@fNye Odorless Crematory Company,
M Macon, Ga.
ei-Attention Mr.. A. c. FELTON,, Jr.
=. Dear sir; The Board Of Health
Shss received your letter OF Decem-
sber 5, enclosing a copy Of letter
r,written TO the chairman OF the
Sheath committee OF The Council
~uhder date OF November 2s.
X 1--WE have carefully read these
.ietters and the Board feels that you
shave made unjust accusations and
nihey want to go on record stating
sthe manner In which this plant has
..been operated.
n .The plant Is now being run by
nfhe same men who worked for your
nNfr Abel during the test. These men
tgere instructed by Mr.. Abel as to the
-proper manner to operate the plant
sand we have told theIl to continue
the operation of the plant strictly
4An accordance with Instructions given
.,by Mr.. Abel
es'If there is any fault you can very
.,piainly see that It lies with your
slcom pany, in view OF the fact that our
linen are stiIl working under instruc-
Htion given by your representative.
In view OF these circumstances
1--WE do not understand your state
ment to the chairman OF the Health
vCommittee that every instruction OF
suggestion that you have made for
.,the operation OF the plant has been
.lEnored. II is true that City Council
sphssed an ordinance requiring the
ssgarbage to be drained and placed
In a covered can. This has no ref
terence however to the contract as
',it. very clearly states that the plant
twill dispose OF average city run
,iKaroage. The garbage is in even
t.better condition for burning than II
uas at the time Mr.. Hannan sold
.ns the plant.
n-At that time Mr.. Hannah spent
Several days in Wilmington and was
nendrely familiar with the kind OF
..zarbage collected and assured ths
isinembers OF this board that the Ny'
.piant would burn eur garbage a.
peollected-

isome new chutes, which is a sur
',,prise 10 us as the present chute
seem to be in a fair condition. W.
Nl.u4 irrl, n

you are continually having this trou
ible in other plants. II such Is tn
sase we would like to be advise
ef other parts that usually fail s
I'VE can keep a stock OF these o
hand and be prepared to keep tn
,'plhnt In running condition as W
have 70 dump the garbage in a hol
and cover Il with lime when we ar
iunabie to operate your plant, and W.
want to make the necessary repair
tss. soon as possible.
r~We honestly try TO operate this
,plsnt economically, with as httlt
coal as possible. We have used al
the rubbish that the plant will take
and we have also taken very good
,eafe OF the premises
a. rTf there has been any abuse ol
fhe plant we can assure you that 1
has not been Intentional. This state
,nent is one that we seriously objec
TO and we insist upon you giving u
