CITY CAN SOLVE
FILTH PROBLEM
Dr.. Gilbert Says lnoinerator
viii Do the Work, and Quick
Action Win Be Necessary.

IF the garbage pronlen Is not solved
now. it win be solely councils fault"
says Dr.. w. L. Gilbert president of the
board OF health. The board has unan
imously recommended a plan to abolish
all dump piles-the most modern sys-
tern Of garbage disposal known. 1t is
practical for council to adopt it at
once"
The plan referred to. the bid of the
Destructor Company Of New York, to
build an incinerator which will utilize
its own heat to generate electricity, was
recommended TO the board of health by
DR. Rudolph Herring, the expert engi-
neer employed by the city. It will cost
S440 900, but not only provides for
burning the garbage, but for pumping
all the city's water from the river to
the Hemphill reservoir. 1t win be rec
commended to council today and prob
ably adopted,
The sanitary conditions Of Atlanta
have been very unsatisfactory for the
past five years" says DR. Gilbert. The
eighteen dump piles have been terrible
they have been breeding places for mil
lions of flies, mosquitoes and rats to
disturb the whole city.
"GhaStly infections have overrun en-
tire cities from the sole cause of flies
transmitting disease germs. The one
great remedy for this constant danger
is to burn the garbage and destroy their
breeding places. The members of the
board of health have been struggling
with this condition for five years and
the members are most anxious that
council approve this action at once.

According iO the Fairbanks : occurred on the Wild Goose Asso- citation claim. on Engineer creek. which looked as if there was tO be a general fight on tap, when five laborers marched into the cabin of James McMullen and demanded the gold secured from a cleanup made on the claim but a few hours before.

Mullen had made extensive tests of the waste gravel left from the workings of the former lay man. II. M. Henning, and had de- cidcd that there was enough mon cy in the piles to pay to work them. Accordingly, he prepared a scraping outfit. fitted up several boilers, and started to scrape the gravel directly into the sluicc- boxes.
 The work had been in progress for some ten days or SD, when the layman started to make his first cleanup. The cleanup was com pleted last evening, and as the men knew that the gravel did not sluice up better than it had pan ned, they decided that the only way to get paid for their work was to nab the gold before it got into the owners pokcs.
