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
VIC eat are prepared. The blood from
the animals slaughtered runs through
the cracks Of the floor. The entrails
are thrown right outside the door.
lin under the floor and outside the
door, in all of this corrupted mat
ter. the maggots thrive by the mil
lions. The meats that are put on
the blocks the next day in Ogden
hang in the center of these disease
breeding surroundings, the air so foul
that IL conpels neighborS for miles
around TO complain.
ITO complete the scene, we have
swarms OF flies alightlng on this cor
ruption and carrying this filth onto
the meats. and yet we wonder where
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"
