Meat Inspection
Act Now In Effect
On another page of this issue
of the News is printed the new
City Ordinance providing for the
inspection of meat offered for sale
within the city limits of Bowie
and ^providing for penalties fol-
violation of- same.
The new City meat inspection
ordinance was worked out and
adopted by the city officials after
several edrtferences between in-
terested citizens, meat dealers
and representatives of the Cham-
ber of ■ Commerce, after it had
been reported unsafe meat had
been killed and offered for sale
here.
The new ordinance “prohibits
the offering for sale of any meat
of cattle, calf, - sheep,,,swine or
goat which does not have on the
primal part of it the meat in-
spection brand or mark of ap-
proval as inspected and passed by
the City of Bowie or of bhe-U. S.
Department of Agriculture.”
The ordinance alsd prescribes
jn detail the kind of buildings and
equipment and protection against
flies, disease or other contamina-
tion, ttiat must be provided where
SUCtfanimals arc slaughtered.
A letter from an official of the
State Health Department has
written that after studying a copy
of the ordinance it appears to
cover the needs here and had no
suggestions or criticism to offer.
8789 will sponsor
the soft-baYl league this year.
Four teams, Conoco, V? F. W.
Nu-Enamel and Lions, have al-
ready signed up, but any team
that wishes to play should get
their application in so that ar-
rangements may be made and the
schedules worked.opt before the
end of Apnil. Any one desiring
information or an application
contra t William V. Scott at’the
Post Office.
