ed by the Massachusetts authorities that
until the supreme court of that state
determines the status of the new law re-

of carcasses of animals which have been
slaughtered in other states for shipment
to the Massachusetts market. neither the
city board of Boston nor the state board
will concern themselves in the enforce
ment of the law or enter prosecutions
