Toronto, Oct. 8.—The -slaughter
houses of the Province are to be
brought under strictregulation and
inspection. For some time past
the Provincial Board of Health has
been envestigating conditions par
titularly in small centres and rural
districts; from which many com-
plaints have been received and
as a result the board has decided to
bring the slaughter houses to task
in respect to sanitary measures.
The provincial authorities pro-
pose to exercise control not only
over the operation of slaughter,
houses, but their construction as
well. This means that henceforth
before one can be constructed
plans and specifications must be
approved by the Provincial Board
It is recognized that to a large e x -
tent unsanitary conditions in
existing slaughter ihouses are due
not so much to the carelessness
of the owner as to faults in the
construction' and drainage facili-
ties of the buildings.
For those existing comprehen-
sive rules hav been drawn up.
Every establishment will be requi-
ed tol have f,proper lighting and
ventilation, with sufficient c(raine
and proper traps and connections
Ceilings, wall, floors, approaches
and platforms must be kept clean
and if so constructed 'as to allow
the accumulation 'of dirt, must be
rebuilt' at the order of the health
officer or sanitary inspector. The
instruments must be thoroughly
cleaned, every time they are used.
The board (is determined to stop
the handling of meat bydirty em-
ployes, Employers are to be' made
responsible for the cleanliness of
their workers' persons and cloth-
ing, and will be advised to require
frequent washing of the hands. No
workman affected with tuberculo-
sis or other communicable disease
may be employed in any depart-
ment where carcases are dressed
or handled in any way. The in-
spectors will be empowered tore-
' quire
e-'quire the dismissal on medical ex-
amination of any env loye suspect
ed of suffering from a cemmuni
cable disease.
The slaughter house proprietors
will be forced to keep their prem-
ises screened against flies and
vermin. Clean water and ice only
will be allowed in washing car-
cases and mechanical methods will
have to be subsituted for some
work now performed by hand.
The slaughtering of unhealthy
animals or the sale Of meat unfit
for food is to be made an indict-
able offence and the local health
officers and sanitary inspectors are
empowered to enter any slaughter
house for the purpose of inspec-
tion. In the rural districts • the
work will (be largely under the
direction of the district officers
-
of health.
The regulations will be issued in
the course (of a week.
