New Crematory in Ninth Ward Chosen by Unanimous Board
A unanimous vote by the joint health and bond commissions selected a nine ward site on the Belt Line railroad opposite the city stockade for a new crematory. The five acre plot in the Woltabatmar property can be bought for 95,106, with bids to be advertised immediately. The plan aims to stop dumping grounds in the Third and Ninth wards and improve odor and smoke concerns. An Atlanta inventor demonstrated a miniature eight unit crematory capable of burning 200 tons of garbage in 17 hours for about 4000 with a bond to guarantee performance and to cremate dead animals at no city cost. The committees will report to the boards and the matter goes to the general council.
