&c WAGE IS LIKELY
To BE MENACE
IN SUMMER
Mayor Positive Crematory Will
Be Blocked, Leaving City
Without Disposal System.

The $4,000 crematory fight reached
the stage today where 1t was quite
clear that the proposed plant would not
be built during Mayor WoodWard's ad-
ministration without a court order de-
handing the mayors signature or u
vote by the people indorsing the pro-
posed plant Mayor Woodward de-
clared that these were the only alter
natives to his present course.
With such a division there is no hope
of any garbage disposal system next
summer. In the hot weather the gar
bage will be dumped on the outskirts
of the city. as is being done now.
1t is hard to realize now what a Sc
rious condition the city will face during
the summer.
A bitter fight to settle the proposition
viii be begun in council this afternoon
with the reading of Mayor Woodward's
message vetoing the budget because it
carries a $4,000 appropriation for the
plant
Expect to Override Veto.
The councilmen expect to override the
MAYORS veto. Mayor Woodward de-
clared today he was positive his dis
approval Of the budget would be sus
tanned by the aldermanic board and that
he expected council to uphold him.
If both branches of council should
override him he declared, he would go
to the courts and get a permanent in
junction against the building Of the
crematory on the grounds that the NOR
al obligation contract was illegal.
With the health boards approval. the
Destructor Company has informed
council that it will be ready to burn
garbage by May 1. regardless of coun-
ellis action. Mayor Woodwards reply
to this announcement is that he will
seek an injunction if the company starts
work.
Threatens lizard Blows
MY opposition to that plant is that
it will cost entirely too much" said
Mayor Woodward today. II am going to
strike some hard blows at the men who
are fighting for the appropriation"
Declaring he was well pleased with
the progress the committee is making
in drafting a new charter, Mayor
Woodward said a handful Of disgrun-
tied politicians who had no influence
with the people were brewing a plot to

General Evans Big
Factor in Move.

General Evans largely was instru-
mental in obtaining a brigade post for
Atlanta. Major General Leonard Wood
came to Atlanta on an inspection trip
last fall and repeated his visit few
weeks later. He made a strong recon-
mendation to the war department that
such a post be established here. Cen
eral Evans went several weeks ago to
Washington for a conference of army
leaders, and it was then decided that
sweeping changes must be made in the
mobile army
The changes here will make neces-
sary the enlargement of grounds, the
erection of new buildings and the pur-
chase of new equipment.
Provision for the tactical organiza-
ton of the army into three divisions
was made in an order of President Taft
just made public. Hitherto there has
been no tactical organization higher
than a regiment There have been no
brigades or divisions in time of peace.
