The City Crenatorv.

Charles Hamilton, Of the firm of
Hamilton Bros, contractors announced
yesterday that the remodeling of the
city crematory would soon be COM
pleted, and that fires could be started
in the furnaces by Saturday. This will
create great satisfaction in city hall
circles, as it was feared that the re-
pairs would not be finished in time to
handle the summer garbage. The large
furnace has been practically rebuilt
and several thousand fire brick were
used in the repairs. The flue was made
longer, being extended across the road
to a new stack which gives greater
draft to the furnace. The many i'm
portant changes and additions were
put in at a cost of trifie over $4,000
and all the city garbage can now be
easily consumed by the plant.
