District Commissioners Back Public Crematory Bill
The District Commissioners urge rapid passage of a bill to authorize a public crematory in the District of Columbia. They say incineration would curb contagion from smallpox and other diseases, enable transport of remains elsewhere, and reduce burial and transport costs for indigent dead.
