INCINERATOR TO BE READY SOON
IT WILL GIVE CITY's ASHES A COMMERCIAL
VALUE AND WILL SAVE DUMP
ING AT SEA.

Major Woodbury. Commissioner OF Street
Cleaning said yesterday that he expected his
new moderator at Forty-seventh-st. and North
River 10 be completed in about two weeks. The
104-foot smokestack Is the only thing lacking
This has been delayed by strike in the works
where it was made in Wihamsport Penn. Major
Woodbury. received word that II was shipped
yesterday. The builder promises that the plant
will be ready by August Is. After that date all
the ashes collected in the borough will be taken
to the incinerator and reduced more than 80 per
cent in yardage. They will then be a product with
a commercial value and may be disposed OF
without cost to the city. The charge will be
seven cents cubic yard when delivered along
side and free when removed by the purchaser.
There is a large demand for the material. which
is used by railroads. for ballasttng. and other
purposes. This will save the city enormous
sum OF money yearly which is now used in
towing the ashes to sea. The completion OF the
incinerator will also mean the end Of all sea
dumping. This, however. has been partially
brought about by the system Of separating gar
bage from ashes instituted in the department by
Major Woodbury.. The incinerator, when I'm
ished Will cost the city $4,000
