Council Accepts Crematory Rul
ing of Supreme Court—Street
Work Will Suffer.
Public business in Atlanta hereafter
will be done on a cash basis. It mat
ters not whether the projeot involves
the purchase of a new administration
building, the remodelling of an old
one or the repairing of a street—it
must be paid for within the year.
The crematory controversy resulted
in a ruling to this effect by the Su
preme Court and Council has taken
the edict as final.
The only exception to the cash pro
gram is found in the issuance of bonds
and bond issues are so hedged about
with constitutional limitations that
they will be few. Except cases of
bond issue, every contract Atlanta
makes for purchasing or improving
must be paid for out of the revenues
of the year in which the contract and
appropriations are made.
Recognition of this principle actu
ated members of Council in contract
ing for the crematory and appropriat
ing the whole of the $260,000 purchase
monev out of the revenues of 1913.
Alderman John S. Candler, once a
member of the Supreme Court, said
to Council ;
‘The question has been put square
ly up to the courts, and the courts
have decided that public improve
ments must be paid for out of the
revenues of the current year. A bond
Issue is almost impossible, and we
might as well make up our minds
right now that hereafter Atlanta will
do business on a cash basis.”
Mayor Well Pleased.
Mayor Woodward was jubilant over
Council’s realization of the cash rule
neoesslty. "I hope this will be the last
of purchasing by moral obligation,” he
said. “With the Income she has, At
lanta can live on a cash basis, just
like other business Institutions, and
not stand still.”
Judge Candler expressed doubt
about the ability of the city to pro
ceed with public improvements Indefi
nitely on money actually. In hand.
"Few business houses operate on
cash alone,” he said. “But we’ve got
to do It, and we might as well make
up our minds.”
Despite the difficulty of getting a
bond issue approved, leaders are pre
paring to raise money by that meth
od. Judge Candler himself, fully cog
nizant of the legal difficulties to be
encountered, is one of the advocates
of a bond issue.
The crematory will cost $260,000,
and contemplated improvements will
have to be neglected to make the pur
chase. It Is the only way to get the
money. The last budget of the Gen
eral Council appropriated $125,000 for
the crematory. The new budget, it
is expected, will show a surplus reve
nue of approximately $75,000. This
will help some toward the crematory
purchase, but even then there are
other improvements dependent on this
estimated surplus, and these undoubt
edly will have to go by the board.
The remaining $60,000 for the cre
matory. every bit of it, must be with
held from various city departments.
Roads and streets will suffer in the
opinion of many. The street commit
tee had perfected plans with Fulton
County to break all records for road
work. The city was to furnish the
material and the county do the work.
Orville H. Hall, chairman of the
Street Committee, announced that the
purchase of the crematory would ob
struct this program, beoause the city
oould not buy the materials and the
county therefore could not do the
work. Atlanta’s most ambitious
street and road Improvement project
must go by the boards.
Other Projects Abandoned.
Small amounts will be withheld
from the following projects: White
hall Street regTading, calling for $30,-
000; Dargan Place Park, $7,500;
widening Peaehtree, $5,000; three new
schools, $125,000; repairing Ninth
Ward schools, $10,000; Forsyth and
Hunter streets grading, $6,500. Some
of these contemplated public works
will be entirely abandoned; estimates
for practically all the others will be
cut.
"But,” said Chairman Hall, of the
Streets Committee, "we must get the
crematory. I opposed it. and I op
posed tearing down the old one; but
now' the lives of our people must be
safeguarded. Some of the w'ork I ex
pected last year was passed over, and
I know I must give up hope for other
work this year. But It can’t be helped.
We must have the crematory, and it
must be paid for, and this Is the only
way to get It.”

AUGUSTA TO VOTE
AUGUSTA, GA., June 3.—Augusta
will have a commission government
election within the next three weeks,
put on by the city white primary
committee. The charter will be prac
tically the same as the one which was
defeated last year, with the recall
added. It Is recognized that it would
be Impossible to win without the re
call being IB the charter and last year
It lost primarily because the recall
was not In It.
Last year the pfeople who supported
Hayne for Mayor were almost a unit
In favor of commission government,
and those voting for Littleton were
largely against it. This year the con
ditions are reversed.
The Hayne people are on the inside
looking out and do not want commis
sion government, while the Littleton
people are on the outside, looking In
and wish to apply, in effect, the recall
to Mr. Hayne.
If commission -overnment wins it
will go Into effect July 1, 1914.
