ASSERT CITY OFFICIALS
Payment of the Entire Cost, Even if
Other Work Is Sacrificed, Declared
To Be Only Solution of Tangle
Following Court Ruling.
Leading oily officials declared Thursday that the one way to
settle the crematory tangle was to pay the entire cost of the new
plant this year under a new contract with the Deatrucor 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.

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 ter ds toward coercion
and is. therefore illegal.**
straight out. Councilman George
H. Boynton 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
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 sruroundlng 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
$100,000 electric power plant in con-
Juction with the crematory. But the
i ouncilmen 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 Evlns, 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
v effect for ten days and by that time.
V’ouncil probably will have made £
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 sserted tht unless
the crematory was put into operation
this summer, by fall the people would
•be dying like flies.
Two Ready to Give $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
.*mile of Mayor Woodward. Council
overrode his position on the crema
tory issue at every turn but he held
out that he would neyer sign a check
