was again too much for the Greek.

GARBAGE FOR DOWN THE RIVER
Melons and Other Summer Refuse
Too Much for the Crematory.

To provide for the disposal of the extra
garbage which accumulates in summer,
and for which there is no provision since
the condemnation Of the Smith crematory,
the Commissioners yesterday issued an
order authorizing Contractor Warfield to
transport the surplus garbage to point
beyond the District line and destroy it
there. The order reads as follows:
The necessary condemnation Of the
Smith garbage creTnatory having restrict
ed the cremation of garbage to the Brown
plant (the capacity of which is not suffi-
cient to consume all the garbage at this
time of the year, even though in full orera-
tom, the contractor for the collection
and Disposal OF garbage is hereby allowed
TO remove so mucn of the garha ge as is
necessary by transporting 1t down the river
to a point beyond the District limits in
accordance with his suggestion of the
21d inst: and under the direction Of the
health officer, under the condition that
all possible haste shall be made in repair
ing the Brown furnace, so that it may be
worked tc its fullest capacity, and that the
smallest possible amount Of garbage will be
transported down the river"
Where the order mentions the repairs to
the Brown creuiatory, it refers to a few
slight injuries, which, while not inter
fering seriously with the working of the
furnace, still makes its capacity slightly
smaller.
tits understood that Contractor Warfield
has not yet secured the property down
the river, where he will place his permanent
plant, but this order is merely temporary
one, which will allow him to destroy
garbage for the time being wherever he
can secure space. A similar order was
issued two wears ago. also for the DISPOSE
ton of tie extra summer waste.
