Dunham of 'd;oburn Street, one of the Slaughter Ins- pectors, came before the Board to question them about the appoint- ment of Charles A.Walley as Inspector of Slaughtering. The Chairman informed him that the Board did appoint ':-'r. Malley as Inspector. when George A. '+Varner, regular Inspector, was drawn as a Juror; that his appointment, however, was not approved by the State Department of Animal Industry and that if he stamped some carcasses before his appointment was passed upon by the State Depart- ment, this was a mistake upon the part of Kr. +'valley which cannot be rectified now. Mr. Dunham cautioned the Board about any further mistakes of this kind as he considered it a serious matter. W 1 Mr. Edward Bunzel of last Street, came before the Board to ' see if he could secure hie Slaughter License. The appropriation for Inspectors of Slaughtering having been laid on the table at the Town Meeting, and the question having arisen as to whether or not the Slaughterere should not have to pay more toTrard the cost of Inspection, and in the mean time licensee to slaughter having expired, Mr. Bunzel made a plea for a temporary permit. He was informed by the Town Counrel, that the Board had the right to issue such temporary permit. Town Counsel called attention to Chapter 94, .Section 119 of the General Lawe which provides that the Selectmen may issue licensee. Under that Chapter the Board may charge $100 for the fee. Chapter 111, Section 151, provides that no building may be occupied -or used as a Slaughter house, without a written permit from the Board, for which the Board may charge any amount. The Board, however. agreed to as.,_:,o have ti.e ratter taken from the table at the Town Meeting and when the action def the meeting is determined they will e;ain take the matter up at their Selectmente meeting.
