GARBAGE CREMATORY GOES
The Commissioners Say the Nal
OdOrOus Plant Cannot Remain.
Makes No Difference, They Say,
whether 1t Is Sanitary or Not,
IfIt Is Il Nuisance.

The Commissioners have held another
board meeting regarding the disposition
of the District garbs ge, in which Inventor
Smith, of the Smith crematoIy, appeared
before them TO urge the retention of his
plant, but a the close OF a long discussion
the board decided to adhere to its former
decision, that is, that the crematoTy back
OF the old observatory must be abandoned
as soon as possible.
AR Smith contended that his crematory
had not had thorough test. Among other
things, he claimed that the holes in the
creu.atory were round while the carts We're
square, and that in dumping some Of the
garbage was left on the outside, thus Gre
ating the offensive smell which had been
complained Of.
Commissioner Wight, however, replied
that he had visited the CTeuatory aud 'iad
sccn the garbage put into the furnaces, and
he was certain that none of the oGOrs cs-
capped in this process.
Hr. Smith then proceeded TO argue tLat
however much OdOrs might escape from
his plant, IL was far from Unsan.tary, and
started TO prove II, but the Commissioners
objected that they did not care If 10 could
be proven that the CrematOry was sanitary
or otherwise. The fact remained that the
citizens la the neighbOThood of the plant
were complaining very bitterly against
the contractor being allowed to burn
garbage there, aud this was sufficient for
them to order its discoutinuance.
Health officer Woodward, who was
called in 10 hear Mr. Smiths claims, con
Cured in this decision, but was also
firmly convinced that the odOrs in them
selves are in njuTiOus to health.
Garbage Contractor Warfield was also
present at the hearing as, If the COnInls-
sioners had decided to allow toe Cr-natoTy
10 continue, ii would be necessary for him
to submit a written proposition regarding
other means OF d.spgsing OF the city refuse,
as he had on a former interview with Com
missioner Wight agreed 10 do. As, how
ever, it is now finally decided that the
use Of the plant must be discontinued
Nj Warf,cld win proceed To perfect the
details Of the plan, which, he says, Will
he submitted in few days
In speaking about the matter to a Times
reporter he said that the outline Of his
stNeiLc, as Pdtil>HeC IN the udily pHpeIs'
were In the main correct, but that he
had not as yet fully determined upon the
minor details. III particular he has not
yet fixed upon proper size for his
down-the-riveT plant.
The Commissioners did not fix any time
limit 10 t!leiT order directing that the plant
lie abandoned, merely stipulating that Il
must be as soon as possible. As Mr. Smith,
however, erected the Crematory and nf-
fered its use To- the contractor subject To
the indorsemeuJ Of the Commissioners, it
is highly probable that he will refuse 70 al
low it's further use, In which event the
substitute plan viii have to be put in
working order very speedily.

morning that the court in general term

new set of rules for the conduct of the

tee of three of which Justice Hagner Is
the chairman.

closely the authority of the warden. None

ham, who Is at present out or the city,
We're IN attendance upon the session and

was the outcome uf the recent inyestiga-
ti0n ;uto the conduct II Warden Leonard.
when the ouJcry was made over the al

Leonard, that the scope of his authority
WAS too wide, and the possibilities for
discrimination between prisoners too great
