CREMATORY IS UNHEALTHY. A Physician and Several Citizens Testify Regarding the Classes
 That ESeane

Residents in the neighborhood of the plant of the Sanitary Reduction Works of San Francisco are determined that their health and lives shall not be jeopar- dized by the proximity of the company s crematory. Affidavits in the suit of August Vetter against the company, in which 1t is sought to force the company to adopt methods that will not endanger the health of the community, were filed yesterday.
 Dr. John T. Davis. a well-known chem ist and physician, in his affidavit stated that he had investigated. the matter in- volved and had found that through the incineration of refuse, dead animals, tin cans and garbage many poisonous gasses, including carbonic oxide, nitrous oxide carbonic acid and marsh gas, to- gether with many metallic oxides, were found. These the physician declared were especially poisonous to those predisposed to bronchial affections and dangerous in general to the health of the community. Many residents of the district around the crematory also made affidavits of the foul odors that emanate from the stack of the crematory. The case will be tried in a few days.

posed by J. H. Woodland to Dick Mo- Donald in the following letter:

LOS ,1NGI5 ANGELES cql;, Aug 5' 1892 1892 h. cisco Ca%Deaar f SIT shGe fiend wrl[Fs of ni0e X1e here that General Sherman has evolved a new scheme for handling the electric property. and that is to issue a bond of England This scheme for relieving the necessities of the electric company is of the sort that Is practiced by saloon keep CTS in curing a man of delrium tremens- giving him more whisky as remedy for his frfghtful condition. Of course, If this scheme could be carried out it would re- qutre another exchange of bonds. and by the time the exchange was half made that condition might be relieved by exc outing a new mortgage of seven or ten millions.
 l am satisfied that if he is left alone it won't take him a great while to ex- plode the whole scheme himself, Wheth- the result is that those who hear of what they deem his Vagaries' now understand how he has gone htng from one scheme to another. believing all the time that the more obligations he could issue the richer he would be. If his mind Is, not now unbalanced 1t seems to me that 1t has been moving in an eccentric orbit, and the quicker you sit on him the bet ter 1t will be for all concerned. Yours truly. J. H. WOODARD.
 The Call will publish tomorrow morning another scathing criticism of Sherman's great project by George M. Mitchell, who was a trusted employe of the McDonalds. Mitchell not only described to his employers the true na- ture of their investment, but he drew a character sketch of the three great figures in the financial tragedy, Moses H. Sherman, his formidable antagonist, J. F. Crank, and the merciless critic of both, J. H. Woodland. The public will find great interest in the characteriza- tion of these men by men who knew them well

WHAT THE ROAD WAS REALLY
 WORTH.

As the Electric Company has never earned operating, expenses. and in my opinion cannot do so in the next five years, it may be valued only for such an amount as its tracks and cars and ma chinery could be sold for as second hand material, and what could be realized from the sale of the power-house grounds and buildings. At the most liberal estimate not over $500 900 could be realized now, while the tracks and equipment are com. paratively new and good. This. then, re- duces the assets to secure s, 900 900 of 6 per cent bonds to $S36, ,0O0, if they were realized upon to-day If the electric plant has. to be operated until a foreclosure can be had of the cable mortgages (not less than two and half years) the electric plant will be practically worn out and its debts will be far in excess of what could be realized upon it.
 I am aware that quite number of hold CTS of the Cable bonds as well as the Electric bonds, went into the pooling scheme with the belief that 1t would re- quire only few months to place the Gable property. with its revenues, in the hands of the manipulators of the Electric scheme; but certainly Judge Allen, MT. Mckee and D. s. Dorn must have known

that such a thing could not be done. Hence. when any figures as to the earning capacity are made, the cable lines cannot be included, because no man can assert that the Electric Company will ever have control of them. l am confident, from what I know now, that if the courts should declare that the mortgage of the Los Angeles Cable Railway Company is a lien of the Pacific Railway Company s mortgage, the property will be re deemed from the purchasers under the foreclosure of the prior lien and that the Electric Company will be entitled to re- ceive from the redemptioners only $56O, GOO for their $500 ,o00 of bonds. If on fore closure the Electric Company l ds less than 900 the redenptioners will have less to pay. Indeed. it is impossible that the cable property should ever come into the possession of the Electric Company.
 We now come to the practical question, in which you are interes ted : "Can the Pa cifc Bank or the railway sell its conso-i,, dation bonds of the new issue In England or in any other market under the existing conditions?" l tell you what you will learn later on-that it cannot do 1t: The real condition of affairs will be looked Into by investors, and when they are ad- vised of the facts they will buy. no bonds. investigation will disclose all 1 have written to you and so much more that you will regret that you offered the bonds In any market
