BAKERY LICENSE REVOKED.
State Commission Closes Dubuque
Shop When Found Unsanitary.

State Commission Closes Dubuque
Shop When Found Unsanitary.
Dubuque, Aug. 1s.-According to an
announcement made by the state dairy
and food commission, the license OF 81
Shuchat, a baker Of this city, has been
revoked.
The reason given for this action was
! that the inspectors, Bittner and Steph-
enson, who recently visited Dubuque
reported the Shuchat shop was very
| unsanitary. The action of revoking
the license was taken by w. B. Bar
ney, state pure food commissioner.
The same announcement stated that
there would very likely be other bak-
ers In Dubuque who would have their
licenses revoked in the near future, II
on second visit the inspectors found
their shops had not been cleaned up,
! and some provisions made for the
making Of their products under more
sanitary conditions.
The inspectors visited several other
bakery shops while here. and reported
to their chief that several We're quite
negligent in keeping their places SAM
tary. The chief. it would appear. has
instructed them to revoke license on
their next official visit if conditions
described in :: cir first report have not
been bettered.
Because of this drastic action taken
by the inspectors it Is thought the
other bakers IN the city. big and small,
will get busy at once and have their
shops mod els Of sanitation in the very
near future, So as not to run the risk
of having their licenses revoked.
