and City Solicitor John w. Huxley,
Jr.. discussed the garbage disposal
question at a meeting of the Board
Of Health yesterday afternoon and
decided 10 advertise for bids for the
operation Of the crematOry.
CITY Solicitor Huxley suggested
that bids be asked for and in case
no bids are received, the city TO
continue to operate the plant until
the Legislator gives the city per-
mission to operate It's own incnerat-
ing plant.
DR., C. M. Handy. president Of the
board stated: THE situation created
by the action of the Wilmington
Sanitary Company in quitting has
brought this matter prominently be-
fore the public. The only conclusion
is that the city should operate its
own plant. Our experience since TAX
ing over the plant has proven that if
politics are eliminated the plant can
be run by the city more economical
ly and efficiently than by private
parties"
In commenting on the temporary
operation of the plant by the board,
Or. Handy pointed out that the
amount Of garbage disposed Of now
averages 80 tons a day, compared
with 40 under the private manage
ment and Ala. This was done without
the employment Of a night shift. DR.
Handy added that there had been a
reduction in the payroll of approx
mately $50 a week. The salary OF
Thomas Welsh, superintendent at the
plant, is S45 a week. the doctor saitl
