City crematory deemed economic crime at Rotary luncheon
Ro tarian Gabriel Solomon called Atlanta’s crematory an economic crime during a luncheon talk at the Hotel Winecliff. He traced the plant’s history to Mayor Courtland Winn’s era and argued the city wastes 1500 horsepower daily instead of using it for municipal needs. A Savannah report cited over $1000 monthly savings from cremator power elsewhere. Five new Rotary members were welcomed, and Rome editor Falck McCartney pledged to bring a large delegation for Rotary’s tenth anniversary. A resolution endorsed the Chanman Alexander exhibit at revival end.
