ARGUMENTS WAGE HOT FOR
AND AGAINST PROPOSED
MUNICIPAL SLAUGHTER HOUSE

What the citizens Of waterville think
OF a municipal slaughter house was
the question put before a mass meet
ing at the city council rooms last eve
ming attended by about 40 people. Ar
guments were presented from those in
terested in both sides of the question
and as the meeting went along argu-
ments began to get so strong between
at least two of the opposing parties
that Tor moment 1t looked as though
the battle might be more than one of
words. Following the meeting. which
lasted from 7.45 to 9.15, IA members
or the city government who were pres
ent were called into executive session
by Mayor Leon 0. Tebbetts, who pre-
sided at the mass meeting, and a vote
was taken. The vote was unanimous
to lay the matter on the table Reports
VIII probably be brought before the
regular meeting Of the city govern
ment next month when the matter will
be finally disposed of.
Mayor Tebbetts after calling the
meeting to order outlined briefly the
reasons why the meeting had been
called He stated that Samuel Silver
and Myer Levine had come before the
city government meeting about two
months ago and presented a PROPOSE
ton Of erecting slaughter house in
Waterville to be sanctioned by the city
authorities. Afterward the city So
licitor and DR.. William J. Young
health officer. held a conference and
drew up proposed ordinance govern
ing the Strengthening and inspection Of
meat brought into the city of Water
Vile. Mayor Tebbetts then called on
DR.. Young, who said that the proposed
ordinance was revamped from the or
dinance that was put in effect in 1915
but about 1917 was discarded as It
failed to work out satisfactorily. This
old ordinance required that meats have
the stamp of the board OF health and
he inspected by meat inspector, but
there was no examination OF the ami
NAL on the hoof The municipal gov
eminent decided to withdraw the sal
airy OF the meat inspector as there was
so much opposition to the ordinance
and up TO the time DR.. Young came to
the city after the salary Of the inspec-
tor was withdrawn very little was done
along these lines.
When DIR. Young came to the city
he saw to 1t that meats sold in the
city were in good healthy condition
and that the meat room conditions
were proper. DIR. Young said that he
had been interviewed by seven or
eight people In regard to erecting
II municipal slaughter house and
since someone has come to him TO
put up such n house the matter was
brought up.
DR.. Young stated that all meats
should be examined on the hoof.
