Appropriate Funds for Meat inspection
Vote Sewage
Legislation
Over Veto

With twenty pieces of legisla-
tiOn confronting them at the reg,
uAar meeting Monday night,
council members ~aded through
in record time under the capable
guidance of President of COun-
Gil Conner.
One of the more important
items of business was the pass
ing over Mayor Glenn Wright's
veto of the sewage disposal or
dinance by unanimous vote.
A.Councilman Stare, stated: II
have two thoughts in mind, the
relief crisis Newark is facing,
and that rapidly growing New
ark, needs sewers. AS long as
we do not signify our intention
- building a sewage disposal
plant the WPA authorities and
the board of health will not per.
naiA the building of sanitary
sewers. If this ordinance is
passed, it is possible the projects
will be released and the direct re-
lief load in Newark considerably
hghtened this winter"
No mention was made of the
recent petitions filed by the
&ewark Federation of Labor,
containing 1900 signatures, call
ing for a referendum in the mat
ter.
With at least sixty persons
present in the council chambers,
mostly interested in the outcome
of the meat inspection ordinance
es which had gone through first
readings at previous special
sessAn called for that purpose,
considerable debate was expect
ed.
e The tension was considerably
fel eved when evidently accord
ing to pre-arrangement, the
council took the dynamite out by
voting down both meat inspec-
tion ordinances by unanimous
action.
However, legislation was pass
ed, appropriating money from
the general fund for the purpose
of paying the salary of a meat
Inspector until the first Of the
year. The Newark Board of
Health had already passed
rhing requiring meat inspection
and their power supersedes that
r@0f council in matters of that ma
ture.
