Meat Inspection Bill Advances at White House
Roosevelt and the house agriculture committee reached a near final agreement on a meat inspection bill at the White House. The measure authorizes a 5 million dollar annual appropriation, excludes an assessment to cover deficits, and omits a court review provision and a civil service exemption. It also drops a labeling date for meat products and broad inspector access. The Senate passed the Lake Erie and Ohio River canal bill the same day, as House adjourned after Rep Lester’s death. A Nebraska banker, Christopher Koehler, was fined 250 and jailed 12 hours for illegally fencing government funds.
