and to run the six horsepower blower
which furnishes the necessary draught.
1t is stated that about four tons of gar
bage can be destroyed in this furnace in
all hour, from twenty five to thirty-tive
gallons of oil being required for the pur-
pose.
THE SUMMING UP.
From what has now been said it will
be seen that garbage cremation is not an
experiment by any means, but an estab-
llshed and highly successful method of
dlsposing of one of the worst classes of
city refuse. Some further details regard
ing cost are of value in making this sum
mary complete. The average cost of the
destructors in thirty-tive English cities is
S2, 100 cell, each cell burning six tons in
twenty-four hours. The average number
OF men employed per cell is LII; the
average annual cost per cell is $3.50; the
average hight Of chimney is 163 feet, and
the average cost of destroying the refuse
amounts TO twenty-three cents a ton.
IT Is a CHEAP PROCESS.
Owing to the difference in the character
OF the materials consumed similar figures
can hardly be drawn up for American
furnaces, but ii is safe to estimate the cost
OF furnace having a capacity of about
forty tons per day at $4,000, and the total
cost of operation, including fuel and
labor, at $4,000 Il year. The use of oil as q
fuel is etfecting great improvement in
these furnaces; and each new plant gem
orally contains some valuable innovation,
so that it cannot be claimed that pertec-
ton is yet attained. 1t is unfortunate
that SO many OF the earlier furnaces built
in this country were not properly de-
signed, for their failure has done much to
discredit the use of fire as an agent in
cleaning our cities. Now, however, no
well-iniormed engineer denies the value
OF these plants, and the city officials in
all of the places mentioned in this article
unite in prasing the method of destroy
ing refuse by cremation.
