Atlanta, Ga, June Charges Of ir-
regularities in the conduct of Oakland
cemetery were preferred against the city
sexton. T. A. Clayton. by the cemetery
committee at the meeting of the city
council this afternoon. The trouble was
disclosed some days ago, and Mr.. Clay
ton was given an opportunity to explain,
but the members Of the committee claim
that he did so very unsatisfactory. This
investigation was conducted in a quiet
manner.
The charges are that Mr.. Clayton has
been taking private contracts. and in
paid by the city were made to do the
work, and material owned by the city
used and the money accruing therefrom
not turned over to the municipality, but
kept by Mr.. Clayton himself. Many of
these contracts were for building graves
sexton, instead of building them with
eight-inch walls as has been the univer-
sal custom from time immemorial has
been building only fOur-inch walls, and
when the top was reached adding another
row of bricks to make the walls appear
eight inches thick.
At a meeting of the committee Mr.. Clay
ton appeared and acknowledged that he
had used brick and cement belonging to
the city, but said that he did il openly
and with every intention of replacing it,,
and would promptly do so. The commit
tee called for the suspension of Mr.. Clay
ton until the Irregularities could be in
vestigated and reported upon, which was
done. Mr.. Clayton, whose successor is
soon to be elected by council declares
that his political enemies are prosecuting
him to secure his defeat for reelection.
