TAINTED CARCASES
Arsenic Story Scouted SHIPPERS & EXPORTERS By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, June 23. Auckland shipping representatives and exporters are sceptical about the tainted meat report cabled from London yesterday. They scout the idea that arsenic leaked from the hides stored above the refrigerated hold. A prominent hide exporter said that never in his experience had he known arsenic to be used for curing hides. Salting was the universal practice. Leakage from the brine coils in refrigerated sections of the ship was not uncommon, but seldom sufficient to stain any great portion of the carcases. However, the brine and chemical solution in the coils did not contain arsenic. If that had been the practice there would have been trouble long before this.
