Editor The Georgian:
l desire to offer my approval Of
your very sensible and patriotic ed
itorial on the subject of how. when
and why Atlanta should be provid-
ed with new facilities for DESTROY
ing the garbage of the city.
1t seems to me strange that any
man, pretending to be sane. and AT
the same time natri?tic, should OBJ
Ject to the retention Of the old Gre
matory plant for usage while the
new is being built.
The record shows that this plant.

Competent engineers say that for

as to make it do tine work it did
when first built.
Think In the face Of these bold.
undlSputed ractS, the board Of
health has passed an order of con-
demnation that has caused the old
crematory to be shut down. while
the garbage of a city of $4,000 peo-

Did any factory or business in
stitution ever close down the old

business expand under such
senseless rule.

and the board of health make pIars
and conditions ideal for the hatch

carrying flies?
Barn Door" Clause.
Third. We are told that this nav
plant will be ready to operate nevt
May. Does any intelligent man
who has any conception of the nm
dertaking believe this? If the board
Of health believes it, why did thew
not name this date for completion
in the contract, instead of allowiD,
a year of working days with .
barn door clause about freezinc
and rainy days that will allow +be
completion of this plant extended
Indefinitely? Is the CONTRACTING
company or any one else ready to
put up a forfeiture guaranteeing
that the proposed plant will be in
operation by next May?
Fourth. Why destroy the old ere
matory at all? Suppose the com
pany contracting for this new ere
matory should delay the completion
Of 1t for more than a year. which
they can do under their contract
or suppose the new plant would NOT
do the work that 1t is supposed to
do, or assume that 1t does work. but

tory, properly repaired be god

tains Of refuse, already piled IN
about its vacant lots? While wait
ing for this new experiment to be
completed, or even If this new plant
should be "howling success" is
1t not a good plan to have dupIf-
cate or relief plants? We have
them for our lights, our water serv-
ice, etc, to prevent a total shut
down in case Of an accident or nee
essary repairs, and why not for
our disposal plant and our health
Gentlemen, you are simply giving
us another dose Of muddy water as
the water board did some time ago
in order to put on the city a broken
pump. The citizens do not want a
plant built or bought under this
kind of coercion.
The Joker" Power Plant
l might say a great deal about
the amount of money to be paid for
this new plant, and the JOKER
power plant that is to be attached
and how this council proposes to
spend our $4,000 bond money in
such a way that succeeding coun-
ellis will be obliged to pay the bal
ance or get no disposal plant at
all. Or l could make some re
marks about DR.. Gilbert and the
board of health arbitrarily shutting
down the present crematory I'm the
midst of its usefulness on the pre-
text that because it needs a few
repairs it is absolutely useless. but
I am interested at present in pre-
venting its being destroyed and in
having it put back in commission.
and I believe that if the citizens
will wake up to what they are be-
ing led into and to their duty. this
crematory will never be destroyed.
and if they will make a little in
vestigation into this matter. they
will find that the old crematorv
is in the way of the new one in
more than one way. Yours very
truly, DIR. j. T. FLOYD.

thick lips, and swore like troop

Faugh, if they were alive now
we'd segregate them With the rest

nonsense! They were clever WON

there wasn't anything else for them

Love was Woman's business in
those days, and q very coarse kind
of business you would find ii. too.

it.
Tho only way a woman could be
somebody in dem days. as Uncle

their feet burt, and they didn't

good decent honest love affair be-

Changed the Ships.

The japanese found that steel
battleships were preferable to war
junks, and they discarded the
Junks and adopted the battleships
Just as the American Indian drop
ped his bows and arrows to learn
to shoot with the white mans gun.
They find that automobiles are a.
good thing for fast journeys, and so
they have automobiles; but they
also find that the jinricksha is very
suitable for their use, and they re-
tain the jinricksha, simply max
ing it over with Western tools and
modern materials. And it is certain
that Admiral Togo will continue all
his life to ride in his baby car
riage," while his countrymen will
applaud and admire him wherever
he appears.
