3 THK ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. mm OFFICIALS Payment of the Entire Cost, Even if Other Work Is Sacrificed, Declared To Be Only Solution of Tangle Following Court Ruling. Leading city officials declared Thursday that the one way to settle the crematory tangle was to pay the entire eost of the new plant this year under a new contract with the Destrueor Com pany, of New York; and they further asserted they believed coun cil would pursue that course at a sacrifice of other special im provements.

ATLANTANSVIEW JACKSON TO ENTER F 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. Boynton agreed with them. Otty Attorney James L. Mayson. after carefully studying the decision f>f 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 that it was equally as obvious that the only possible plant was the De structor plant. This plant will be completed within 30 days. The means of having it completed and put into use are as follows: To buy it straightout. To submit the old contract to a vote of the people, when it will have to be approved by two- thirds of the registered voters. For 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 payments. 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 $125,060 Set Aside. Council has $125,000 already set *side 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 stilt 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 $100,000 electric power plant in con- juction with the crematory. But the councilmen say this feature can be eliminated for the present, in view of the serlqus 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 ^re small that the mayor will agree. Samuel EviVis, attorney for the De structor Company, announced Thurs day that the company would proceed with the erection of the plant. The Supreme Court «order does not go into effect for ten dkys and by that time Council probably will have made a new contract, thus averting any in terference in the progress of garbage '^disposal by the court's decision. Councilman Ashley, chairman of the Sanitary Committee, declared that the garbage situation was a matter of life and death. He sperted tht unless the crematory was put into operation this summer, by fall the people would be dying like flies. Two Ready to (Jive $1,000. He and Councilman Boynton agreed to start a subscription of $1,000 each by which citizens would buy the plant and take their chances on Council re paying them. In striking contrast to the attitude of alarm of the councilmen was the smile of Mayor Woodward. Council overrode his position on - the crema tory issue at every turn but he held out that he would never sign a check No. 5 Swift's SILVER LEAF LARD No. 5 Morell's kettle- rendered Leaf Lard.

He holds that the city is being charged far too much for the plant. "It justifies my numerous attacks on Council s business methods," he said to-day. "I warned them when they tore down that old crematory that they would be howling this sum mer that we had no crematory. 1 now inform them that I am going to break that $100,000 fire alarm con tract and prevent any other moral obligation contracts going through. Calls Ruling Far-Reaching. "Of course, we must have a crema tory. I am willing to buy the De structor plant on a business basis. 1 am willing to pay them in proportion to what they received for the Mil waukee plant. They got $200,000 for a 300-ton plant there; ours Is a 250- ton plant. ’’ City Attorney Mayson said the Su preme Court’s decision was far reach ing. "There was no question that one Council could not bind another," he said. "But this decision is that the appropriation of a sum of money which would tend to make succeeding Councils appropriate money for the same purpose tends toward coercion and is, therefore, illegal."
