Proprietors of a Sullivan County hotel pleaded guilty and were fined $25.00 by Justice Clarence Newhouse of Bloomingburg for serving non-kosher meat as kosher. This is the first conviction of a hotel or restaurant proprietor in the administration of the new kosher law by the Department of Agriculture and Markets.
The penalty assessed the proprietor of Shawanga Lodge, a hotel at Highview, Sulivan County, was made under the section o# the law which forbids “the sale for consumption on the premises of non-kosher meat falsely represented to be kosher.”
