GROUNDS
REUSED
Councilman Ashley, After lnspec-
ton, CritiCises Carrier System
at Disposal Plant.

Atlanta's new crematory is practi-
calIy out of operation and Monday
the carts were turned to the old
dumping grounds with their loads of
garbage This was the report made
to Mayor Woodward by Councilman
Claude Ashley Monday, following a
visit by him to the crematory. and
criticism of the plants collapse was
widespread.
In his talk with the Mayor, Mr..
Ashley severely criticised the ar
rangements by which the garbage is
transported from the pit to the fur
naces. and offered the suggestion that
travelling cranes be substituted for
the present sy=SGTS.
The system of handling the gar
bage in use now keeps one spot in the
pit clean, but fails to properly remove
the garbage along the sides OF the
pit" he said
Double Strain on Motors.
A great many cables have been
broken on the buckets used. while the
heavy strain burns out the motors
rapidly. The system in use Is similar
to the trap-stick system, having a
bucket on each end. The buckets are
swung out, and at times are at q
great angle making a double strain
on the motors"
They are three months behind OF
their promises. and the plant is prac.
tically a standstill," said the May
or, sarcasticalIy. why. they said
they would have one unit OF the plant
ready by June and the entire plant
completed by June Is. Here It is
three months after the time promised
not even working the one unit prom
ised for June /.
Someone asked me the other day
why we were raising 50 much of a
row about the crematory. Well,
think when thing costs a city $3.50
900 that we are entitled to raise :
row if the thing is NOT what Il should
be.
Forfeit 9 Mere 5ageteiIe.
If we can save the city $4,000 in
the cost of this plant ! think we Will
he doing well. And until this plant is
in perfect working order we are GO
ing to continue to raise row.
THE contract called for the turning
over of the plant 10 the city August
is and a forfeit OF $Z5 a day for each
days delay. A month has passed
since the final date and while We
have a forfeit of $25 o day charged
against the manufacturers the tote
sum of it but q drop in the bucket
compared to what we expect to save
the city on this plant"
Mayor Woodward some time age
appointed Frank Lederle as the engI-
neer to represent the city in test
run of the plant The plant has not
yet been turned over to Lederle for
