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.
Failure of the Washington Interior
Finishing Company to fulfill lie eon
tract regarding the Interior woodwork

ence waa for the county to hire men to

lect public despite protests.

Plot 100x1 SO Feet at Nineteenth
Street Deeded by Caroline
Couch Estate.
Edgar J. Daly yesterday completed
purchase' from th Carolina Couch es
tate of a piece of ground 130 by 100
feet, situated at the northwest corner
of Nineteenth and Washington streets.
Th consideration was $100,000.
Mr. Daly mad th first payment on
th property last August, and ha re
celved the deed when yesterday's sec
ond and final payment was made.
Th corner was th sit of Parsons'
Hall, where .many fashionable dancing
parties and receptions were held ln
years gone by. Parsons' Hall burned
down several years ago, and latterly
the ground has been used as part of a
florist's establishment.
Mr. Daly Is known as one of th
most aggressive operators ln Washington-street
realty, and has been active
both as a broker and as a speculative
buyer on his own account.
"I have resched no decision whether
to resell th property or to build," said
Mr. Daly yesterday. "T had ap
plications enough to fill' a building
three or four times as large as any I
could build on this lot. Th opening
of Alder street through to Nineteenth,
which will tak place soon, will make
thl th most valuable corner on upper
Washington. Automobile dealers, aa
well as those selling automobile sup
plies, are partial to this section." '
