The supervisors unanimously passed
a resolution yesterday forbidding the
burning of human bodies within the
county after that date, allowing the
odd Fellows ceemtery association
eight months to close up its plant in
the Richmond district.
There was no acrimony in the de-
bates between Richmond residents who
wished the crematory closed and Presi-

the association, but Supervisors Kelly
and Nelson came to a sharp tilt over
the ethics of .-grandstard plays"
A preliminary motion to cut the
time down to January 1 next had been
lost by the votes of IA supervisors
against Nelson, Healy and O'Dowd and
the result declared by Mayor Mccarthy
when Nelson rose to say he really
wanted to stop the nuisance for the.
people.

Kelly in disgust.
What does the supervisor mean by
any game can be played fair 2" asked
Nelson.
Just what I said snapped Kelly,
and Nelson was then silent.
INQUIRIES AGAIN
Later Nelson rose to question of
personal privilege and asked again.
Perhaps my words were stronger
than the occasion required, explained
Kelly, but even at that I don't know

thing A grandstand play after the
supervisor has voted on proposition
