eminent inspection would probably be
reinstated at the plant
Councilman Weishaupt said, There
will be such an agitation for govern

department will have it brought back
to Richmond. Though the department
asserts that it's appropriation for meat
inspection Is used up, it does not cost
any more to inspect the plant provided
the owner makes certain requirements,
which resulted in having it withdrawn,
than it does to inspect it in it's present
condition"
Councilman Won Pein said, every
effort to bring the government inspec-
tor here ought to be made. These
butchers are too friendly with one an
other and are apt to let things go by.

The responsibility of the enforce
