4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS, TAKE OVER CREMATORY NOW-LIFE WORTH MORE THAN DOLLARS 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 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 kic ked 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.
