A new CRENATORY
VIII Be Recommended to Council by
the Health Committee.
A Site Selected Yesterday, Near
the B. & o. Tunnel - Various
Claims Against the City-Other
City Affairs Considered Last
Night.

The Council Committee on Health
went out to the Peninsula, yesterday
afternoon, and went over the ground
thoroughly in quest of site for new
crematory, now more than ever desir-
able. owing to the partial destruction
of the building on the hilltop, Sunday
night.
After considering the lay of the
land and the Importance of having
the new furnace as close to the city as
possible, the Committee selected a site
on city property on the west side Of thu
Peninsula cemetery, about one hun
dred feet north of the B. & o. tunnel.
A furnace located at this point would
be easy of access by cart or wagon
from the bridge crossing the creek to
the cemetery, and at the same time
would be directly upon the line OF the
Terminal road. The Committee Will
recommend the erection Of a new FUR
mace at this point, and Council will be
asked to authorize the work as soon as
possible. 1t is the intention OF the
Committee to have the grading and
other rough work done by a detach-
ment from the city prison.
The Council Committee on Markets
met last evening and prepared the an
