Is Expensive.
The objection to cremation is that OF
expense. Where large proportion OF
water is mixed with the garbage, as in
Rock Island, much fuel is required to
consume the same.
Reduction is used in St. Louis. Mo.
Cleveland, Ohio. Indianapolis. Ind.
Baltimore, Md. Columbus, Ohio, Syra-
cuse, n. Y. Allegheny. Pa, and Pater'
son. \. J. This method seems to have
met with favor in the large cities. but
the process has many objectionable
features. The chief objection is that
| it is unsanitary, creating a nuisance by
vapors arising from the works. If re
moved from the city great distance,
the exp use is increased. The demand
for fertilizing product is limited, and
without a market for this product the
expense of reduction is great.
Various theories have from time To
time been advanced. showing how the
destruction of garbage by incarceration
would produce steam power, which
might be utilized, but there are no eX-
,amples of the practicability of such
theories in America. 1t is even claim
ed that the separated garbage could be
utilized in such a manner as to pay the
expense of collection and disposal, but
it has never been done.
The present system, while not salts

haul to the dumpboat. being made
quate. has it's drawbacks minimized
and will have TO do for awhile How
ever, l hope that the beginning of an
other sumr-er will find this city with
the proper system of garbage disposal.

This department would again call the
attention of the city council to the ne
cessity. for a comprehensive sewer
system 1t should have been done
years ago, but il is better late than
never The natural outlet for the
southern portion of the city is down
the south slough. and should have ex.
tended up to Twenty-fifth street. and
could have been done a few years ago
with no expense for right of way. Il
may be that a sewer could follow the
avenues, and only a few paved streets
would be crossed or passed under
A few years ago George II. Boynton
was a resident of this city. He is one
of the best civil engineers in, the en-
ploy of the Rock Island railroad. He
was very much interested in sanitary
matters, and was strong in the belief
that a good sewerage system was es-
sential. He could not understand why
the city was attempting to conduct ev-
erything TO the Fifth avenue sewer.
when it was unable to take care of 50
much sewage and surface water.
Therefore. for his own satisfaction, he
made a survey. and it was his opinion
that the south slough sewer plan was
not only feasible, but necessary. to
provide this city with a. practical sew
erage system.
1t is not my intention to advocate
the construction of the whole of this
sewer at once, but the system should
be established, and to require that ali
sewers heretofore constructed should
be in accordance with that system 50
that in time We would have a proper
system that would do the work ex-
pected of il.
