These were investigated by Mr. Lurvey, approved and permitted by the Board. In connection with the poultry, the question was brought up as to whether or not the slaughterhouses for poultry should be issued permits. It was thought that only the slaughtering of poultry brought in from out of State should be issued per- mits, but Mr. Lurvey is to look into this and report to the Board. The Board feels perhaps a permit requirement should go along with the right to inspect such establishments. Only Idlewylde, (Mr. Napoli), has permit at present time. There are also Pine Hill, Roseland, Smith, etc. The Board of Selectmen, thru Mr. McQuillanisnotified Animal the Board that Dr. Benton's 1956 A ppropriation4cut from a Inspector recommended 11275 to $900.
