San says: "Mr. Alfred j. Ulman says much in
dignation is expressed by those living in the neigh

Baltimore county the east side of Charles street.
between Seventh and Eighth streets, just beyond
| Huntingdon avenue. He states that the property
on which the crematory is to be built has been
bought, but the title has not yet been given
There are at present no houses Immediately ad-
joining the lot, but many parties intended build
ing near the site, and it is said they have now
abandoned all thought of carrying out their in
tentions. 1t is claimed by the opponents of the
crematory that in furtherance of the desire to
make cremation fashionable, the directors of the
company are about to place the furnace for the
incineration of human bodies on the most fash
ionable avenue out of Baltimore Mr. Ulman
states that the president of the board of directors
of the cremation company told him and Mr.. Chas.
Lord that on the payment of good round sam
by those interested in Charles street avenue prop
| erty and surroundings the proposed site would be
| given up by his company and site selected else
where"
1t has since been stated that the officers of the
cremation company have no desire to infringe
upon the rights of the property owners in that
prominent section of the suburbs and it is likely
that the gentlemen having the matter in charge
tion for the furnace can be secured elsewhere.
