Health board sides with Gilbert over crematory delay
The health board backed President Dr W W L Gilbert in resisting returning the old $30,000 crematory to the sanitary department. Bids for grading the site for a new $276,000 plant will be opened Wednesday, with contracts to follow. Alderman Van Dyke plans to press for restoration, possibly via mandamus, as Acting Mayor Candler urges immediate action to avoid delay. Women plan a Wednesday meeting to push for prompt work, while Mayor-elect Woodward aims to rebuff the Milwaukee plant comparison and push contract repudiation if needed.
