DOUBLE cREMAroRY

Among the first improvements to
be made by the new city council
will be an addition doubling the
present capacity of the crematory,
which is altogether inadequate
now for the great amount of in
GENERATING work required of it. The
city beautiful committee started
the movement 2 months ago by
communicating with the council and
recommending the Improvement.
The health department added it's
voice to the city beautiful request.
The present crematory was some
what of an experiment and is NJ
ton affair which really was built
by the Decarie Co. on plans to ac-
commodate city of not more than
10000 inhabitants. However. it
was so erected that the capacity OF
the plant could be doubled. The
plant thus far has proven satisfac-
tory and a cheap investment, ac-
cording to report of the health
department. The working ex-
pense is nominal.
