Xmas Jewelry S1NI1 BEEF Dr. Daniel Says City Is Dumping, Ground, Introduces Ordinance, and Row Follows. SAA A.NNAH, Dei . Hi.—The- first r^al tplit in the Davant administra- 'Hion is widening to-day. following the opposition that developed at the Council meeting Wednesday to Dr. J. W . Daniel’s ordinance to protect the city from what he termed the “dump ing ground for all the bad meat in the South.” . \\ hen Alderman Daniel drew up the bill, he had the support of a majority of the administration leaders, with whom he was closely affiliated. The one point of argument was a section that would make It necessary for all meat to l>e shipped into the city with the viscera attached, so that the In spector might determine whether it was diseased. Alderman Slater, who is an adinin- * istration man. is engaged in the meat business and handles fully 50 per cent of the beef that comes to Savannah butchered in the State. He strongly opposed it and asked tliat his Section be stricken out. instead of so doing. Alderman Dan iel amended his ordinance and made t even more rigid, by adding the amendment to prevent packers from opening cars of meat until the C!kv Inspector had bfokeh'the s^als and certified the meat. When the hill was offered in Fouri- » il Wednesday night and voted down, the charge was openly made by Al derman Daniel that lie was bucking the machine, while the other side re plied that the ordinance was intro duced to stop the importation of State-killed beef in the interest or a local packing house. The allegation was that-beef would then have to b«* shipped into Savan nah on the hoof and that the packing ompany could pay the farmer just what price it pleased, a practice that the Aldermen stated the company had been engaged in for several months.
