able to load car after car from our
bunkers at minimum of cost and
with the least possible expenditure of
time, and the cars will then convey the
material to dumping grounds outside
/ of the city, economically and expedi-
| tiously. We have closed a deal with
the Ocean Shore Railway for deliver
4 ing debris from our bunkers and the
other transportation companies will all
come in on the same arrangement Be-
fore we get through we will have at
least 100 bunkers in operation in diff
ferent sections of the city.
A LARGE FORCE OF MEN AND
MANY TEAMS.
! "A large force of men and a great
many teams will be employed in this
work. but the teams will not attempt
| to haul the material out of the city
OF for long distances. The teams will
/ haul the debris to piles, from which
| it can be conveyed by cable ways to
| the bunkers. Under hhis arrangement
many contractors wilNbe able to take
a hand in the work. AS for our com
| pany, we are making contracts to re-
move this material for 10 per cent
I
/ reasonable, as we provide all the ma
chinery.
IT might say in this connection that
much of the brick removed from the
| burned district can be cleaned and
made serviceable for building opera
tions. Estimates as to the proportion
of brick that can be cleaned and used
differ somewhat, ranging from 80 to 40
per cent. We will have a process,
| however. for cleaning all good bricks
| by which the work can be done by
machinery for So thousand. All good
| bricks will be saved, and the debris
will be used for filling low ground.
| There is a lot of low ground around
| Isais creek that could be used for
I dumping purposes, and the Western
| Pacific has a lot of land that 1t wants
| filed, so there will be no trouble -
find plenty of dumping ground remote
from the business section.
There is one important matter that
will have to be considered i'm connec-
| ton with the cleaning of the burned
| district In view of the fact that there
will probably be a large amount of
! brick and other material that can be
used for building and construction the
| insurance companies in adjusting their
losses may claim all this salvage This
is matter. however that can probably
be amicably adjusted, What the rail-
roads will charge for removing the de-
: bris has not been definitely decided
They should and probably will, handle
| the business as they do customarily by
! merely charging a switching rate of
| $3.50 n car
I'VE have already started work on a
small scale and are now tearing down
the Hale building. 1t will probably be
thirty days before We are in full work
! ing order. On the system which we
| propose to inaugurate the city ought
| to be entirely cleaned in from eight to
| twelve months"
SUPERVISORS ANXIOUS
TO CLEAN THE CITY
The Supervisors are anxious to fa-
cilitate the work of cleaning up the
property in the burned district, and to
| that end ask for better understands
ing between the civil and military au-
thorities. At the meeting of the Board
Thursday Supervisor Rea said that all
though the city was not under mar
/ lld' law, lne troops were interfering
with people who We're trying to remove
dc bris from their property. He asked
that a resolution be adopted request
ing the clearing up of such property
in the burned district, and authorizing
owners and lessees to do such work.
Davis thought that the matter should
be left to the Board os Works.
