WANT 1T CHANGED.
Desiccating Company Would
Like a New Contract.

At an executive session of the board
of health last night. the Topeka desic-
eating plant askedisto be allowed TO
change its existing, contract with the
city in such way asI to permit 1t to
put in a sewer from the plant to the
river, and hquidize most of the garbage
which under its contract it must con-
vert into fertilizer.
The proprietors of the desiccating
works admitted that it would probably
be impossible for them to handle the
work of the city of Xopeka this sum
mer unless some such method of dis
posing of the refuse should be permit
ted. AS far as disposing of garbage is
concerned, the new desiccating plant is
apparently little Improvement on the
old one which the city had so much
trouble with.
The owners of the plant propose to
build a sewer in such a way that the
hquidized garbage can be washed clear
into the main current of the river. This
is the only advantage over the old plan.
Formerly the stuff was allowed to soak
into a sandbar.
When the desiccating plant was built.
the owners announced that they would
convey everything into fertilizer and
dump nothing into the river. Large
pans were built in which it was pro-
posed to dry out the garbage, and
then run the residue through the pull
VeriZing machine to be converted into
fertilizer. According to the reports
given to the board of health last night,
this scheme has been found to a great
extent impractical. The company wants
to be allowed to drain off everything
which will liquidize, and run it into the
river.
After hearing the propositions of the
cided that It 't Gould not legally allow any
tract without authority from the city
