DATING INSPECTION
OF MEAT IS
URGED
Second Hearing on. Proposed
Ordinance Results in Dis
, . 1 pute Over Cold Storage.
IMPROPER MOTIVES HINTED
Small Packers Allege Measure Is In
tended to Benefit Beef Trust and '
HealtU Bureau Officials
Guard Against Jokers. -
The second public hearing oa the
proposed new meat ordinance held yes
terday at the City Hall by the Council,
simmered down to a fuss over the ques
tion of stamping of meat with the date
of inspection, and the question of
whether cold storage meat deteriorates.
"With attorneys representing small
packers on the one side and officials of
the health bureau on the other these
questions were argued hotly for close
to an hour, the arguments on the two
.sides being punctuated by personal!
ties and indirect charges of improper
motives.
Dan J. Malarkey on the one side in
sisted that the ordinance was promoted
for the primary Interest and benefit
of the beef trust. The other aide con
tended that certain amendments which
Mr. Malarkey interposed bore the ear
marks of jokers calculated to make the
ordinance ineffective.
Ordinance to Be Redrafted.
After the discussion the commission
referred the ordinance to City Attorney
LaRoche for redrafting. It will be
dressed up and brought back for a
third round at some later date.
. At the beginning of the meeting a
number of amendments suggested by
City -Attorney LaRocha to bolster up
the legal side of the measure were read
and discussed. N. G. Hedin took ex
ception to. the provision for a series of
inspection booths and inspection at the
butcher shops of farm killed meats. He
said there should be several booths
established where farmers could take
their meat for inspection without being
troubled with calling for an inspector
upon delivering the meat to a butcher
shop.
A provision for the exception of meat
kept for private use in butcher shops
was cut out by Mr. LaRoche because
he said this would act as a joker in
defeating the aims of the measure.
' Stamping; Date Trs;ed. '
Mr. Malarkey and John F. Logan in
sistent that there be included in the
ordinance a provision that will require
packers to stamp meat with the- date
of inspection as well as with the stamp
of approval or condemnation after in
spection. "I believe," said Mr. Malarkey, "that
people are just as anxious to know
when a piece of meat was inspected and
passed by an inspector as they are to
know that it was in good condition
when it was passed. In other words
why should we not know that meat
offered us was inspected in 1905, if that
is the case. This amendment is aimed
to apprise people of the fact that they
are getting cold storage meat. This I
believe is as important as any other j
part of the inspection." ' . i
"The inspection mark on a piece of
meat indicates its condition upon in
spection," said Meat Inspector Stickney.
"cold storage meat is no worse than
any other."
Deterioration la Denied.
"Do you mean to say that meat in
cold storage does not deteriorate?" in
quired Mr., Logan.
"I do," replied Dr. Stickney. "If meat
in cold storage in kept at an even tem
perature. It will not deteriorate. If
the temperature changes the meat will
spoil."
"This is a proposition being urged in
the interest of the Union Meat Com
pany," declared Mr. Malarkey.
"It Is not," retorted Dr. Stickney.
Commissioner Daly declared that he
feared the amendment proposed by Mr.
Malarkey might be a joker because it
might cause the measure to be thrown
in conflict with the Federal laws. Mr.'
Malarkey and Mr. Logan declared that
there was no possibility of this, it being
the aim to make known the cold
storage meat wherever sold.
Mr. Malarkey asked that the Com
mission incorporate In the measure pro.
vision that the inspectors be placed
under Civil Service so as to keep the
service out of politics. This question
will be considered at the next meeting.

DEPOT PLAN INDORSED
EAST SIDES BCSISiBSS MEN AGREE
TO BACK TEMPORARY STATION.
North Bank Will Erect Structure South
of Belmont Street as Soon as Permit
Is Granted fey City.
The Spokane. Portland & Seattle Rail
way will erect a temporary freight
house on the company's property south
of Belmont street, between Third street
and Union avenue, as soon as the city
grants permission. President Gilmore
and Traffic Manager Skinner held a
Ionic conference with the H.ast feiae
Business Men's Club and representa
tives of East Side shippers Thursday
night at the rooms of the club, after
which" the club decided to recommend
to the City Commissioners that a ,re-
vokable permit be issued to tne rail
road company for the erection of the
temporary freight-house, with the con
dition that the permanent freight build
ing be built within two years.
President Gilman said that It would
be impossible to erect the permanent
freight depot at present on the East
Side, as condemnation proceedings for
part of the site will not be settled for
some time. He said further that the
location of the permanent freight
house on Union avenue and East Morri
son street is not considered the best
for the purpose, as it Is detached from
the freight yards by Belmont street.
and intimated that when built it would
probably be built in the freight yards.
Erection of the temporary freight depot
will permit the handling at once of
less than -carload lots.
City Commissioner Bigelow, C. U.
Carpenter and others were inclined to
insist that the railroad company put
up its permanent freight-house now,
but finally consented to recommend the
permit for the temporary building in
order that shippers may get the benefit
of shipping and receiving less than car
load lots on the further consideration
that the main building is to be built
inside of two years. A number of lead
ing shippers attended the conference
from tho East Side warehouse district.
The temporary freight-house probably
will be built on East Third street just
south of Belmont, near where the com
pany has its freight depot In a boxcar.
The club adopted resolutions urging
the City Commissioners to vacate East
Stark street to facilitate the erection
of the East Side public dock, which
may be done under the Zelgler amend
ment.-

MR. EVANS WANTS CHANGE
Plans Drawn to Give Deputies Con
sultation Rooms.
Plans for altering the offices occu
pied by District Attorney Evans and
his deputies to provide a private con
sultation room for each of the deputies
were submitted to the County Commis

architects, and referred by the Commis
sioners to Mr. Evans for his recommen
dations. At present none of the deputies ex
cept Mr. Maguire has a private room
to interview witnesses or hold a private
conference. The plans submitted by the
architects provide for an eight-foot
corridor constructed inside the general
corridor on the sixth floor, with a door
opening into each department.
Three of the deputies have their of
fice In room 675, disconnected from tha
main offices. This arrangement will
provide for 10 private offices for the
deputies, one for Mr. Evans, a public
office and a room for the stenographers.
MILK IMPROVEMENT NOTED
Government Inspector Says Portland
Supply Is Good.
That a great dear of good work has
been done by the milk inspection di
vision of the city health department in
improving milk conditions in Portland
is the declaration of Frank H. Both
ell, in charge of Western dairy investi
gations for the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, who la in the city
assisting in the quality campaign,
which has been promoted by the milk
inspectors and milk chemist.
"I have found from investigation,"
said Mr. Bothell. yesterday, "that milk
conditions In Portland are fairly good.
It shows that a great deaf of good
work has been done. There is still
much room for improvement, however.
It Is against the Government policy to
draw comparisons between conditions
in one city and another, and for that
reason I cannot say how the milk here
compares generally with supplies in
other cities. I can say, however, that
milk conditions in Portland are good.".
