AS result of an inspection of the i,
1nly slaughter house in Houlton by
IN agent of the department of asri-
culture. and the alleged unsanitarE
which he found there, local
butchers have received notification
rom the government that their IL
lenses to ship meat into Massaehu
,etts were revoked. The matter is
me which is causing much comment
iere. While there seems to be some ,
prospect that the price of meat may
Re lower in Houlton, than it has been
n the past, there is general feel
ng that meat which is not good
nough for the Massachusetts market
S not good enough for home con- :
There is demand, in some
luarters, that the local board of health
make an investigation of the condi-
ions at the slaughter house and take I
such action as shall be warranted By
he facts.
