His mother sent clothing and shoes there regularly, but his brother got none of them; they were worn by the attendants.

But in the District of Columbia to-day, under the Presevt system all laws relating to it are rendered largely ineffectual by the causes mentioned. A properly-conducted abattoir is the only system under which the jaw reg- ulating the sale of unwholesome food can be enforced.” The committee say they can only reiterate that one abattoir, and if thought proper two abattoirs, would relieve the Districtof Co- lumbia of many sources of nuisances inja- rious to heaith, @nd enable this board to in- | speet live stock and meats in the manner evidently intended by the framers of ths law imposing upon this board the duty of pre- venting the sale of unwholesome food. As to the sanitary provisions included in this bill, the committee think it more advisable to suggest only such general sanitary maas- ures as every bill of this character should contain, namely: 1. That the location and construction of building or balidings for an abattoir, their sewerage, ventilation, and general sanitary condition be subject to the approval of the Board of Health. 2. That their sanitary police be under the immediate controlof same. 3. That no animal or ani- mais intended for slaughtering be allowed to enter the abattoir without having been ex- amined ee ee ee ee by bg her Spector appo! for that purpose. 4. Tha‘ no animal or animals entering said abattoir for the purpose of slanghtering, after a long journey, or in @ heated or feverish condition, be allowed to be sleughtered for twelve hours after such entrance, and after having been re-examined anc passed as sound b; said inspector. 5. That the Board of Heal sball make rules and regulations for the Foon gl inspection and condemnation of ani- mals intended for slaughter and meat in- tended for sale. 6. That the Board of Health shall appoint one or more inspectors for the examination and condemnation of animals and meat and for the police service of said a a 7. That in SS of a jarter the corporal resenting su an institution shall nto si tion pay Into the treasury of the District of Columbia $— in quarterly in- staliments to defray the ses connected with said inspections, and that said amount shall bedrawn from snch treasury on the proper voucher of the Board of Health for. the expense incurred in said supervision and ins ion. Having given a resume of the general sans- tery requirements of abattoirs, the commit- tee deem it unnecessary to make any fur- ther su; Jons regarding the bill in ques- ton, which they respectfully returned. — BUILDING PERMITS issued by Inspector Plowman:—G.
