A DAYS GARBAGE COLLECTIONS.
NOT ENOUGH TO THOROUGHLY
TEST THE NEW CREMATORY TO
ITS FULL EXTENT.

What is this talk about specially
prepared garbage being used in the
crematory at its test?" asked an Even
ing Journal reporter Of City Council
man Oberly this morning.
Nothing at all" he said "When we
provided for the new crematory 1t was
with the belief that It would be called
upon TO consume from forty to fifty
tons of garbage per day during the
Summer. This was based upon the re-
port of the former secretary OF The
Board of Health. We find now that we
are only receiving from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-five tons a day. which Is quite q
difference. The crematory has capac-
ity of eighty tons a day, and In ord@
to get enough garbage to make the COM
plete test it was necessary TO haul II
there two days previous to the test As
a matter Of fact, we only got thirty-two
tons I'm two days haul. According 10
the figures of that former secretary OF
the board we should have had more
than that in one day. We could not
make the test in the next hundred
years II we did not store the garbage
until we had enough to fully test the
capacity of the plant We might pos
sibly collect thirty tons in one day, but
the daily collections this Summer have
never exceeded twenty-five tons. The
capacity of the new crematory is eighty
tons for Uwenty-four hours. 1t Is di.
vided into two parts, and we can run
them separately. We are running botf
now for l,he purposes of the test, but in
the future we expect to run one, except.
inc on Monday when the Sunday ac.
cumulatiOns may exceed the forty-tor
limit"
"You have not yet accepted ih'
plant?" he was asked.
mo, and we are in no hurry to do it
We want to be fully satisfied, and It /.
also our desire that the public be sails
fed. We shall give IL another test or
