On Clements’ shoulders falls the duty of keeping an eye on as many of these hundreds of small stores as it is physically possible for one man to do. “In the cases of the worst offend- ers,” he explained, “I have given | them three alternatives. They can | either risk being hauled into court on common health grounds, they | can improve or build sanitary sheds or else stop killing on the premises altogether.” A great many of the more con- scientious proprietors have preferred | to co-operate, he said, rather than face a day in court. At the request of The Star, Clem- | ents took a reporter to some of the places he termed “the best” and the “worst” for comparative purposes. Grocery. in Northwest. One of the latter places was & | small grocery store in the Northwest section. There was a small wooden shed in the back yard used as a chicken coop. At the back door of the store in a room formerly used as & toilet was the killing place. A small container for hot water and a shelf to let the blood drip into garbage cans provided the only fa- cilities, Flies swarmed about the place. Clements explained that the en- trails and feathers from the chickens are collected by the garbage trucks three times a week “if they can make | it” and sometimes only twice a week. | Another grocery and meat store in | another Northwest neighborhood, of many places the District is trying to get rid of or improve, was visited next. The chickens were killed there in an inside room directly in the rear of the counter. In an adjoining room the live chickens were kept uncaged. Filth littered the frame and plastered walls, which, Clements said, was im- possible to eliminate under the con- ditions. From behind the counter the Kkilling room was reached by a very short hall. The two visitors cautiously yrnked up their trousers as they walked into the room. The proprietor of this store has agreed to build a glazed brick killing place at the rear, which can be flushed and kept in & condition more in keeping with sanitary require- ments. He was to submit his plans to the Food Inspection Service next Friday. After several more such visits it was suggested that the “best” places be taken in, Segregation Is Aim. “What we are trying to do,” Clem- ents explained, “is to keep the killing rooms in these small places separated from the stores. With tin, tile or glazed brick interior walls it is possi- ble to turn on a hose and wash them down.” Frequently he has been called in by residents and other storekeepers to investigate complaints of obnox- fous odors at such places. Sometimes when the garbage truck makes its last visit on Friday, the inspector complained, the filth from the Kkilling places is left standing in containers over the week end. “Rats and flies infest such places,” he said.

Some of the large producers pro- vide anywhere from 15,000 to 25,000 chickens a week to Washington mar- kets, food stores and hatels. Most of the chickens are brought into the city by trucks from Southern Mary- land and Delaware. At these large killing centers sci- entific methods of handling and re- frigeration are employed. Clement, explained that some of the dealers were co-operatingg 100 per cent with the Food Inspection Service. The rooms where the chickens are kept are separated entirely from the killing and referigeration rooms. The chickens are kept in metal cages with wire bottoms, under which are metal drip pans. This is very important for sanitary reasons, it was pointed out. After the chickens are received they are put on a diet of water, which “flushess out” any poison or foreign matter. This process eliminates the possibility of tainting the meat after the bird has been killed. In many of the small groceries about which the department com- plains, Clements said, wooden cages are used that cannot be kept in a sanitary condition. 18 Engaged in Killing. On the floor below in one of the largest “houses inspected the killing room was in the rear behind doors that are kept tightly closed. Eight- een men were engaged in killing when the place was visited. Even in such places, that are Kkept constantly N S ALE flushed and are provided with tiled walls the odors were offensive. The process is expeditious, and the men are paid on the piece-work basis. After the blood has been allowed to drip from the birds, they are dipped into scalding water and the feathers quickly removed. They are then singed and are ready for a series of cooling tanks. This practice elimi- nates “sweating” of the fow! and pre- vents the 1 from spoiling. After the water bath they go into the cooler, where they are completely dried and made ready for delivery. The better establishments deliver in refrigerator trucks. Clements said there is no way of estimating how many thousands of poultry are killed a week in Wash- ington. The killing rooms in the large cen- ters are connected with the city sew- ers, but.

With Summer approaching, the in- spector said, the accumulation of such waste on back-yard premises will be even more offensive than it is now. “And remember,” he said, “sometimes the stuff stands over the week end.” The inspector said that recently he came across a poultry truck that actually did its killing in the streets. “We put a short end to that,” he added. The rear of the truck was used for killing purposes. “We have to watch some of these trucks coming in from the country very closely,” he said. Products of Casein.
