Roberson Is Owner Of New Enterprise Near Pair Grounds ONLY ONE IN SECTION * Capacity of Plant la Now About 200 Hogs Bach Week; Additional Equipment Ordered A (laughter house, handling hogs and beef principally, was opened here yesterday by Mr. D. M. Roberson, owner and manager of the new busi ness. The building handling the slaughtering equipment was completed last week, and while the coolers and tracks have not been placed at this time, the owner butchered a number of pigs for delivery yesterday. The building is located to the west of the Roanoke Fair Grounds on the A. C. L. Railroad. The slaughtering house, the only-one located in this immediate section, will handle around two hundred hogs each week, according to Mr. Roberson, who is an experienced swine breeder. The business is supplying markets in many o£ the towns of tliig. section at the present time. Deliveries are tnade each week, atfd a large amount of the raw meat is trucked direct from the slaugh ter heuse by the purchasers. Tht butchering process has been conveniently arranged and only a few minutes are required to take the- live pig from the pen to the delivery racks. The animal, is run into a small pen near the slaughter house door, where it is killed and prepared for the dip ping vat. After a few seconds in the vat, the hog is placed on a cleaning table where the hair is removed by the scrapers. A track takes the pig from the table to another part of the btfltd iug, where it is thoroughly washed and made ready for dressing. With the in stallation of a colter, with a ton ca pacity, the dressed animal will be placed on storage or delivered immedi ately, as the case may be. Five men are required to handle the several operations, each employee hav ing definite task* to perform as the animal is made ready for the market. Care is exercised in all tin- operations, | particular attention being given to the dressing of the pig. Mr. Roberson, a large breeder him self, stated yesterday that the supply was somewhat limited in this section and that he would be forced to handle foreign meat for a few weeks. Up un til the present time, However, the de mand is being met with local goods. No beef has' been handled in the house, Mr. Roberson stating that he would be forced to wait until all the equipment is placed before, he could slaughter cattle to advantage. • METERS BEING READ MONTHLY P Many Users Are Protesting That Readings Are Too Much —r-* Many of the town's water users were, and still are, for that matter, puzzled over the excess in their water readings for the |Jast month, and Superintendent Harrell is having a difficult time ex plaining iAd insistiltg that they have been washing, scrubbing and bath more than usual. The recent meter readings w«re the first to be made under the monthly plan, it is believed that the revenue from the water department will now more than offset the expense and leave a surplus in the town's treasury. Under the old system, the minimum charge for certain fixtures was s» a quarter,* 10,00(1 gallons l»eing allowed for that amount Under the new sys tem the charge remains the same, $2 per month, but the limit for that a mount is 3,000 gallons each month, or 9,000 gallons for the quarter. According to the department's sup erintendent, a majority of the readings show an excess. ■WATTS ** THEATRE H Saturday August J I Ben Wilson and Neva Garber in "WARRIOR GAP" I Also COMEDY AND SERIAL -TARSAN THE MIGHTY" I Monday-Tuesday August S-6 I ~DOLORKO COSTELLO and CONRAD NAOEL "GLORIOUS BETSY" Alao NEWS and FABLES MUSIC BY PHOTOTONB THE ENTERPRISE Tobacco Meeting Tonight At City Hall, To further boost the local tobac co market, citizena of the town and community are expected to pack the town hail*auditorium tonight at 8:30 o'clock, when methods of backing the warehouses and the market as a whole will be dis cussed.
