DESTRUCTOR CD.
HDPELESSLYTIED
Bond Tangle Threatens to
Break Contract—City May
Ask New Bids.
City officials declared today that the
1 >estructnr Company, of New York.
A ' uld not carry out Its contract to nuiid
a combination garbage disposal and
< lectric power plant with only the city’s
moral obligation as security for the de
fer'ed payments,
I'nlers the city council will so change
the contract that New York bankers
will underwrite the proposition. II is
expected .that the garbage disposal
P’<>hlom will bo as unsolved as it ever
"as. and that new bids will be asked.
In order io get New Yorkers to
finance the building of the plant \V. IC
Itowd. representative of the Destructor
< oinpany, said his company must re
tain ihe title to the property and con
trol of the plant until the last payment
was made by the city: that, the annual
payments must be made by February 1
of each year, and that the time limit in
which io build the plant should be in
creased from one to two years. This is
a '-übstitute for the city’s mors] obii
ga l ion
Time Limit Extended.
Iho time limit for the company tn
begin work on the plant expired yes
terday ("ounell extended the time for
two weeks and referred the request for
changes in the contract to the finance
committee.
Di \V. L Gilbert, president of the
board of health, said that he saw no
objection Io the changes in the con
tract asked by the company and that if
council allowed them, wo, k would be
begun at once.
But the council holds U $37,00(1 eerti
field check of the Destructor t’ompany
gtifit anteelng that the original contract
will be compiled with. Some members
of th*’ council are inclined to refuse any
concessions. Aiderman A. .1. Johnson
and <’ounciltnan Orville Hall were op
posed to Ute contract at ihe first.
Can’t Get Contract Underwritten.
While It is illegal for the city to
give anything more than a moral pledge
I** abide by a contract for more than
one year, this promise has been nego
tiated by local financiers several times
in the past. Tills contract is for a
larg* r amount than any previous one
ami provides for a municipal light and
powiw plant in conjunction with Hie
garbage disposal plant, which would
cause ihe city to compete with the
Georgia Railway A Power Company
Tlte New York company has abso
lutely failed to get local bankers to un
derwrite Its contract. Its representa
tive says the lompany can get its deal
financed in New Yot k if tiro city will
bind itself bv something stronger than
a moral promise to pay the $326,000
"ithin the next four vents.

MACON. GA.. July 2.—The beautiful
monument to the women of the Con
federacy. which was recently unveiled
in Macon, is in danger of being re
moved from the park in front of the
city hall by court deputies or sold ,i •-
mere stone to satisfy the creditors of
the bankrupt National Granite and
Marble Company, of Marietta, which
designed and erected it. The monu
ment was purchased by the womens
monument committee, but there is an
unpaid balance of $2,200, which the.
referee in bankruptcy of the United
States court for the Northern district
of Geoigia has demanded.
Attorneys today notified the officers
of the committee that failure to pay
this balance in an appropriate time
would result in the monument being
dismantled or sold. Members of the
committee are alarmed over the situa
tion, but state that they will make a
desperate effort to raise the money bv
popular subscription and save the good
name of Macon.
