The caucus went into executive ses

Newspaper men were excluded from

The voting on district delegates was

CITY PLANT PLAN
DDE FOR MORE
JUGGLING
Health Board’s Recommenda
tion Again Will Go to Council
Finance Committee.
Members of the hoard of health said
today they expected to make the same
recommendation to the city council for
a garbage disposal plant they made
before. The council again will refer it
to the finance committee, where it was
argued at three long meetings and
finally referred back to the board "f
health.
"J don't see how we can improve on
ou)' former recommendation." said ts ■
H. Brandon, a member of th® board,
v. ho has tiUpei''i ttd the building of two
crematories.
"It. is false economy not to pre '('d
at. once to bufld a. modern incinera
tor." said Dr. J. H. Bradfield. "The
people o? Atlanta are. demanding it."
Dr. Gilbert said the board would g !
over the propositions for garbage dis
posal once more and that the board
then would "stand pat." on its recom
mendation.
To Consider Forsyth Bid.
The instruction' of the finance com-
I mittee are that the board cut out
every possible item from the disposal
plant bid. Ry leaving off the vater
pump and the electric plant, .tire mem
bers of tjre board expect to reduce the
cost of the plant they want from $44h.-
000 to about $230,000. They also will
consider the $50,000 bid of the Forsyth
t'lemator.v Company.
Another grave danger arising from
the garbage heaps in the city lias been
cited to the board of health by parents
whose children, cluster about the un
healthy piles searching in the filthy
refuse foi coins or leather scraps from
which they make "slings.
At the corner of Greensferry avy-nue
and Ashby street more than two dozen
boys were using the vicinity of the
dump, heaps as playgrounds.
These boys said others m various
sections' 'of the city gather about the
unsanitary spots several hours each
day.
Chief Jentzen. of the sanitary de
partmeiil. and the other health rffficers
are alarmed at the increasing com
plaints of the dump piles where the
garbage and refuse mattei no" is de
posited. It now is dumped into heaps
at eighteen places around the city. The
decaying matter gives off sickening
Odors, and flies, mosquitoes and rats
swarm around the neaps. They are a
♦constant menace to the health of the
city.
The garbage dump at the end ot
North Jackson street is on city proper
ty, in Piedmont park. A ditch leading
down to what is known as "Clear
Creek." the li.ttlq stream which flows
almost under the bleachers at Ponce
Debeou ball park, has been nearly
filled by refuse hauled in the city carts
The ditch into which the garbage is
dumped receives the garbage and drains
it into'the cTeek which flows north past
the fashionable district of Ansley park,
carrying with i«. a thousand impuri
ties’ '
Refuse Dumps Imperil Many.
Just across th® stream and not 100
yards away, is a baseball diamond,
where each afternoon a score ot the
neighborhood boys play baseball and
breathe into their lungs the fetid air
from the refuse heap.
“Homer Bartlett, a little boy living
near here, had typhoid fever last sum
mer." said Mrs. A. C. Walters, whose
home is at North Boulevard and Tenth
ytreet, "and many of the children in
the neighborhood have fever.
"Does that, dump inconvenience us?
That is not the word: it is simply aw -
ful. AA'e can't sit on oqi" porch at
night,, and you see how far we ar •
from it."
The Walters home is at least a block
from the pile,
"We don’t notice the odor during the
day--at least, not very much; but at
, night it is almost unbearable."
Mrs. AV. B. Cox. whose husbanu and
brother run a general store on th® op
, nosite corner from the At alters home,
said:
"It makes it almost imposeiblt for us
• to stay in this store tin damp days
. it is particularly bad. I don't see why
■ the city should treat us this way.
Haven't they started to build a crema
tory several times? I don't see why in
» the world they don't do something, tv
folks out her® are all going to have
’ fever this summt-i."

drained to rid it of its suddenly ac
quired pest of frogs.
The park board didn't drain it. They
took the word of Joel Hurt, who built
Inman Park, that there weren’t enough
frogs to speak of. When Hurt, backed
by Major Guinn, offered $1 for every
w'ggletail found in the lake the com
missioners declined to investigate fur
ther any claim that Springvale reeks
with pests. The board also accepted
Mr. Hurt’s denial of another claim that
mosquitoes had appeared.
The sanitary commission did take
action. It put oil on the lake surface
to drive away the frogs, a.nd for a time
things were a bit more quiet. But a
little later Inman Park residents began
to see strange men lurking in the shad
ows. A burglary epidemic happened
around there about that time, and those
who weren't superstitious joined the
police in the belief that that park had
become a rendezvous for tramps.
Even Children
Desert the Park.
But the ghost stories would not down.
They have gained such credence among
certain folk in that vicinity that chil
dren do not play as much in Springvale,
even by day, as they used to before
the despondenr girl hanged herself to
the tree there. The residents' disagree
about, the visitations, but complaints re
cur, and they have forced the matter up
to the park board again, 'with the re
newed demand that something strenu
ous be done to rid the place of He nui
sances—whether they are ghostly or
things in nature.
Sorely puzzled, the commissioners
have been casting about for a solution
of the problem for weeks. While they
consider Mr. Bond's plan for a salt
sowing they are also giving heed to a
petition headed by W. L. Percy and
J. H. Porter urging that the lake be
drained and made over -into a sunken
garden.
But Mi". Bond insists that the corn
plaints of the superstitious will never
