While a legislative act gives the
Board Of Health sole jurisdiction in
the construction, maintenance and
operation OF the crematory. the con-
tract for the building was entered
into by the Mayor and Council of
Wilmington before the legislative act
was passed. This fact has raised a
doubt in the minds of some members
as to who actually controls the

emergency measure following the
destruction of the old crematory by
