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." Taft Victory in Ohio Convention CLEVELAND. OHIO.

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 be stopped until the saline sesame- is employed, and more than one .of. .the commissioners think the scheme, how ever silly, might not be a bad plan by way of winning the board some peace of mind.
