Councilmen Declare Atlanta Faces
Grave Problem Without Incin
erator—Mayor Is Jubilant.
The action of the Supreme Court in I
declaring the crematory rontract il- ,
l»gal Thursday revived the old figlil
between Mayor Woodward and the
Council in all its fury.
Mayor Woodward was Jubilant over
th** decision and declared that he
would take the stump in opposition
to the approving: the contract by the
people. He taid the court action jus
tified all hi« oppoaition to Council’*
businetn* method* and that he wa*
join* to break the moral obligation
for the $106,000 fire alarm xyftern
which system is now about half com
pleted.
Impressing the temper of the oppo
sition, Councilman Claude L Ashley.
;chairman of the Sanitary Committee,
declared that the city was confronted
with a tragedy.
Predict* Epidemic*.
1 * “It is no longer a question of busi
ness methods.” said Councilman Ash-
lev “It is a question of life and
death If that < remator.' i* not put
into operation ao we can burn the
garbage of this town the people will
fee dying like flie* b\ fall
I am a poor man. but I will make
Ane of 276 to put tip the $276,000 to
pa for the plant and bide our time
for repayment- I had rather donate
th^ money than to have Atlanta be
Without a crematory this summer.
■ It is ail very well to talk about fine
distinctions In business methods at
th* rigid time As regards a crema
tory that time is past. If Mayor
Woodward would take my place for
s few days and hear the complaint*
about garbage being dumped all
around the city he would want a cre
matory as quick as possible av any
cost.
Face New Conditions.
“I opposed this contract. I voted
against tearing down the old crema
tory. But we are facing new condi
tions to-ihty. We used to dump all
the garbage in one place outside the
city. We were enjoined from that.
Since the old crematory was torn
down we have been forced to dump
It around inside the city. The town
is festering with decaying matter.
There are more tiles right now thun
J ever saw before. We are threaten
ed with hundreds of injunctions.
“That crematory will be ready to
burn garbage in about 30 days. There
is Are in two of the furnaces now,
drying them out. It is one of the
finest garbage destructor plants in
this country. Can‘the question of Its
relation to the health of this city be
compared to any difference over busi
ness methods?
“Let* follow the court urdei and
submit the contract to the people.
They will approve it five to one.”
Work May Continue.
Work may not be stopped at ail on
the plant, which Is being erected on
the city’s property back of the Ter
minal Station b> th** Destructor
Company. of New York
Though the contract is void. Coun
cil is determined to pay for the* plant.
T\ D. Canhiun. in charge of the work,
said he would continue unless slopped
by a court order
On account of the vital health ques
tion involved an effort will be made
to effect a compromise that will al
low the plant to be completed, inde
pendent of the controversy.

The Council finance committee will
meet Friday to make up the June
budget. There is $125,000 already in
the budget fee- a payment on the
