children. but bequeathed all her property
10 her adopted daughter, Mrs. Cecilia 8.

Of their mother, Nellie Sheftan Cohen, 10
whom The property had been beqdeathed
in case Mrs. Solomons should have no is
sue
Mr.. J. r. Saussy, who represented the
plaintiffs, contended that adopted children

contrary to the laws OF Georgia. and that
under the law the property belonged TO the
first taker

MANY DOGS TO DESTROY.
Unless the Owners Prefer TO Pay n
Double Tax for Keeping Them,

DouDie INK TOT heepfnR Them.
When the police department begins its
raid for stray dogs, the chances are the
crematory will be taxed. After June / all
owners of dogs who fail to obtain badges
for them Will be required to pay a double
tax as a penalty, and unless the canine is
valuable. the owner is apt to let it go by
default under these circumstances. Many
unclaimed dogs are wandering al large.
much to the dspleasure of the general
public.
Those who have taken the dog census
heretofore say it is impossible to find who
are violating the ordinance in not obtain
ing badges, as dog owners secrete them
during the time the enumerators are gong
their rounds, and in this way dodge the
tax to which they are subject. Ii would
appear that about the only way to get
around those thus inclined would be TO
have the police steadily on guard, and to
send 10 the pound every dog found with
out badge no difference whether the CEN
eus was being taken al that time or not
The ordinance regulating The ownership
of dogs gives the city the right to shoot.
or rather to destroy them after GER
tain time. Those who are trying to pro-
mote health and decency about the city
by the destruction of unclaimed dogs are
anxious to have this part of the law en-
forced.

FAvORs TWO CREMATORIEs.
Alderman Williams Thinks Double
Plan the More Economical.

Alderman Williams Thinks Double
Plan the More Economical.
Alderman Williams favors the building
of two garbage crematories instead of one,
believing this to be the more convenient
plan for the reduction Of garbage, since
the rapid expansion Of the city makes it
costly TO haai the refuse to the suburbs.
Alderman Williams also thinks that Coun-
Gil viii decide this matter at its next meet
ing, and that work on the new building
or buildings will be started very soon.
About seventy wagon loads of garbage
are hauled to the erematory daily by the
scavenger department ,Twenty-threS
wagons are kept going all the while, and
some OF them maui more than an average
of three leads day The department
runs sIeaeily through the week, rain or
shine, and one half of the day on Sunday
is devoted TO clearing away the large gar
bage accumulations of the Saturday pre-
ceding.
When Alderman Williams says ii is the
item Of hauling that prompts him to favor
the construction of two separate crema-
tories, to be located in the most convenient
places TO the sections to be served, it WIN
be seen that there is much upon which to
base this opinion He thinks two plants
could probably be built for about $25 ,000
and thar the amount to be saved in the
hauling will make the expenditure an in
vestment, even though conditions at the
present crematory did not make new one
an absolute necessity.
another important consideration favor
able to the erection of two instead of one
reducing plant" said Alderman Williams,
lis that We win always have one plant
to operate in case Of mishap to either.
If anything happens to the plant the city
now owns the destruction of garbage
comes to a standstill. The Importance or
this will be seen when it is considered
what an embarrassing attitude the city
would be placed in should there be sickness
here when mishap came to the crema-
tory"
There is talk that the crematory will be
removed from its present location, though
this is not certain. 1t is stated the city
owns property in the eastern and western
sections which could be used as locations
for these plants. 1t seems that the board
will favor putting them in these sections
if it decided TO erect two plants, and there
appears to be but little doubt that this will
be the case ,ll
