A largely attended joint meeting OF
the Pleasantville Chamber ~of Com
merce, City Council and Board of
Health was held in the City Hall Fri
day evening of last week, at which
time representatives of the Taylor
Packing Co., a large corporation en-
gagged in the packing of meats and
their various by-products, appeared
before the gathering with a PROPOSE
ton to locate their main South Jersey
plant in Pleasantville. The promoters
outlined their plans at length and sub
mitted plans Of their proposed build
ings. They willingly submitted to the
questionings of those present, and
after stating that they had secured op-
tons on a desirable site, stated, upon
being questioned, that it was located
between Lyons Court and Hampden
Court, alongside the Reading Railroad
tracks, and just above the Clark Lum-
Der Co.'s yards. They sought only the
approval Of the local Board of Health
and the cooperation of Council and
the inhabitants generally. They asked
no financial assistance whatever, and
assured their hearers that the plant
would be one of the most sanitary Of
its kind in the country, with no Often
sive odors, and would create no nui-
sance.
After going thoroughly into details,
the Chamber unanimously passed a
motion calling upon the Board of
Health to issue the necessary permit,
and upon Council to lend whatever as
sistance that might be required to
bring to an early conclusion the nee
essary preliminary arrangements.
William Hauenstein, who was pres
emf, stated on behalf of Egg Harbor
Township, in which municipality part
of the buildings are located, that the
township had no objection to the loca-
ton of the plant, and that they were
in hearty accord with the Pleasant
vile sentiment as expressed at the
meeting.
The plans as submitted call for the
erection of a $1,000 0 plant of the lat
est improved type and the very last
word in sanitation. Modern machin-
cry will be installed within the plant
for the curing of hams and the pack
ing of meats and their by-products.
The only slaughtering that will take
place in the plant will be that of hogs

cred within 40 minutes-and therefore
no offensive odors can emanate from
the buildings, as they are immediately
dressed and the meat in its entirety
consumed in the manufactured prod
uct. The blood, the only thing that is
not used, is scientifically disposed of
by a steam process.
The buildings are beautifully de-
signed, and are a triumph of the archi-
tect's art. They are of fire-proof con-
struction, and will be a beautiful addi-
ton to the immediate neighborhood in
which they are. to be located. 1t is
expected to begin the construction
work about Sept. 18th. Local contrac-
tors are to be given a chance at the
work, and will submit bids.
The plant, when completed, will give
employment to about so men and a
few office girls. This will be the COM
pany's South Jersey distributing plant,
and will greatly increase their present
output.
The Chamber also submitted to. the
Councilmen present their plan for
numbering the houses within the city
limits, and asked the cooperation Of
Council in financing the cost of secur-
ing a suitable map for same, the map
to cost approximately 800. The
Councilmen present assured the Cham
Der members that they would so CO.
operate.
The Board of Health, at a special
meeting last Monday evening, issued
the permit requested, and upon ap-
prevail by the State Board of Health,
tho Wav will hp claar tn beoin onara-
tions on the new plant.
