STATEN ISLAND
Garbage Disposal Raises Ire
of Staten Island Citizens
Hold An Enthusiastic Meeting at
Borough Hall to Discuss h
Knotty Problem.

~ Special correspondent.
TOTTENvILLE, Nov. 20:-The re-
opening of the garbage disposal plant
Of the Metropolitan By-Products
Company al Lakes Island in Fresh
kill creek near Greenridge has again
been taken up by the residents OF
Staten Island.
At a-meeting of the Citizens Anti
Garbage Committee named by Bor-
ough President Van Name held las
night at Borough hall, st. George, II
was brought out that the garbage
plant could be re-opened again at any
time should the Metropolitan Company
see fit to do so. {
William @. Wilcox. chairman of the
committee presided and there were
expressions on the garbage question
heard from several of the committee
Borough President Van Name told OF
the garbage conditions in the city OF
New York at the present time ano
that the city was paying $1,000 a day
for the disposal OF garbage by dump
ing at sea.
Commissioner McStay of the street
cleaning department has reported, he
said, of the conditions when the cold
weather sets in as to the difficulty OF
removing garbage to sea. which
would be another reason why the city
would have to take other means for
its disposal. Mr.. Van Name said that
the city was ready to increase the
amount of money for taking the garp-
age to sea at any time.
He also brought put that 1t was the
lack of funds that the Metropolitan
Company did not keep the plant go
ing and not hat the plant had been
declared q nuisance. because he said
that the board of health could no.
close It up. He said IL sufficient funds
could be raised the garbage plant
would again be open and this is what
the committee would have to igh'
against. The garbage question came
up before the board of aldermen yes
terday and Alderman Squires oil
Brooklyn introduced q resolution SIX
ing for a thorough investigation int
garbage disposal.
Alderman Squires declared that thu
mayor had made charges that q GER
tain set of men were in league tc
fleece the city of thousands of dollars
and insisted that 1t was the duty of the
mayor to submit his proof. The reese
luton provides that a committee oil
seven study the question not only To-
cally but as 1t is handled in other
cities, hat the Sanitary Utilization
Company be thoroughly examined a
to directors. influences, etc.
