Disposal of Garbage.
That cities should cease sending
feed pigs and get back pork that was
liable to be diseased was dec
laration made last evening in an
address by f. N. Stacy of Minneapo-
lis, representative OF the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Mr.. Stacy argued that the proper
way to dispose of garbage was to
establish incinerating plants for It's
destruction by burning. The lecture
was. Illustrated with stereoptican
views.
Mayor Wlnn Powers said he did
not agree with the last speaker that
garbage should be incinerated. He
said IL should be reduced TO q fertil-
izer. This process also gave certain
by-products which were OF some
value. The farms should receive the
fertilizer and should not be con-
tinually impoverished. Mayor Pow
ers remarked that II the state did
not stop st. Paul from sending its
garbage out into the country to feed
the pigs that were later to be brought
to the city he believed that Dr.
Justuc Ohage, the city health com.
missioner, would do so.
