Great Sale of Noftioims aim ma are; SUDDEN INSPECTION DUE d S 11 w Ways and Mmdi Body, Opposed to Expense of PUat Already More Than Old Place, Decide on Quiet Investigation. Declining temporarily to approve th tlmate for the crematory for March, the ways and mean committee of Uie City Council yesterday afternoon de cided to Investigate the Increased cost of operating this plant and It ws an nounced that the membera will Tlslt the establishment on Guilds Lake at odd Umea to see for themselves what the situation la there, "I am very bappy to know that the members of the ways and means com mittee are solas; to Investigate the crematory." said Mayor Simon. "I want not only the membera of the com mittee, but every on else interested In the welfare of the city to investigate this or any other feature of the mu nicipal government. Investigation Is Favored. We have a problem to aolvs la this connection and any help the waya and means committee may be able to give la solving It will be appreciated most fully. It la proper that the commit tee should have all the Information ob tainable and I stand ready to furnish them all the data I have or that the Board of Health or any one else has who Is connected with the affair." The estimate for March la $4100, about 11000 above the average for the operation of the crematory. The new plant la now being operated, and thua far it has cost much mors thsn the old plant. The tests are only fairly com menced, however, and Mayor Simon de clares that It Is unfair to condemn the new plant after the first few weeks of its operation. Councilman Baker moved to appoint a committee of Councilman to Investi gate the crematory, but Councilman Rushlight, acting chairman la the ab sence of Councilman Devlin, said he felt that It could be as well handled by the ways and raeana committee, and thia action waa decided upon. Committee Called Joke. The committee adopted a motion re queuing the heads of departments to send In their estimates by the 20th of every month for the coming month, so that there will be ample time for the committee to pasa upon them and have them Indorsed by the Executive Board. At present the estlmatea coma In ao late that the money la expended In many lnrtancea before the committee aeea the estimates. "This committee la only a Joke, If this thing Is going to continue." re marked Councilman Baker, who then moved that estimates be sent In earlier. Superintendent Donaldson, of the strset-cleanlng department, waa re- queeted to make up the payroll of bla employes for last Labor day. although he baa Instructions from the street cleaning committee of the Executive Board not to do ao. It waa supposed the City Auditor would make up the roll, but It was shown the committee that that office tad no proper baala for o doing. The Council passed an ordi nance allowing the men regular pay for that holiday, although they laid off. ' COURTHOUSE WORK FAILS Woodworkers Breaking Agreement, County Falls Back on Bondsmen.

Th corner was th sit of Parsons' Hall, where .many fashionable dancing parties and receptions were held ln years gone by.
