MUNICIPAL SLA UGHTER PEN PROPOSED IN PHILADELPHIA By Private Leased Wire. I Philadelphia, June 1.—Revelations of the revolting conditions existing lA the majority of 171 slaughter houses In this city haa led Dr. A. C. Abbott, chief of the bureau of health, to for mulate a plan for the abolition of the filthy dene by the establishment of a municipal ownership slaughter house. This plan will be submitted to Mayor Weaver and councils, and, It Is un derstood, has their approval. Recent Investigation by the meat In spectors In the employ of tho bureau of health have revealed the existence of conditions which ara said to be al most aa bad as those exposed by Pres ident Roosevelt’s commission. The In spectors found csttle and sheep being slaughtered In private dwellings. In one place, they found carcasses of ateora and sheep lying on the floor of a refuse littered cellar. In an alarming number of places, they found diseased meat, the majority of which was tubercular. Private stalls were found to be a favorite place for slaughtering. Incredible filth abounds. Those revelations have led Dr. Ab bott to the conclusion that the only real and permanent rmtUffW tbe ' ’ate slaughter house evil Is tho ea- isnment of a centrally located slaughter house owned by tho city. “Much slaughter houses are operated In eltlss of Germany,’’ he said, “and they ara operated with success. Train ed veterinarians examine every animal after It Is killed, and If there Is the •lightest trace of disease the meat Is thrown out.” GIRL SHVED EITHER WHEN ROM MV MISS JULIENNE PACE, WHO WILL GRADUATE FROM 0.
