THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS,
TAKE OVER CREMATORY NOW
There ought not to be, THERE MUST NOT BE, any delay in getting the new crematory
plant to work. There ought not to be, THERE MUST NOT BE, ANY DELAY caused by the
splitting of hairs by pestiferous politicians, no matter what office they may hold, in arranging
quickly, honestly and efficiently the taking over of the plant.
It is worse than idle to talk about unimportant phases of the crematory controversy now, or
whether the sum to be paid shall be put into the June sheet, or handled in some other way.
Atlanta is a rich city. There is plenty of money for use to safeguard the health of its citi
zens. When this money is spent, and how it is s pent, so long as it is spent honestly, is a matter
of which the taxpayers care nothing.
Quarrels of politicians must not be allowed to imperil the health of the city. Every possi
ble safeguard must be extended for keeping and preserving the health of the men, women and
children who have made the city of Atlanta great and powerful.
The death of ONE LITTLE CHILD, because of neglect, because of the insanitary
LIFE WORTH MORE THAN DOLLARS
conditions of our city, is too high a price to pay while politicians quarrel and discuss this, that or
the other method of making the city absolutely healthy.
Any half-dozen of the hundreds of men who have made Atlanta great and powerful are able
to handle the financial problem of the purchase of the crematory in a business-like and legal way
after a half hour’s discussion of the subject.
The Georgian believes that it voices the sentiment of THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY when
it says that the time has come to put an end to trivialities in this most important matter.
Human lives can not be reckoned in dollars. The city that fails to protect the lives and
health of its inhabitants is not worthy of a place on the map.
And if quarrelsome politicians insist on standing in the way of this most necessary safe
guarding of public health, then they must be kicked out of the way. Get the crematory NOW—
AT ONCE!
We ask every reader of The Georgian to write letters to their councilmen and to public of
ficials, urging quick action along the lines above suggested.
The beautiful pageant to be pre
sented this afternoon by the patriotic
Habersham Chapter might well be
called that, from the number of
prominent people taking part and the
variety of entertainments furnished,
partakes of the nature of a three-
ring circus. Here is the program:
Baby show, 3 o'clock.
Parade of pageant, 4 o'clock.

Woman Who Lived In a Shoe,” Mrs.

FHIICm BURGLARS
DECLINE WATCHES
Spring Street Operators Take All
Money in Sight, but Leave
Timepieces Behind.
Burglars who oared naught for fine
gold watches operated In Atlanta ear
ly Saturday morning. “Cash only”
wue the slogan of an Intruder who
operated In Spring Street. Having
removed the clothing of hie victim©
to a lower floor, the burglar rifled
them of their money, then folded the
clothes nicely and In tw'o Instances
left gold watches placed upon trie
trousers.
Virgil Jones, of 600 Spring Street,
and Henry H. Hurt, of 648 Spring
Street, were the two men deprived of
money whose watchea were left be
hind. The burglar appropriated $26
belonging to Jones, while Hurt was
the loser of $189.

was the victim of apparently the
tame burglar. This time, though, the
burglar found small change only. He
obtained revenge by taking the
Clothes with him He did not care
for Rigger's watch, and left that.
An effort also was made to rob
the home of S. A. Corker, 640 Spring
/ Street, but the burglar was either
frightened away or found it impossi
ble to gain entrance.
The burglar’s method was to open
a window in the front part of the
house, ascend to the second floor and
Into the bedroom of his victim. He
than returned to the first floor with
the clothing and rifled it of contents.
At the Jones and Hurt homes the
clothing was found piled by the open
window.
