Following Its campaign to make

Board OF Health last night heard
from the butchers of the city relative
to more stringent legislation con-
corning the sanitary handling of
meat sold at the markets of this
place. In a similar manner the
milkmen and bakers were recently
given hearings before the board.
About sixty butchers we're present
and the proposed revision of the
health code relative to the shop
keepers was generally discussed
Former Food Inspector A. j. Mikala-
1czak was present and brought up
the matter of using "Preservaline,"
which was discussed and dicounten-
anced by the board. Because of the
large attendance at the meeting 1t
was adjourned from the boards
headquarters to the council chamber
of City Hall
The following matters we're dis
cussed and taken under consdera-

ers to have glass cases in which to
keep their small cuts of meat. in
stead of exposed on the block; clos
