February II. Health Officer Steddom
last November sent to every important
city in the land circular letter embody-
ing the following questions:
What method of collecting garbage have
you?
What does it cost per ton to collect and
cremate?
What does it cost per capita?
Is there any odor which would be nui-
sance in city like yours?

waste. l think the furnaces we use would
prove just as satisfactory for your city, and
nothing better is required. We burn a
vast quantity of liquid night-soil, collected
outside of the sewer districts (about 1850
tons last year, and this Increases the CON
of fuel. Burning garbage and
trash alone would require but little fuel.
Two men are required by day, and a
waTchman to burn out and clean out the
furnaces by night. You can best figure
the cost i'll Los Angeles by such facts.
Wages and fuel differ in cost in different
cities.
