Dear Mr. Nicholss I have comp7.eted the meat survey which ycn� reaentTy raqzested me to make and herein report my findings and make certain reco�umenda- tions, Of the 25 meat markets contsesed by me 2 find a total of 50 ca�tle and 120 hogs of the unin�pected class are being sold an@ consumed each month in the city. Should a standarcl inspecti�n fee oi' 25¢ for each beef and each hog be eharged ere would raal�.ze an �.ncome of �42.50 each month to 'be used to help defra� the sa- penses of a meat ir�s�,ectpr, It is my opin.ion that thi:s given po;ss�.� bilit� oi' a change ir� �he amount`of uninsp9eted meats boing con- sumed ai'ter the pae�age o� a meat 3.�,spection ord3nance. Op�nions vary coneiderably on this pointa I believe �at'� least 50� of the total au�aunt of uninspected meats now being used. �rill be eti;at oif wi'�h the p�.ssage of a meat inspeetion ordinanee. Ho�rever, it is entirely possible that such an ordinanco �vould inspire some in- d:Lvidual to install a slaugh�Ger ha�zse in or near the city and there- by stiunzlate a sale af locally raised meat as well as furnish employ- men� i'or a n.umber of peaple. Should thi.s an.gla develc�p then the i'ees wauld increase �raport�onately evii�h the sale of this �ype of meat. �hrrulcl the inport�tiqn oi loca3ly raised mea�s be sLrat of� rtind a slaughter hau.=.�e no� ha built and operate� we would then i'ace the poasibility o� a raise in �rice of all inspected meats so3d by the packers. In an.y event, the 3.x�come from mea.t inspectioa �rould fa11 ccsnsi der�bly short of paying tla.e expenses oi a ftia.11 time i:nsgec- tor. IIovrever, it may be possible to instalZ a weights end measure inapeLtion �o be c�nduc�ed in conjlanction with the meat insp�cti�n department. One fu].3. �time man eauld very eas3ly conduct both 3n� spectionse There is estimatsd to be 200 or more wei�hi.ng scales in use throughaut the aity, and a small mor_thlg testing fee for ea�3�. soale would of cotiu se help to pay an inspect�rs sa].ary. There was �. �opalar request of all store operators contacted bg me that both meats and weights and measure inspection be estal�lishsd by the city, and it may be that the service rendered to the store operators aud to the public at large would warrant an expenditure by �he citp for these ttivc serv3ces, On t$e other hand� 3.f �he city does nat see �i� to maet this a�ded exper_se 3t may be possib7.8 �o find someone who tivould condv.et these inspections ior the fees derived therefrom. i � � �3 � A fes sys�em Pt+�ploy�ae ma� no�t prove to be sA�3s�'actory for many reasons, but tiainly ainca the quali�'ications of a �neat inspec�or are so iiuperative the question, ar3.aes in my ad.nd �vhother or not it would be posaibl.e to hi.re somoone wlzo was thorou�h,ly qual:Lfiod to conduct ihese taets for �he smal� amcntnt o� fees to be coll.ectad.
