DAY CONSUMES SIXTY TONS.

The extreme end Of the West Forty -seventh-st
pier 10 one OF the busiest spots in the city since
the new incinerating plant Of the Street Depart
merit was set up there 8 short time ago.
All day long lines of tipcarts rafting up
and down the steep plank drive leading TO the
mouth OF the giant hopper into which their loads
OF paper and other rubbish are dumped to the
music OF shouts by the bosses and workers, the
rattle OF wheels and the clatter of horses hoofs
The incinerating plant is thing. but al
ready officials Of the Street Cleaning Depart
ment are highly enthusiastic over the success
that is meeting its operation.
Everything that viii burn is dumped into the
giant hopper; the rest of the citys refuse is
loaded on barges and disposed OF out at sea as
heretofore. The incinera'or is simple. albeit big
and the underlying principles are not intricate.
To begin with there the fires, three of them,
all bull: in one big brick furnace. These may
be SAID to be on the ground floor little above
and behind the fires is a big heated metal plat
form called the drying table Above the table
is the big hopper into which the tons of rubbish
gre dumped after being culled by the gang OF
ricl1ers or scaveneers One man is stationed in
the hopper. and works the refuse down to the
drying table. Each of the fires is tended by one
man. The refuse is raked off the drying table
into the fires, and the flames do the rest. The
whole outfit is covered by an iron shed and sur
mounted by a steel chimney 100 feet high. Civ
ing draught so strong to reduce all refuse

Each Of the three furnace grates measures five

ment officials in speaking Of the merits of the
plant recently, and he added. 1T doesn't

search the rubbish for salabe articles, and in
this and other ways he is able to make good

supplies only the four skilled men who operate
