 Dr Botsford- claimed that the To- cal supervision of slaughtering is lax in that no representative of the milk and food inspection staff is on hand when every animal is killed. Dr Keeley denied this to- day, when interviewed. He said that when every animal is killed either he OF his assistant, Inspec- tor Terrence Coughian, is on hand to inspect the meat. If animals are killed in adjacent towns, such as watertown, he added. 1t is re- quired that the bodies of the ani- mals be kept intact until either Dr Keeley or MT Coughlan have seen them so as to prevent any al. legged cleverness on the part of butchers in "doctoring" up dis eased meat.
 Hartford's attack on the Water- bury method of protecting people from diseased meat was resented here to-day and it is expected that after the formal letter from the Hartford health department is re- ceived a more lengthy answer will be forthcoming from the local officials.

 To-day a hearing took place in Hartford before Referee Isaac Wolfe. and decision was reserved. The hearing was to determine whether an injunction requiring the association to keep open the approach to the beach should be made permanent or dissolved.
 The Temporary injunction against the association was issued almost two years ago. The association, at, that time, had erected a gate across a 11lfoot strip which had been used to reach the beach for years. The group opposing the closing of the passageway, includ- ing the local petitioner. claims that the passageway In question had been used since 1898.
 It is claimed by the people whose cottages are on the hilltop north of the beach that the ex- tended use of the passageway amounted to dedicatoin for pub- lie use. Others in the group op- posing the association's move in- clude residents from all parts of Connecticut.
