RFPORT OF S A N I T A R Y COMMITTEE.

NEW YORK, February 25, 1874. The Sanitary Committee respectfully call the

attention of the Board to the form of an ordinance regulating the business of hog slaughtering, sub-mitted by the Committee on the 22d day of July, 1873, and which was laid on the table. The object of that ordinance was to relieve the city of 1 he nuisance growing out of this branch of slaughtering.

During the past season the attention of the

230. T H E C I T Y R E C O R D . FEBRUARY 28.

Committee has been frequently called not only to the nuisance created by hcg slaughtering, but to the growing evils of the business of slaughter-ing in general. Instead of concentrating in a small anil suitable area, and in large establish-ments, where the work can be done in a cleanly and economical manner, the constant tendency is to the multiplication of small and separate estab-lishments, and to their diffusion over larger and larger territory. There are now upwards of fifty of these separate buildings, and the Board is fre-quently receiving applications from other parties to occupy new premises. _

Slaughter houses are erected without the knowledge of the Board, and when a permit is asked the owner has already expended large sums of money, and under our present regula-tions, is entitled to a permit. II the present policy of the Board is continued, the business of slaughtering in up-town districts will very soon become one of the most serious evils with which the health administration of this city will have to contend. The interests of the public health, and of the public convenience demand the contrac-tion rather than the expansion of the territory devoted to this business, as well as the abate-ment of those nuisances growing out of it, such as cattle-driving, and the transportation of butchers' refuse in the streets. The experience of the last summer convinces the Committee that this Board should take early steps to bring this business under the most rigid sanitary control. Instead of an expansion ot territory and an in-crease of buildings, there should be the utmost concentration possible, or entire abandonment of the business on the island.

The Committee are of the opinion that the conclusion to which they were inevitably led in the examination of the subject of hog slaughter-ing apply with equal if*not greater force to the business of slaughtering cattle and small stock as at present conducted. We desire to call the at-tention of the Board to some of the main teatures of that report. _

««The Committee has maturely considered the following propositions:

" I . The entire suppression of the business within the city limits. # . .

"II . The regulation of the business in existing slaughter houses.

" i l l . The concentration of the business in an abbatoir

sions apply with equal force to the entire: busi-ness. The configuration of the island and the pressure of the population upol» «11 the available space for dwellings renders it imperative that an inoffensive trade like this shall either remove be-yond the city limits, or seek a location in the city where it can be carried on for all time without detriment to great public interests.

As the warm season is again approaching with its attendant dangers of a high sickness and death rate from those domestic pestilences which are so aggravated by sources of animal putrefaction, which this business creaies, the Committee are of the opinion that this Board should take such action as will remove this business entirely from the island, or concentrate it in a single property located, appointed and managed abbatoir. We recommend the adoption of the following ordi-nance; but we deem it advisable to give all par-ties interested an opportunity to be heard before it is finally adopted. We recommend, therefore, that the Board appoint 2 o'clock P. M., Tuesday next, March 3, at the rooms of the Health Ue partment, for a hearing on this subject, and that the secretary send a copy of the proposed ordi-nance, with a notice of the meeting, to all par-ties encaged in the business of slaughtering.

Section 183. That from and after the first day of July, 1874, the slaughtering or dressing of cattle, sheep, hogs and calves shall not be allow-ed or conducted at any place in the City of New York south of l ioth street, except in a single abbatoir or building of a plan approved by the Board of Health, and of capacity sufficient to accommodate the entire business ot slaughtering in said city, and to admit of the yarding, use and disposition of all the parts of the animals slaugh-tered or dressed, so as effectually to prevent all nuisance or offensive odors therefrom, and to secure the wholesomeness of the meat as human food. ,, „ _

city from the nuisance which hog slaughtering creates, is, of course, its entire suppression within the city limits. And such action on the part of the Board as would suppress the business would, in our opinion, be justified, if it were not possible otherwise to remedy existing evils. The alleged inconveniences and difficulties attending conduct-ing the business outside the city—such as the perishable nature of the meats, difficulties of transportation, the deprivation of the poor who purchase of the packing houses, etc., etc., have no real existence. The hog slaughterers at Communipaw, who largely supply our markets, do not attach any importance to this objection. And we are convinced, after much inquiry, that if this business were concentrated at some acces-sible point on the river beyond the city limits, it could be carried on not only much more eco-nomically than at present; but the facilities for the distribution of the meats in the city, the dis-postion of refuse, etc., would be greatly facili-tated. The transportation of meats in properly prepared barges would greatly tend to their pre-* . • 1 .v t 1J .11 Wa u»!1t«A/i nv

proper apparatus on the premises "II , The regulation of the business in existing |

slaughter houses, a measure strongly advocated j by the butchers, cannot, in the opinion of the ; Committee, be so ordered as to obviate some of the most objectionable features of the trade. The same territory now occupied would be required, the herding of hogs would be distributed over the j same area; the care of refuse would be very im-1 perfect, and that negligent and imperfect man-agement which always characterizes small deal-ers and tradesmen, would render the business, under the most rigid supervision, objectionable, especially during the summer months.

"III . The concentration of the business in a single building or abbatoir within the city limits is the last method considered by the Committee. This method contemplates the concentration of the entire business—yarding, slaughtering, ren-dering, etc., in a single building. Such a struc ture to meet sanitary requirements must be lo-cated on the river front; must be of such dimen-sions as to accommodate the entire business in all its details, and of such material and construction as to prevent all nuisances. That such construc- hereby appointed a Commissioner of Deeds in tion in New York is practicable is evident from a n d JJJ Q t y a n ( j Countv of New York, in the success of the abbatoir system in other cities, , c e a n ( j s t e a < j Qf Andrew Kuhner, who has and from the testimony of those familiar with all J ^ j t Q q u a l i fy . the details of the business. . .

Abstract of the proceedings of the Board of Commissioners of the Department of Public Parks, for the two weeks ending Saturday, the 21st Feb-ruary, 1874. . ,

A plan for the construction of Riverside Yark and Avenue, so that both could be combined in one esplanade, was adopted.

The following memorial was ordered to be presented to the Legislature, to the Chairmen of the Committees on Affairs of Cities in both the Senate and Assembly, and to be printed at length in the minutes: •j0 the Honorable the Legislature of the State of

New York. The memorial of the undersigned Commissioners

of the Department of Public Parks, respectfully represents:

That it is desirable that not only the plan of all surface improvements to be made on the streets and avenues bounding all public parks north ot Fifty-eight street, in the City, should be designed and prescribed by the Department of Public Parks, but that the construction and management and control and maintenance of all regulating, grading, paving, curbing and guttering, and other improvements on such streets and avenues should be ordered and done by the Department of Public Parks; and among the many reasons for such course, the following may be adduced :

ana inunjA» j — ana in gouu uiuu, vw » points, would be a great improvement upon the c i e t y j o r the Protection present carriage by trucks. Yet we do not be- o l i c Children, to be us lieve that any business should be driven from the ^ t- . 1 — -v-n city which can, by proper regulation, be rendered practically inoffensive. And we are of the opin-ion that this business can, by the adoption of the third plan, be rendered inoffensive. If the par-ties interested in this business would unite, and in good faith, provide a suitable building, with all the appliances and appointments of a modern abbatoir, this trade in all its details, now so offen-sive, could be rendered an ornr ment to the city.

An extended examination of existing slaugh-ter houses for cattle and sheep, and the increas-ing evils and nuisances attendant thereon, have convinced the Committee that the above conclu-

bounding the public parks having been fixed and determined, all improvements in the several parks must be made with reference to such grades, so tar as ingress and egress to them i« concerned, and also as to the construction of retaining walls for fences for enclosure, and of embankment walls for adapting the surface of the parks to the grades most proper for them in planting and im-proving the porks. queuing an »uum » » • »

Second—That in the planting of trees in the | ,9 > w i th directions, parks and in the avenues and streets adjoining «r. — i ^ . » „ t T»L them, a system should be purs-led to produce regularity of growth, as well as tasteful and picturesque effect; and these remarks equally apply to the lighting and surface-draining of streets and avenues.

Third—That unless the work of regulating and otherwise improving the streets and avenues bounding parks progresses systematically with the improvements made in the parks, much delay and expenditure will probably occur, which should be avoided if both works were under one control, and it would be difficult to define on whom the responsibility for such delay and excess of cost should rest, if it were divided between two or more departments.

Fourth—That by a judicious system of im-provement and maintenance, almost or quite the whole width of all streets and avenues bounding public parks may be so arranged as to add to the

Fifth—In the cases of the Riverside and the Morningside parks, which are each of great length and small width, it appears very desirable that any measures that can be adopted for in-creasing -heir apparent width, should prevail.
