Editor The Georgian:
TITH reference to the contro-
w versy that is now going on
between the health board
and certain members OF the alder
manic board relative to the build
ing of new disposal plant or ere
matory for the disposal of the city's
refuse and the present plans of the
health board to demolish entirely
the present crematory. the only one
the city has, before the new build
ing is even begun, beg to say that
as the health of the city is OF para
mount Importance and should be
considered first and above all 9TH
ers, whether financial or political,
the removal Of the present crenla-
tory and the depriving of this city
for any length of time of a plant in
which to dispose of its garbage is
nothing short of a crime.
I am reliably informed that the
present crematory is capable of
burning so per cent of the city's
garbage and was doing this at the
time it was shut down by the board
Of health, and that with slight re-
pairs and intelligent handling can
burn practically all of the refuse.
think it would be we'll for the citi-
Zens as well as the city officials to
consider carefully the plight the
city will be in if they permit the
present crematory TO be wrecked.
And in the Meantime?
First, what is to be done with the
garbage while the new plant is in
course of construction? DR.. Gil
bert says it will be dumped around
the outskirts Of the city and prop
eriY fumigated. What does DR..
Gilbert mean by the outskirts of
the city? As a matter of fact a
part of it is being dumped in the
valley between the end of Forrest
avenue and the west end of Will
lians Mill road and within q few
hundred feet OF the houses Of citi-
zens who, while they can not live on
Peachtree street, are citizens and
pay taxes just the same and death
to them or in their families is just
as much q bereavement as it IS to
their more favored neighbors, the
refuse from whose homes is dump
ed at their doors. l call attention
to this particular dumping ground,
as I know it personally. There
must necessarily be numerous ones
like this about the city and they
must be worked overtime if the
crematory is demolished. Are these
dumping heaps being fumigated?
Go and see. Only last Sunday one
of them caught fire out near Eighth
street and filled the neighborhOod
so full OF foul smoke that it was
necessary for one of the citizens to
come TO the city at midnight Sun
day night and get permission for
the fire department to go out and
extinguish this fire. Where was
DR.. Gilbert and his fuInigating out
fit?
Second, there has been a good
deal said by those interested in
building this new disposal plant
about the danger of dumping the
city's refuse about the city next
summer. Now, assuming that this
new disposal plant is ready to dis
pose of all the refuse by next May,
for which we have no guarantee,
what is going to become of this
garbage that will accumulate in the
time intervening between the de-
struction of the old plant and the
completion Of the new? Is it going
to rot and disappear during the
winter months, or is it not going to
be in just about the proper condi-
ton to rot and putrefy and breed

CRAMPTHREE YEARS

And Thrifty German scrapper Has
Saved Fully 100000 of
His Earnings.

San Francisco. Dec. lad woIgast
has been deprived Of his lightweight
crown. but he has enough of earthly
wares to act as somewhat of a balm
Manager Tom Jones has made the state
ment that during the period of close &c
three years that wolgast was the light
weight champion of the world he made
$40, 900. Half of this big fortune was
made up in purses and the rest was &C
cumulated in bets, theatrical engage
ments, and outside investments.

to, 100000 to-day. He has property in
Los Angeles valued at $500 and he
has his ranch in Michigan. His money
has been wisely invested, and Wolgast
has never handled more than 800 In his
life.
''Wolgast will be one champion who
will not go the ways OF his predecessors.
He is far from through with the box
ing game, and when he does retire he
can settle down and be completely fixed
for the rest of his life" '-
Contrary to the general opinion that
prevails, the lightweight limit will not
be changed. Willie 'Ritchle, the new
worlds champion. and therefore the die
tator in deciding what's what in his
division, has made the statement that II
would remain at 1873 pounds. Champion

that It would be at the ringside.
