COUNCIL WILL
BUY CREMATORY;
GREATLY NEEDED
WILL INSTALL ISCNERATTNG
PLANT HERE.

An important subject discussed last
night at the meeting of city council
was the installation of crematory, or
incinerating plant, for the disposal Of
trash and garbage, and while final ac-
tion was not taken at this meeting
the subject was referred to commit
tee for immediate investigation and
report. City Physician D. B. Mayes ex-
planned to council the pressing need
for a crematory, while Mr.. A. C. FELTON,,
Jr., of Macon, sales agent for such
plants also addressed that BODY as to
cost, operation, etc.
Such plant as required here will
cost, installe, $500. 1t is entirely
odorless, and would be passed by with
out attracting notice from that source.
All trash, garbage and carcasses of
dead animals are quickly and effective
ly consumed.
Alderman Harris told of an inspec-
tion he had made recently of a similar
plant at Albany, which has been in
operation for a year, and gives entire
satisfaction. Any ordinary day laborer
can operate such a plant, thus reduc-
ing this cost to the minimum of a few
dollars monthly. No fuel is required.
the trash raked up in the streets suf-
ficing,
Americus needs an incinerating plant
very much, indeed, and the installa-
tion of one seems imperative. Just
now the city has no adequate dumping
ground for garbage, while the DISPOSE
ton of dead animals presents even a
more serious problem. Health condi-
tlons would be greatly improved, it is
urged, by the installation of an incin-
Grating plant where all refuse can be
quickly and effectively burned to
ashes.
A committee from council will in
'pect the Albany crematory and re-
bort thereupon at the next meeting of
hat body.

AMEND CHARTER
AFFECTING ELECTION MEMBERS
EDUCATION BOARD.

AT the meeting of city council last
night the bill now pending in the gen.
eral assembly respecting the manner
of electing members of the Americas
Board of Education, was discussed al
considerable length, and while some
of the features suggested met the ap-
proval of council, the measure as q
whole met with decided objection at
the hands of that body. Instructions
were given to apprise our immediate
representatives in the house regarding
the Objectionable features of the pro-
posed measure, and if necessary, a
committee from council will appear
before the house committee of the leg
islature in regard thereto. One effect
of the bill would, under certain condi-
tions, take out of the hands of city
council the selection and election Of
members of the Board of Education
and accord that right to the board

CALL FOR SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 15.-
Official admission of the fact that re-
cruiting has been failing to maintain

delay to replace those fallen at CALI
poli,' he announced in Parliament.

nearly 1000 short of the requirements
To maintain the units now at the
front, Australia is pledged to pro.
vide at least $500 soldiers, and these
men must have at least three months
experience before embarkation.
He announced tha tthe minimum
height standard of it. in, was to
be reduced one inch, and he urged the
newspapers to print standing notice
at the head of their columns, dealing
with the standards for enlistment and
the rates of pay.
Up to this time the public has been
led to believe that the government was
getting all the recruits it could
handle owing to the fact that there is
but one factory in the Commonwealth
turning out rifles with which to arm
them, but it appears now that the
great want is men.
Joseph Cook, the leader of the OPP
position in Parliament and former
minister of defense, declared that
Australia was not by any means doing
its best "The empire" he said,
%would take quarter of million
men if Australia could train and
equip them. ! am not so sure whether
the time has not arrived for the reg
istration of all men under 60 years OF
age"

 Money for the State.

Hartford, Jan. 6.-Civil Service Commissioners Morris and Brinsmade had a conference with Comptroller Dunn at the apitol yesterday concern ing the appointment of successors to Supt. Robert o.
