CASKETS TO BE DECENT County Commissioners Refuse Con tracts to Firms Offering to Pay to Bury Charges. Investigations of Charles S. Kudeen. county commissioner, into methods of t , , i . . . . , . i. i 12-year-old daughter of "f"u"n cou"'y ueal anu olalism resulted In the refusal of the board of county commissioners yester day to enter into any contract with undertakers whose offers for crema tlon of county charges during the cur rent year ranged from a cent a corpse to the payment of $200 to the county for the privilege. "We have no assurance under of fered contracts that the dead will not be treated as animals." said Mr. Ru- deen. "Undertakers who have han dled county contracts in the past have had themselves appointed adminis trators of estates when any property was disclosed, have taken charge of the effects and often have received good fees. Some years ago an estate of $9000 in cash was left by a person who had been receiving county char ity." Selling of Bodies Suspected. "Is there any truth In the report that bodies sometimes are sold for dissection purposes?" the commis sioner was asked. "I don't know," replied Mr. Rudeen. I asked that question of one of the undertakers I was interviewing and he refused to answer." Under plans now being considered by the commissioners the contract for disposal of pauper dead will be let for six months' periods and will con tain certain specifications, such as provision for prayers for the departed. proper handling of the bodies, decent caskets and shrouds. A report from the undertaker will be required every 30 davs. disclosing- the number of! cases handled and any money received from relatives or an estate. Luxuries for Poor Tabooed.
