After the third act of “Lucia” Tues

of belated ticket purchasers who had
hurried out from their seats to secure,
before it was too late, seats for “La

to draw one of the largest audiences
of the season.
It was the magic of Maria Bar

the “Cruda, funesta, smania” air with
strength and beauty The chorus

heard in another air and the rurtlinl

There were a few lines of recitative,

Dead silence wrapped the Audito

Destructor Company Threatens to
Close Plant Unless City Pays
Court Judgment.
City officials were in a. dilemma
Wednesday over what odo about the
crematory, which again threatens a
violent row,
The notice served on the city by At
torneys Evins & Spence. of the De
structor Company, that the company
will cease to operaie the plant after
May 2, has put it up io the city io ace
cept the plant at once on the terms of
the Destructor Company or go back
to the old insanitary plan of dumping
garbage g
There are declared to be aimost un
surmountable difficuities in the wav of
both plans.
To submit te the decision of United
States Judge Newman without an ap
peal to the Supreme Court would fix
money charges on the city that it ean
not meet at this time, it is said. The
city would have to pay the cost of the
long crematory tria and provide
thousands of dollars to operate the
plant during the remairder of the
vear
All Funds Appropriated.
The city already has appropriated
all available funds., and the only way
to get any money would be to recall
appropriations for improvements now
under way and to cut down mainte
nace expenses of departments 1‘
cording to City Hall opinions |
The only alternative is the dump
pile, a means so insanitary that all
ofMicials are agreed the people of At
lanta and Fulton County would nn'i
tolerate it. |
