arc lights and need as many more.
The only solution of this matter is to
create an improvement district and
borrow enough money with which to
extend the water mains, install addi-
tional dynamo and generator and put
in more arc lights. 1t is estimated
that 1T will take in the neighborhood
of 100000 to make these improve
ments. The City Council requests
that any citizen who has any advice
to give along this line to do so at an
early date as these improvements
must be made in the near future. Du-
ring the summer months the city fur
nished more than ten million and a
half gallons of water each month, or
100000 gallons every "a hours. Dur
ing the months of September and Dc
tober the Mayors office assessed only
$4,000 in fines, which proves that
there are fewer violations of the law
than formerly The sewer line near
the Methodist Church has sprung a
leak and considerable work is being
done to repair it; this expense, how
ever, is being met by the managers
of the Sewer District. There are a
great many residences in which sew
err connections can not be made on
account of insufficient water supply;
in fact great majority of the resi-
dences in the city are furnished water
through pipes from y of an inch to
Ia inches in diameter and the pres
sure is too weak In overhauling the
waterworks system it will be neces-
sary to replace these small pipes with
2 inch pipes.

Councilman Ashley, After lnspec-
ton, Criticises Carrier System
at Disposal Plant.

Atlanta's new crematory is practi-
ally 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 system.
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. anG at times are at
great angle. making n double strain
on the motors"
