Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Board of Health of the City of Boston: For the Financial Year 1880-81
Dead animals, such as horses, mules, Cows, pigs, and goats, are immediately removed from the city on notification to the proper parties. Offensive trades of nearly all kinds have been regulated. Slaughter-houses have been entirely aban doued, and the work is now all done in the Abattoir, whose capacity is increasing yearly, and which is conducted with very little offence to anybody. Bone-boiling and fat-render ing establishments, lime-kilns, phosphate works, and a variety of other Offensive trades, are scattered here and there about the city; but nearly all have undergone such modification within a few years as to be comparatively unobjectionable, and of which very few complaints are now made. The storing and curing of hides and horns within the city have been regulated and largely deprived of their offensive character. The wharves are kept in a clean and presentable condition.
The condition of the principal markets of the city is a source of pride, and they are rarely found in any degree untidy.
