City To Haul Locker Offal
Max Reneau of Reneau Locker Plant in North Ottawa told city commissioners that disposal of offal from butchered cattle is a problem. A Kansas City rendering firm will end pickup this week and state inspectors say Reneau cannot haul offal on highways. City officials advised contracting with Ira Bonine, the city garbage hauler, to dispose of the material. Reneau considered a cooker to prepare offal for hog feed but feared odor and said he would arrange with the garbage contractor.
