RepOrt-Orders Issued

Representatives OF the Engle Crematory
System for destruction OF garbage were in
conference with the Commissioners yes
terday to invite an investigation of their
method. They made an offer to have the
system tested at their risk, but the Com
missioners prefer to first consider the
details of the plan, and will afterward
decide upon a course. 1t is in the power
OF the board to designate a system, and
the garbage contractor will introduce it.
The Engle plant is TO be given q careful
investigation.
Health Officer Woodward yesterday filed
with the Commissioners the report OF his
observations of the several systems for
disposal of garbage which he recently
inspected in Wilmington and Philadelphia.
The principal points made iii the report
Were given in The Times of Saturday.
Dr. Woodward is of the opinion that
the Smith crematory can be operated in
this city without creating a nuisance. II
is operated at minimum cost, and the
expense for fuel is said to be small
Speaking of the Arnold reduction proc
ess, also Inspected by him, DR.. Woodward
says that, as represented in the plant
visited, he believes it may be operated
without inconvenience to neighbors only
when located at u considerable distance
from them.
OF the Brown crematory the doctor is
more hopeful He is OF the opinion that
it may be operated anywhere III this city
without creating nuisance.
He adds: mo reference is made above
to the ability of either of the above
methods TO dispose OF dead animals, but
it is claimed for each that such material
can be handled without nuisance. l am
satisfied that such claim is correct"
ATTORNEY WILL INVESTIGATE.
There was no official action taken by
the Commissioners yesterday touching
the fire re-escape law, but it is understood,
as stated in yesterdays Times, that upon
presentation of the report of the building
Inspector i'll the Willard Hotel case the
matter viii be carefully considered IN all

ali legal points and recommend a course Of
