Ineendiarism Is Responsible For In
creased Number Of Fires.

New York, Feb. 4.-The spread of
incendiarism during 1912 gave the

sI2,470.s06 in 1911. One-fourth the to-
tai loss. the report says, was due "a

Attorney Scores Mayor.
George Spence, one of the attorneys
for the Destructor Company, said that
Mayor Woodward might as well have
turned the whole contract over to
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany as to offer to sign a new contract
drawn by three of six attorneys he
named. The attorneys all represent
the power company, according to Mr..
Spence.
Mayor Woodward asserted the Gre
matory matter had been talked to
death, but that all the talking would
not convert him to the wishes of the
Destructor Company. He said he
was willing to pay $260,000 for the
plant, although that was too much;
but that he would sign no contract
until one was drawn formally and
legally.
"They can settle this matter in half
an hour when they are ready to come
to that" he said.

WRIT To HALT GARBAGE
DUMPING THREATENED;
HEAL TIL PROBLEM crows

Notification that an injunction suit
against the Milton Avenue refuse cen
ter would be filed against the city
caused Sanitary Chief John Jentzen
to declare Friday that such a course
would paralyze his department. He
said the city had run its course in
securing places, and action on the
part of citizens to stop them would
mean the creation Of a serious health
problem.
This development and the deelara-
ton of the attorneys for the Destruc-
tor Company that, while the inciner-
ator would be ready for use within
ten days, they would not turn it over
to the city until they had assurance
Of getting their money, has alarmed
city officials. A special meeting of
the Board of Health Immediately was
called for o'clock Friday afternoon.
DR.. w. L. Gilbert, ex-president of
the board, said:
Il will introduce a resolution call
ing on Mayor Woodward to stop his
stalling and settle this controversy.
/ hope he'll be present. We are go
ing to show the people where the
blame lies"
Crisis Admits of No Delay.
While Council practically is unani-
nous on a contract, the action of AL
derman Harwell in moving a recon-
sideration and the opposition of the
Mayor viii delay final action for a
month. That means that during the
coming month of the hottest season
of the year and when there is most
garbage, the crematory cannot be put
into use
It seems that further efforts at a
compromise are useless, but the
arousal of private citizens to de-
termination to enjoin dumping gar
bage as a nuisance brings before the
officials a situation that will admit
no delay. They all agree that the
new crematory must be put into
operation at the earliest possible
moment.
Attorney Thomas Goodwin, repre-
senting Robert Shivers and others,
said Friday he would Immediately file
an Injunction against the city for
dumping garbage at Milton Avenue
and the Belt Line Railroad. He said
he would go before the Board of
Health and explain his intention.

TAX REVISION IS
URGED To PAY
TEACHERS
Men to Head Committees in the
House and Senate Favor 1t.
All See Need of Action.

With sentiment in Senate and
House virtually unanimous that some
system must be devised to provide
for the prompt payment of the coun-
try school teachers the States most
neglected employees. indications are
that the matter viii receive early
consideration.
The relief of the teachers, lobby
gossip has 1t, will not come in any
way but by tax revision, and it is
generally understood legislators who
are foremost in urging that the
teachers be paid are bending their
energies to obtain an early consider
alton of the tax revision measure.
The brunt of the work Of shaping
measures to revise the tax system,
and incidentally to pay the teachers,
falls upon the chairman Of the House
Ways. and Means Committee and the
chairman Of the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
1t is said that the men slated for
these positions, Representative L. r.
Akin and Senator B. s. Miller, heart
lily favor some arrangement whereby
the teachers can be paid. and are
willing to increase the tax rate to get
tue money.
Representative Akin is a consistent
advocate of a plan to pay the teach
ers each year upon the completion Of
their work instead of forcing them to
wait six and eight months. He de-
clares the depleted treasury. which
makes it impossible to handle the
States financial affairs, is a direct
result of Georgia's unsatisfactory tax
system.
Though sentiment is in favor of a
plan to pay the teachers, Represen-
tatives and Senators differ on the
method. Three plans have been ad-
vanced. They will be threshed out
and the best parts of each embodied
in a bill.
Many members think the necessary
procedure is to revise the tax system
far enough to force property owners
to make a fair return of their prop
erty; others are willing that the tax
rate should be increased temporarily
until the arrears of the teachers have
been paid, and others maintain that
relief will better come by cutting
down appropriations and putting the
teachers ahead of the other employees
of the State.

Just before the terms expire, the
