2 BITTER FIGHT ON OVER 5440,000 CITY PUNT Aldermen Say Price of New Garbage Disposal System ■ Is Too High. A strong fight will bo mafic against the purchase of the proposed $44f*.060 garbage disposal plant at the meeting of the finance committee of council this afternoon, on the ground that such a purchase would be a reckless expen diture of the people's monev Despite the fact 'hat Mayor Winn Chairman Candler of the finance com mitter. the board of health and the bond commission have approved the recommendation of Dr Rudolph Her ing. the expert engineer, that the plant be. purchased. Alderman A. -I. Johnson, a member of the finance committee, declares today that the price is absurd. Ht savs he will fight the purchase of the plan' to the last ditch. While the plans provide for a water pump to lie operated by electricity gen erated from the burning garbage, neitn. rhe general manager of the wa terworks nor the members of the water board hgve -een the specifications Thr> say they don't know what qrt " f a pump council is about to bin. anil that they ought to know Aiding Chambers and Claude" 4 i. Ma s >n. influential members of council, de claied today they want a thorough in 'gatinn i he* cost before any con tra t is made. They asserted they were i fighting prevent too hasty action b\ these- who want ii» solve tile garbage problem immediately. New Plan Offered City an Income. Sin'S the recommendation that the Destructor Company of New York be awarded the contract for a garbage disposal plant a rival company has en- I fared the field with a proposal to build I 8 plant of a different nature which will yield the city an actual income from] oy-products of the iminetating plant,] making it an asset instead ->f a lia- i bilitv. The cost of installing this sys- ] teni. they -ay. would be fur below that of the plant recommended. The disposal system was recommend ed on the idvl. e of Dr Rudolph Hoi mg. an exper* engineer from New York But it is said the specifications of the bid "ere taken principally from the specifications of the plant in Milwau kee. and that Dr Hering drew up lho ; . spe< ification.- Jt seems probable not only that the acceptance of this bid will be delayed for some time, but that a bitter fight w ill bo prei ipitated. Major Winn determined to ,-olve the garbage prob lem. for it it one of his inaugural poli cies. and he is <m the last lap of his term of office The board of health is un'ted in support of it. and Aiderman John B. t'andkr. chairman of thi j finance committee, al: ■ appiove- it. Price Too High, Say Councilmen But there are a number of council men who say that s44c.onn j s a for bidding price. The next lower bid was only >200,000 The present crematory, one-third the size of the proposed plant, cost less than sso,one. Aiderman Johnson Is ttje only mem ber of the finance committee who has declared against the project. Rut he alone can hold up action for two weeks, and other members an have a vote when the finance committee reports to council Members of the finance committee have -eceived an informal proposition from the Manitowoc Engineering Works of Wist onsin represented locally by W. H Sawyer X- Sons, to build a re duction plant that will net the city an annual income of more than s<.ooo u will cos! about this much to operate thr $440,f>00 plant.

NEVIN. 'The Sidelights Department is in receipt nf avers cordial letter from a gentleman in south Georgia, in which this curious and interesting statement occurs: I am glad to see that Tom Felder is to be elected a delegate-at-lai ge to Baltimore, and without protect I have never sympathized ver\ much with Mr. Felder's Hoke Smith ideas, but he is a distinguished Georgian, and our aHorne'y-general, aiul. his election would be an evidencq of good will among Democrats very pleasing to me. It is surprising, teal).'- how often Geor gfa s two Tom Fehiers ate fnixed up ; n the popular mind The Tom proposed hy the Fulton county Democracy for one of the delegates-at large places is not, of course, the attor ney general Moreover, if he ever en tertainer! an> violent Hoke Smith views about anything in particular, he suc ceeded very cleverly thus far in conceal ing them utterly. The political offices he has held can he counted on one finger he was on< ea member of the legislature unless thr time, away bark yonder, yy hen he yeas solicitor-general somewhere, .-’o>uld also he counted. He has been a member of -ever at national convent ion.- His name is I homas B Felder, and he is generally distinguished from th? other Tom by ‘hr prefix "Atlanta." Thomas S Felder, the other one. gen erally is known as "Macon ' Tom. He has been several times a member of the legislature, and is now attorney- general of the state. He is the Tom with all those Hoke Smith views attaching, of which Sidelight's correspondent writes. He has no idea of being elected a dele gate-at-large to Baltimore, and probably doesn't wish to be. < »nee upon a time there was a “Nash ville' 'lorn Felder, too. In those days, it 'imply was impossible to keep the Toms disentangled, and ’nobody tried Nowa days, however, as there are only two ot them, the task is somewhat less hopeless, even if it does keep one busy. Both ‘Atlanta ' ’Font and ' Macon" Tom cave many warm friends throughout the state, for both are good and everybody likes them.

May 10.—Th* new est Rockefeller baby. just born to Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. Jr., as he gurgled peaeefullj- today in his layette, in his parents' home, at No. 13 West Fifty-fourth street. could easily have had his unusually quiet disposition diagnosed as due to the fact that he is worth, as he lies. $40,000,000. This makes him already one of the wealthiest young gentlemen in the world. What baptismal name this newest child of fortune will bear not yet be°n decided upon. He is a healthy little wight, and while his general dis position, as has been said, is most peaceful in its attitude toward the world, such events as the approach of the dinner hour prove conclusive!' that he is possessed of a quite normal, pair of. lungs. This is Mrs. Rockefeller's fifth child and fourth son. the other being Ba bette the eldest, born in 1903: John D 111. born in 1905; Nelson Aldrich, horn in 190 S and the third son, born two years ago. Will Inherit $40,000,000. By the time the newest Rockefeller baby is twenty-one. he will inherit considerably more than $40,000,000. in all probability. The present income of John D. Rockefeller. Sr., is $60,000,000. a year according to the estimate once authoritatively made by the late H H. Rogers. With the compounding that will go on with the reinvestment of the increment of the Rockefeller wealth, there will undoubtedly be more than $60,000,000 at the disposal of the new est heir for his eventful right in the stupendous estate. John D. Rockefeller Sr., according to the best estimate is worth $700,000,000.

Equal amounts will go to Edith Rockefeller McCormick, who married Harold Mc- Cormick. of Chicago, and Alta Rocke feller Prentice, who married E. Parma lee Prentice.

Sr., now has ten grandchil dren. including the newcomer, the first. John R. McCormick, having died in 1901 at the age of four. He was as delight ed at hearing the news of the latest arrival to share the fortune he has ac cumulated as if it had been the first grandchild. He was at the Rockefeller estate at Pocantico Hills when the news was telephoned to him, and he lost no time in hurrying to the city to see the little bundle of wealthj- humanity. The newest baby has five first cous ins, all of whom will be worth $40.- 000,000 apiece when thej grow up. Two of these cousins are the children of the Parmalee-Prentices—John R. Prentice, who was born in 1902, and Mary Ade line Prentice, who was born five years later. The three other cousins are the children of the Harold McCormicks — Harold Fowler McCormick, born in 1898; Muriel, born in 1902, and Edith, born a year later.
