Loading city officials declared Thursday that the oye way to
sottlp the crematory tangle was 1o pay the entire cost of the new
plant this year under a new contract with the De^trucor Com

Mayor Woodward declared he
was willing to buy the Destruc
tor Company's plant on a real
business basis. Alderman Cand
ler said the city must have an
incinerator this summer if ev
erything else had to be sacri
ficed. Councilman Claude L.
Ashley favors buying the plant
straight out. Councilman George
H. Boyutcm agreed with them.
City Attorney James L. Mayson.
after carefully studying the decision
of the Supreme Court holding the old
contract illegal, said it was the sim
plest plan.
Agree Plant Is Necessity.
All agreed that Atlanta must have
a new garbage disposal plant this
summer at all hazards. They argued
th^t 'it' was equally as obvious that
the only possible plant was the De
structor plant. This plant will he
completed within 30 days. The means
.of hqving it completed and put into
use are as follows:
To buy it straight-out.
T<» submit the old contract .to a
vote of the people, when it will
have to he approved by two-
thirds of the registered voters.
Far-citizens to lend the pur
chase price and. without any con
tract. take their chances on being
repaid by Council.
For the Destructor Company to
complete the plant without any
contract and trust to the judg
ments of succeeding Council to
complete the payrpents.
Attorney Mayson said the compli
cations srurounding the latter propo
sitions are so great that the first plan
practically was the only sure way.
Has $125,000 Set Aside.
Council has $125,000 already set
aside for this year's payment on the
crematory. There is $71,000 available
in the June sheet. Councilman Boyn
ton said to-day that the tax books
showed that $50,000 additional could
be added to the increase of revenue.
Money for various improvements is
still unspent and Council has the right
to recall these appropriations. Also,
if a cash payment is to be made, it is
said the Destructor Company will re
duce its original price by some thou
sands of dollars.
The old contract provided for a
1100,000 electric power plant in con
duction with the crematory. But the
coqncilmen say this feature can be
eliminated for the present, in view of
the serious garbage situation.
Expect Mayor to Balk.
A special meeting of the Board of
Health has been called for Thursday
night to consider the whole matter.
The Finance Committee will meet
Friday morning to make up the June
budget. It is expected that by the
time Council meets Monday afternoon
the whole matter will be decided. But
the chances are. small that the mayor
will agree.
Samuel Evins, attorney for the De
structor Company, announced Thurs
day that the company would proceed
With the erection of the plant. The
Suprenjc Court order does not go into
effect for t£n days ami by that time
Council probably will have made a
new contract, thus averting any in
terference in tlie ■ progress of garbage
disposal by the court’s decision. >.
Councilman Ashley, chairman of the
Sanitary Committee.^' d-pt^lurfed that the
'garbage situation was a matter of life
and death. He ssertrd tht unless
the crematory was put into‘Opertutoh
this summer, by fall the people would,

Two Ready to Give $1.00G.
He aqd Councilman Boynton agreed
to start a subscription of $1,000 each

paying them.

in payment on the contract unleag
ordered to do so by the Supreme
Court He holds that the city is
being charged far too much for the
plant.
"It justifies my. nqmerpus attacks
on Council’s business methods.*' he
said to-daty. "I warned them when
they tore down that old crematory
that they would be howling this sum |

“Of course, we must have a crema

am willing to pay them in proportion
to what they received for the Mil

a 36o-ton plant there; ours is a 250-

“There was no question that one

said. "But this decision is that the
appropriation of a sum of money
