Salt Meats.

--The City Council have passed a resolution allowing the renters of stalls in the meat markets to sell bacon and lard. An effort was made to add butter to the list, but the Council refused to do so, one or more members alleging that that would open the door for huckstering, and that neither grocers nor families would ever be able to get a supply save from the swarm of cormorants who bought up all that came to the city and retailed it out at their own prices.
