THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 3 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.

"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 T OP group, left to right: Mrs. John M, Slaton, Miss Hildreth Burton-Smith, Marshall Adair, in a scene from * the play.
