10 fHE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, VMAY 13, 1909. CUMIN NEED OF p REPAIRS ,-p; MILK COMPANY AT SCIO PUTS NEW PRODUCT ON THE MARKET Council Commit tec to Kec ommeiMl That um Be Appropriated and Expend ed Without Further Delay. V When the council meets tliis after Boon the committer, appointed to in vesttgate the conditions at the city crematory for the purpose of ascer taining tf it will be advisable I" make an approprlatiim for Improvements there, will recommend that $6000 be a llnwe'd kt once. When the committee arrived at the crematory this morning; they found things in a deplorable condition; many of the brick in both the top of the pit and about the fire doors had fallen out and more were on the verge of 'dropping into the burning mass of the tdty'a refuse, heaps of debris of all 'kinds at various stages of decompo sition were piled on the floor awaiting their turn in the furnace and a string mt wagons, loaded with more corrup tion, stood on the outside unable to unload until the fires had consumed tfle contents of the furnace. Conditions on the great dump, where thousands of tons of debris were piled. re even worse. The committee In pursuance of their duties, were com pelled to walk over a shihII mountain of the leavings from all the butcher hops, fish stores, hotels and other business houses of the city. A force of jnen are continually kept at work try ing to bury the most obnoxious refuse beneath rotting straw, bits of excelsior nd other debris of a like nature, but with all their efforts the great heap of fllthiness presents a far from pleasing picture and still less agreeable odor. C. I,. Daggett, superintendent of the erematory, also recommended that iiome thfnar he done with ft view to having Jjiosi who use the road leading to the dump keep It In repair, as he says he Is constantly repairing It at the city's expense. Watar Drires Out Bats. Another menace to public health lies In the fact that with the rise of the river, water barks up into the garbage (lump and drives thousands of the germ Infested rats, which make their homes In the garbage, into the city. It Is Im possible under the present conditions to ret rid of these rats, although many Hundreds were killed during the high water last winter. ; After becoming acquainted with the conditions prevailing at the crematory, the committee this morning said they WOuld favor the adoption or some sys tem by which those hauling garbage to the crematory or dujnp would be eharged for the privilege, according to the amount of refuse deposited there. Jt seemed to them an injustice was be ing done those who have only the gar bage from their homes hauled there While they were lefUon an equal foot ing with th large commercial houses Of the city. - "The repairing of the crematory," aid George I,. Baker, councilman for the Fourth ward and one of the Inves tigating committee, "would have been undertaken long ago bad the funds in the treasury not been so low. but by recalling money advanced for other purposes, which was not used, we will be able to raise the required amount." 1 .at vTr. v.-y-c v - , r -1 ax 4 " f ' v i ; - 1 . 41,1, P CLUE DUG OP on ray FARM Gold liinc Inscribed With "VM lielieved to Have Be longed to Sam Wilson, Who Disappeared House to Be Tom Down.
