TELLS VAN DYKE TO BLOCK DESTRUCTION! Political Circles Stirred by First Word From Nominee on i Mysterious Trip. < The crematory fight took a rather; sensational turn today with the receipt j of a telegram from Mayoralty Nomi-| nee James G. Woodward by Aldermant A. 11. Van Dyke. The message read: New York. Nov. 11. Why such activity on the part of Gilbert and others? Are they fear ful of honest results? Use all means at your command to pre vent old crematory being injured In any way. Present Contract will never be carried out. I hope to reach Atlanta by Thursday next. J. G. WOODWARD This is the first news that any official of Atlanta has had from Mr. Wood- j ward since he left the city a week ago ' on a mysterious trip through the East. I He said he would investigate garbage, disposal systems, but his itinerary has been kept secret from every one ex cept the members of his family Van Dyke Asks QJd Plant Be Reopened. Alderman Van Dyke said he under stood Mr. Woodward to refer to the $276,000 contract of the Destructor Company, of New York, for a new gar bage disposal plant by “present con tract.” Aiderman Van Dyke today wrote the following letter to Dr. W. D. Gilbert, j president of the city board of health: Inasmuch as nothing can be done toward tearing down the old cre matory for at least ten days; and whereas there is no good or valid reason why the garbage of the city should not be disposed of In the present crematory. I respectfully ask and request, in the name of the citizens and tax payers of the city of Atlanta, that you withdraw your arbitrary order and reopen the cre matory at once. Very respectfully, A. H. VANDYKE Chairman of the Committee of Sanitary Affairs and ex-Officio member of the board of health. Aiderman Van Dyke said he would seek a mandamus from the courts to force the board of health to resume the use of the crematory if his request was not compiled with. Winn Refuses to Get Into Controversy. Dr. Gilbert sought aid from Mayor Winn to get possession of the old cre matory, that the Destructor Company might begin work on the new plant. Mayor Winn replied that he intended to leave the city tomorrow for a rest in Florida, and that he would not get in volved in the crematory fight. Dr. Gilbert will appeal to Acting Mayor John S. Candler for help. “I was ordered by the board of he.alth to stop the use of the old crematory," said Dr. Gilbert today, “and I will not rescind that order without instructions from the board of health or a court oi - der. The board meets Friday.” Leading clubwomen at a meeting yes terday afternoon entered Into the fight, expressing indignation at the delay of city officials in providing some system of garbage disposal. Among those who made talks on the subject were Mrs. .1. K. Ottley, Mrs. Sam D. Jones. Mrs. Charles J, Thaden and Mrs. Thomas B. Felder. The Woodward forces, who won their first victory with the halting by Judge Pendleton of the board of health's plan to tear down the huge smokestack of the old plant, await the home-coming of their leader for the renewal of the tight. The Chamber of Commerce probably will take a hand in the crematory row at an early date. One called meeting to consider the question has been held by th<- directors of the chamber.
