 This would also enable the street cleaning department to use its wagons for short hauls only, instead of the long distance covered at present. and a much greater territory could be covered, with greater care"
 The mayor received telegrams yester- day from all the cities which he queried last Friday, including Atlanta, Memphis, Columbus, Ohio; Buffalo, N. r.; Indian apolis, and Milwaukee, stating that they have crematores and find them economi- cal and satisfactory. These teiegrams were sent to those cities corresponding in size to Birmingham, and 1t was shown that this is the only city of like size in the country which has no crematory.
 As soon as Mayor Exum gathers suf- fcient information he will call the legisla- tive committee and steps will be taken to get the crematory matter in definite shape for report to the council.
