TUP ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND 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 spent, so long as it is spent honestly, is a matter
of whic hthe tax payers care nothing.
Quarrels of politicians must not be allowed to imperil the health of the city. Every possi
ble safeguard must be extended for keping and preserving the health of the men, women and
children wha have made the city of Atlanta great and powerful.
The loss of the life, 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 sntiment of THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY when
it says that the time has come to put an end to trivalities in this most important matter.
Human lives can not be reckoned in dollars. The city that fails to protect the lives and
realth 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
guard 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.
FINICAL BURGLARS
DECLINE ITCHES
Spring Street Operators Take All
Money in Sight, but Leave
Timepieces Behind,
Burglars who cared naught for fine
gold watches operated In Atlanta ear
ly Saturday morning, “(’ash only”
wan the slogan of an intruder who
operated in Spring Street. Having
removed the clothing of his victims
to a lower floor, the burglar rifled
them of their money, then folded the
clothes nicely and in two instances
left gold watches placed upon the
trousers.
Virgil Jones, of 600 Spring Street,
and Henry H. Hurt, of 548 Spring
Street, were the two men deprived of
money w r hose watches were left be
hind. The burglar appropriated $26
belonging to Jones, while Hurt was
the loser of $189.
H. Rigger, of 112 Pulliam Street
was the victim of apparently the
same burglar. This time, though, the
^>urglar found small change only. He
obtained revenge by taking the
clothes with him. H»' did not care
for Rigger’s watch, and left that.
An effort also was made to rob
the home of S. A. Corker, 540 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
then 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.
