CHEMATDRY 1 WASTE OF I MOMS AMOROUS Former Finance Chairman De clares People Will Rise Up Against It as Nuisance. THREE DISPOSAL PLANTS. HIS SOLUTION OF QUESTION Single Garbage Place Would Compel Hauling Through the Center of Atlanta. Martin Amorous, -well known capi tailst and former chairman of the finance committee of council, said to »av that the $276,000 garbage disposal plant the city is preparing to build would create a nuisance the people of mta would not tolerate. y Amorous took Sanitary Chief jrrtzen and newspaper men on a tour of investigation today to prove his as sertions. H< raid that with a larger crematory Iw.'k of the Terminal station, in the tenter of the city, all garbage taken to it would have to be hauled through the center of the city. With the wind scat tering its fumes and its particles ir. every direction, he said the people would protest so vigorously that the < r i it,n-y would have to be aban doned. 'lr Amorous went further. He said that the plan of disposal of garbage ©rwciraiffinrsr dollars of lhe city's money. Besides the $276,000 lost price of the plant, it would take elmost SIOO,OOO to purchase automobile trucks to haul the garbage from all parts of the city. The new plant is to burn 250 tons of garbage a day, while the present plant, which is burning 125 tons a day, cost only $30,000, and still Is odorless. Old Crematory Can be Repaired. In addition, the present crematory is to be torn down to make room for the pew one. The new one is not to be rompleted until more than a year, the contract giving the Destructor Compa ny of New York, which has the con tract, 310 working days to complete the plant. With a few thousand dol lars the old crematory can be thor oughly repaired. Mr. Amorous wants to know whero n’l the garbage will be dumped during ’he next year. He said the city will be swamped with damage suits and in junctions. Mt. Amorous offers a remedy. He said the city should retain the old crematory and build two new ones in ' ifferent sections of the city. Witli one ventral crematory he said it would cost $1,600 a day to haul the garbage, the average haul being two and one-half miles. With three crematories in dif ferent sections of the city, a minimum haul would be secured and the two plants could be built for SIOO,OOO at most. Officials Say Plan Must Stay. Ir. Amorous said this was the plan 1 the board of health when he was in ncil. and it was also the project out fl when the bond issue was voted, declared he could see no reason why 1 ity should proceed with its pres '■ Plan, especially since it must glva moral obligation for all but $50,000 |,f he cost price. Hut the city officials declare it is late to consider any change of tins, a contract for the new crema ' has been signed and the work of ,f;< rlng down the old crematory will 51 A n within a few days.
