Statthtics, nnd otilier information oi a helpful character, are l>eing collected by the Citizens' Committee which has in hand the matter o. establishing municipal abattoirs a>i Levin. The committee, as a result of its investigations, is understood to be convinced that the town aivd district both would be benefited by the setting up of abattoirs in these parts; the district by reason of the added importance and profit that would accrue to the Levin stock sales, and the town through tilie financial and other material benefits that the side-line industries fostero.. by the abattoirs would confer opo. it. Some critics have said, even this early, that tho taxpayers shouk. pau.se before saddling themselves with the cost of erecting mimicipai abattoirs; but in this connection i. is of interest to mention the fact, perhaps n.-it generally known, tha. ail municipal abattoirs are sell'-sup-portini;. The Act directs tihat the cost of their or-.v-tion and upkeep irf to be made tho basis of the chnrge.s levied upon the butchers who slaughter in the buildings; and if by anj I'.nfcr.soo'i cive-umstan-e,s the slaugjii ierin.r fees fall to raise sufficient revenue t« meet the-expenses in an. :me year, the deficit can be wipe out by increasing the fees in the year immediately succeeding.
