ment. Mr. Brorein was referred to the Tax Assessor and the Equa112a-
tion Board.
The 1'olJ.owing matter was read:
Mr. A. C. Nichols,
Oity Manager,.
Olearwater, Fla.
Dear Mr. Nich01s:
I have oompleted the meat survey which you reoent1r regl ested
me to make e.nd hereu report my find1.ngs end make certain recommenda-
tions~
Of the 25 meat markets contRsted by me I find a. total of 50
cattle and 120 hogs 01' the urd.nspected class are 'being so1d BJ:1d
con~med each month in the city. Should a standard inspect1.on
fee of 25~ for each beef ~d eacn hog be oharged we w~ld realize
an income of $42.50 each month to be used to he1p det"ray the ex-
penses of a meat inspector. It is my opinion that this given poss1-
bi1ity of a change ~n the ameant of un1ns~ected meats being con-
sumed afte~ the ~assage of a meat inspection ord~ance. Qp~nions
vary conside:rabl~ on 'this l'oint. I believe tat:: least 50% or
the total amount of uninspected nests now being used will be o~t
of1' with the p.ssage of a meat ~nspection ordinance. Howeve~, it
~s entire17 possible that ~ch au ordinance would inspire sone in-
dividual to ~nsta11 a slaughter h~se in or near the oity and there-
b1 stimulate a sale o~ locally raised meat as well as furnish employ-
ment for a number o~ people. ~bould t~s angle develop then the
fees would increase proportionately ~th the saJ.e of thie type o~
meat. Should the inportation of locally raised meats be sbut of1'
and a slaughter house not be bu1.1t and operated we would then face
the possibl1~ty of a raiso in prioe or all inspected meats sold by
the packers. In any event, the income from meat inspection would
fall oonsid~rably Wbort of paying the e~penses of a full time inspec-
tor. However, it may be poss1ble to insta1l a weights and measure
:inspection to be conduoted in conjunotion with the l11eat inspeotion
de];>artment. One fUJ.l time man cou1d very easily conduct both 1.n..
speet10ns. There is estimated to be 200 or more weighing scales
~n use t~'ougn~t th~ oity, ~d R small monthly test~ng fee for each
soele would of co~se heJ.p to pay an inspecto~s salary_ There was
a l'o~lar request of a1l store operators oontaoted b.Y me that 'both
meats and weights and measure i.nspection be established by th.e city.
and it may be that the eerv1.oe rendered to the store operators and
to the public at l.arge would warrant an 6%penditura by the c1.ty for
these two servioes. On th.e other hand, l.f the city does not see
fit to meet this added expense it may be ~oss1b1e to find someone
who would conduct these inspections for the fees der~ved therefrom.
. . ; ,
',\:".'
.
Moved by Itr. Batchelor, seconded by Mr. Barry and ~rr~ed that
the City Manager be author1zed to purchase second-hand scrubbers for
the Gas Plant and an additional second-hand storage t~k, ~ his desoretio~l

A fee system employee may not prove to be satisfactory for many
reasons, but mainly since the qualifications af a meat inspeotor
are so imperative the question arises in my mind whether or not
it would be possible to hire someone who was thor~~ly qualified .
to conduct these tests for the small amount of fees to be oollected.
I have attempted to state clearly the conditions as they ac-
tually exist, and hope this report will help yau to decide the
questions at issue.
