Secretary Finds Fort Wayne Meat Supply Generally Good
Dr H O Bruggeman secretary of the city health department conducted inspections of local packing houses and butcher shops to assess Fort Wayne meat supply and found conditions generally good. He sent samples of sausage hamburger and lard to the state bacteriologist for examination but expects no preservatives or cotto lene to be found. He notes clean ice boxes and no signs of diseased animals being slaughtered. He suggests a city ordinance to create an inspector to verify stock on hoof and require certificates of meat quality before sale. The probe stemmed from an anonymous letter to Indianapolis official Dr Hurry and followed packing house inspection guidelines from a city health officers meeting in Indianapolis.
