CREMATORY FOR GARBAGE
Alameda Trustees Consider a
Plan for Burning the
Refuse.
Trouble Over the Electric Light
Injunction - Native Sons
Celebrate.

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 24.--John o.
Titlow, a Bay Farm islander, appeared be-
fore the Board of Trustees last night, and
with a document signed by many other
islanders protested against the suggestion
of Superintendent of Streets Frodden re-
garding the extension of the dumping
grounds. He argued that the proper
thing to do would be to establish crema-
tory and add another improvement to the
city's already fine appearance. The estab-
lishment of crematory seemed to meet
with the approval OF the board and Trus-
tee Clark suggested that bids be advertised
for. The board, however. decided to allow
the dumps to remain where they were at
the foot of Prospect street and have the
Board of Health take up the crematory
project.
Electric Injunctions.
ALAMEDA, CAL, March 24.-City At
torney Taylor at the meeting of the City
Trustees last evening used some pretty
strong language when giving his views on
the electric-light injunction proceedings,
which he characterized as lone of the most
infamous things that citizen has ever in
flicted on the city of Alameda" He de-
clared that the nature of the injunction
was such that the board could not lay an
other shingle on the roof OF the annex to
the old electric works, and that the ma
chinery would be exposed to the dampness
and rain.
81 don't think Judge Frick knew any,
thing about the state of affairs existing
here" said he, land my purpose Will be to
inform him as soon as can do so."
The men and contractors on the work
are still employed and going ahead with
their duties. The contractor for the frame
structure in course of erection there SAYS
that the $500 cash bond would be but a
drop in the bucket in comparison to the
outlay and amount involved in his con-
tract and he does not consider it necessary
to stop work. There is talk of increasing
the bonds of the plaintiffs to $25, 900.
Natives Celebrate.
