CREMATORY IS NEARER
BIDS I'Oll 150-TON PIM WILL,
BE OPENED TODAY.
Death Hale, Already Low, AVill Be
Decreased. It Is Believed, by
Xew Incinerator.
HiUs for Portland's new 150-ton par
ae crematory, which will be erected
on the site of the present .15-ton cre
matory at Guild's Lake, will be opened
by the City Board of Health this mom
inK. The electors of the city voted
a bond issue of $100,000, but the bonds
have not been sold, and It is tfelieved
that this sum win be provided from
he general fund.
With the new crematory it is planned
to burn all the rubbish which now sroes
on the dump near eiuild's Iaje. This
has continued to accumulate until it
Is regarded as a menace to health. As
there is considerable combustible mate
rial in It, the authorities believe that
with a new crematory of modern type
it will be unnecessary to purchase much
fuel,
"Portland's death rate Is given now
as seven in every- 1000 of population,
which is very low," said City Health
Officer Wheeler yesterday. "Neverthe
less, we desire to reduce this if possi
ble, and believe the new garbage incin
erator will be a means to that end.
We now burn only house garbage and
dead horses. With the new incinera
tor we shall burn all the garbage of
the city. The city has five acres on
Guild's Lake, where the new crema
tory will be situated. The one now jn
use lias been in existence since Mayor
Pennoyer's administration, between 12
and 15 years.
"I believe the 150-ton incinerator will
destroy the garbage of the city for six
or seven years, when it probably will
become necessary to erect another one
on the East Side."
It is pointed out that two crema
tories will materially lessen the haul
ing distance. ;
After the crematory bids are opened
this morning it may be necessary to
refer them to H. AI. Napier, superin
tendent of the crematory, and to Citv
Engineer Morris before the contract is
awarded. The members of the Board
or Health are Drs. Alan Welch Smith,
George L. Storey and R. J. Chipman.
