NEW MEAT ORDINANCE
EFFECTIVE ON MONDAY

The Board of Health ordinance pro-
viding for the sanitary handling of
meat will go into effect on Monday
Under the ordinance all meat ex-
posed for sale on the outside must be
covered with glass cases, while inside
the shops fans must keep flies from
meat, and windows and doors must
be screened. The use of disinfectant
will also be enforced.
Being a compromise between the
Board of Health and butchers who
protested against the more stringent
measure originally contemplated.
there has been little opposition by
butchers. Farmers who sell meat
from their stands and wagons will,
however, find the regulation incOn-
venient. since they have little space
for glass covers. Butchers who sell
meat from stands may have to raise
their prices to cover the expense OF
glass cases.
Executive officers of the Board OF
Health will make an inspection of the
markets on Monday TO be assured that
the ordinance is obeyed by all meat
sellers
