Editor Evening Telegram:
Dear Sir-There is a matter which
think should be brought before the
public and / think your paper is the
best medium.
There is an ordinance which pro-
vides that all vegetables and meats
should be screened. In most cases
this has been observed.
This is mighty good law but it
only goes half way.
There are six markets in the city
where meats can be purchased and
only one where the management
takes proper methods for the protec-
tion of his meat.
have been in all these stores and
with this exception l have found
quantities of meat laying out on the
meat blocks.
/ purposely visited two stores at
intervals of an hour apart and found
the same meat still laying outside
the icebox.
What is the use of having a
screening law if meat is allowed to
stay outside in this hot weather to
become tainted.
/ purchased piece of meat in the
city and had to throw it away.
l left my order for the meat to be
put up for me, and from the time I
called for it to the time / reached
home was just half an hour.
This was in the evening and the
meat certainly was spoiled before I
took it from the store. / did not
know 1t at the time as the meat was
wrapped up.
Without exception all these stores
use wooden tables and these are al
ways blood soaked. OF course a
wooden chopping block is necessary
but either porcelain or some other
|impenetrable material should be
used for show purposes, and only
cured meats should be allowed to
stay outside the icebox for show.
In the State of New York there is
law against this, and even in the
dead of winter a butcher is not al
lowed to leave a piece of meat ex-
posed for five minutes, under pen
atty of a heavy fine.
After piece is finished with, IL
MUST be put back into the icebox.
If there is a law like that in a
place where the weather is often be-
low ezro, there certainly should be
one here, especially in the summer

-
There is another matter when
should be looked into, and that Il IN
the matter OF clean scales.
Most of the stores have scales
which are very easily cleaned, hay-
ing weighing pans OF enamel. There
are several storesowhere have seen
the pans of the scales stained with
blood and small scraps Of meat, and
a customers meat has been weighed
without the scales either being
washed on or even covered with pa
per.
These conditions are a deliberate
invitation to disease, and the health
officer should be instructed to see
that meat stores exercise proper
measures to protect the public.
Incidentally the man with the
clean sanitary store will have the
largest amount of trade.
Hoping that you will give these
words space in your paper I remain
Sincerely yours,
A RESIDENT.
