ming for mayor of Chicago, was devot-

Boston expects to have a cremation
plant for it's garbage. The plan con-
templates two furnaces, each to have
double chambers, in one of which the
garbage will be dried before passing
into the chamber below for combustion.
ALI handling Of the refuse after it is re-
ceived from the carts would be by ma
chinery, to be operated by steam power
furnished from the cremation furnaces.
Another economical advantage claimed
for the proposed system is that 1t would
require no fuel after the fires were once
started, as the rubbish, the dried gar
bage and the unburned coal found
among the ashes would furnish all the
fuel necessary. In addition, there
would be the proceeds from the sale of
valuable material sorted out from the
refuse. so that the method proposed
would cost the city little or nothing
more than the present unscientific and
unhealthful method of disposition.
