MAYOR SCORES
HIS ACUSCERS
AS LIARS
Abandons "POlite Words" in De-
nying Charge That He Opposes
CrematOry to Aid Power Co.

Mayor James G. Woodward Thurs
day branded as infamous liars all
persons who persist in attributing his
opposition to the crematory contract
to desire to help the Georgia Rail-
way and Power Company.
Polite and parliamentary denials of
the charge that he opposes the crema-
tory because it embraces in its plans
an electrical plant and repeated dis
avowals Of any connection with the
power company have failed to prevent
anonymous charges of Interior mo-
tives against him, the Mayor said.
If they won't take polite language.
I'll have to hand it to them more for
chilly, - said the Mayor. And he did.
Il have said time and again that the
electrical plant had nothing to do with
my position regarding the crematory,"
the Mayor continued. II have nothing
either for or against the electric plant
Inc power company has fought me
and | have said time and again that
am not .rying to help them. l don't
owe them anything except a fair deal
The situation is this: l want a
contract Independent OF the one the
courts enjoined. and | want a water
proof bond to protect the city. | take
1t that the papers before me now have
possible loopholes in them. When the
courts enjoined the first contract the
General Council asked the Destructor
Company for a proposition The prop
osition was made and the General
Council accepted it, This proposition
continually regards the contract of
1912, which the courts enjoined. ]
don't see why they can't write out a
contract complete in itself. If con-
tract like this is presented to me l
will sign 1t.
Since | have said repeatedly that
this was what | insisted on / see no
grounds for repeating the charges tina.
| am acting in the interest of the
power company. Those who do repeat
them are liars, and l have no objec-
ton to your printing that"
On account of Alderman j. H Har-
wells motion to reconsider the Gre
matory proposition will not be Off
cially before the Mayor until July 10.
Until that time, the Mayor said, it
would be advisable to indulge in less
palaver and elimination.

icy is to treat everybody in the city
alike. When they cut at a few places.
we met the cut, and pursuant to our
policy. gave the same cut prices to
everybody in the city. We always
do that"
In direct reply to this is the charge
that the Atlantic is a trust and has
suppressed competition in Atlanta,
Augusta, Rome and Jacksonville and
is attempting to do the same thing in
Macon This charge was brought by
the Southern Ice & Coal Company,
which has secured an order from the
Superior Court enjoining the At
lantic from further reducing prices
until a court hearing on July rs. II
was charged that because the South
ern would not sell out to the trust,
the rates were cut 10 such an ex-
tent that ice was selling at ruinous
prices.
Restrained in Chattanooga.
Mr.. Baker admitted ice was selling
too low IN Macon and said it would
advance. He laughed at the South
ern Company's suit saying they

It Is, no doubt, true that one cent

see no popular demand for a change

that this will help any considerable

extent Is an erroneous one. The latter
postage bill OF the average family per
annum Is only about fifty cents. This
is not bunden on anybody but, for

We should kick very strenuously when
We can send letter with speed from
Boston TO San Francisco for two

benefited by Il reduction in letter
postage will be the big mail order

who have volumes Of correspondence.
1t will not benefit the average family
sufficiently to make the plan popular
when II Is considered from all angles.
