Incinerating Plant Working

During the past eighteen months the
DUPONT Company has erected in Upper
Penns Neck Township and Penns Grove
residences for 1870 families, besides the
club houses and boarding camps. TAX
ing care of the garbage and refuse has
been a great problem for sanitary en-
g%ineers.
The company has had wagons hauling
it to the river shore and dumping it.
This was unsatisfactory and created a
stencil.
An endeavor was made to get others
to dispose of the garbage by contract.
Philadelphia parties undertook the job
but failed to meet the requirements.
A furnace was erected in the woods
on the south side of the road above the
Forked Hickory cross roads, into which
the garbage was thrown. An oil fire
was supplied by compressed air, but
that failed.
During May, Jones Brothers, of Ma
con, Ga, erected in that woods a gar
bage %crematory at an expense of $4,000.
1t is % by "a feet and 20 feet high with
a smoke stack 80 feet high. The intake
hole at the top is = feet 9 inches in
diameter, thru which a horse or COW
may be put.
A wagon bridge leads to the top of
the furnace which is covered for the
storage of garbage.
Burning garbage began last Saturday.
On Monday 1913 tons were burned. All
kinds of garbage wet and dry, also dead
animals are dumped into the furnace
and burned. Everything is burned from
dry paper and rag to large animals.
1t takes half an hour to burn a ton of
dry garbage to 6 hours for a horse.
The success of the burning is made
by the air circulating thru LOG feet of
chambers where it is heated to a high
temperature, 40 degrees, and makes
such complete combustion that few ashes
are left. Very little smoke escapes
from the stack and no stencil. The
quantity of combustible waste will con-
sumo most of the wet garbage and very
little wood or coal is needed when the
crematory is operated properly.
e. NJ. Jones has been in charge of
the erection.
