Funerals Delayed by Clash of Authority
Philadelphia February 14 funerals were delayed by a fight between state and city health authorities over burial permits. State registrar George W Aberholst was ousted as head of vital statistics by Acting Paredo, while the state declined to transfer the post. City hall cemeteries refused to issue permits until both sides issued certificates. The dispute eased when Director Wilson agreed to reconcile state permits with local practice, though a judicial opinion remained pending.
