THIRD MEETING CHAMBER OF ~
COMMERCE ON INSPECTION OF
MEAT IN CITY OF WATERv|LLE

The third meeting Of the Waterville
Chamber of Commerce on the meat
inspection question was held at the
city government rooms Thursday eve
ming.
The meeting was called to order by
Frank j. Goodridge in the absence OF
the president and vice president. He
said that DR.. L. K. Greene of Auburn
and DR.. H. P. B. Jervis Of Houlton
were unable to be present and called
on DR.. Archille Jolly.
DR.. Jolly, after reading the kilograms
Of regret, proceeded to discuss meat
inspection in Waterville. DR.. Jolly said
that he believed thoroughly in meat
inspection but criticized the newly in
augurated system on two grounds:
First, because 1t was not sanitary;
and second, it was not business like.
He said he regretted that members of
the Board Of Health had refused to
meet with the business men OF the
city.
He read a section from the code in
regard to the rules for slaughtering
and asked: why should we have one
rule for meat slaughter within the
CITY anu duOtIlcI rue Aoi A1CaS StoA6A
ter without the city,"
He said that some of the provisions
of the code were humorous, citing
Section 40, which provides that the
inspector shall be a veterinarian who
is graduate Of school Of veterinary
medicine with power to confer degrees
or who passes an examination by the
Board Of Health. DR.. Jolly could not
see how the board was competent to
conduct such an examination.
Dr. Baird was next called upon 1T il
impossible to have proper meat tnspec
ton unless you have a public abattoir.'
He congratulated the Board Of Health OF
the step in advance which had beer
taken, but felt disposed to criticize thu
board for not being willing to get to
gether on the proposition.
Zone Of the board addressed the ladie
the other night, but that does not appea
to me.
This meat code is too big, too heav!
for city like Waterville. 1t has 10
of articles. but leaves out the vital par
OF meat inspection, the examination o
the Emphatic glands Of the freshl!
killed animal.
Mr. Goodridge regretted that it ha'
been impossible to get only one membe
Of the Board Of Health present. He call
ed on John Fardy OF the Board o

Health.
Mr. Fardy said that the treasurer Of
the board had said that what he had
to say he had said in the code. He said
that DR.. Stewart was getting no pay for
his work as inspector but was turning
his fees in to the city.
WELL Mr.. Fardy, on behalf Of the
Chamber of Commerce I want to thank
you for being man enough to come" said
Chairman Goodridge.
Dr. j. Frederick Hill said he could not
see that the inspection as made amounted
to much. 1T certainly does work a hard
ship on the merchants and the farmers.
There is none of us but wants meat in
spection, but I cannot see how a post
mortem examination is of any great
value"
S. E. Whitcomb told Of q man iv-
| ing near Mercer who called up and
said he had some pigs to market
When told that they would have to be
inspected, he did not want to pay the
| fee, took his pigs to Norridgewock
and said he was surprised to learn
| that he could buy his grain in Nor
| ridgewock as cheaply as in Waterville.
I'VE are in a cage as it is now
! he said. He believed that the 20-cent
| fee was one of the chief objections.
| George Gates of East Nassalboro
said that he lad talked the matter
| over with DR.. Fish. He asked why the
Vassalboro inspector for the Boston
| market could not also inspect the meat
| coming to Waterville.
| Harry Silver of the firm Of Silver
Bros, butchers, tcld his troubles in
! trying to make an appointment with
| the inspector. Others who took part in
the discussion were Leo Lambert, Sam
| Silver and Elmer Smith.
Frank E. McCallum said that he
was not receiving as much local meat
as before the code was adopted, but
that the season had something to do
| with it.
S. E. Whitcomb moved that the
| Chamber Of Commerce try to secure
DR.. Greene and DR.. Jervis at some
future meeting and that an effort be
made to secure the presence of the
Board Of Health and the farmers. The
motion prevailed
Dr. ]. Frederick Hill moved that q
| committee be appointed to confer with
| the city government, but withdrew
the motion pending the holding of the
proposed meeting and the session was
adjourned.
