4 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.
