter.
houses by AN Old Subscriber;
Here is a place where the meats
We eat are prepared. The blood from
the animals slaughtered runs through
the cracks of the floor. The entrails
arc thrown right outside the door
Un under the iloos and outside the
doorD in all ct this corrupted mat
ter. the magGots thrive by the mil.
lions The meats that arc put on
the blocks the next day in Ogden
hang In the center OF these disease
breeding surroundings, the air so foul
that 1t compels neighbors for miles
around to complain.
To complete the scene, VIC have
swarms of flies allghting on this cor
rupuon and carrying this filth onto
tho meats, and yot we wonder whero
all our sickness and disease come
from when such meats actually are
sold at some of what We call our best
meat markets in the city"
