AS the operation has been explained

are dumped into a hopper or chute by
which in the course OF some hours
they reach the CRATES of the incinera-

cause in the interval alcoholic icrmen-

stuff is ready for firing it IS all the
more iniammablc. The method adopted
at Montevideo is technically known as
integral inclneration. which means
that the heat developed Is sufficient TO
melt tin cans, scrap metals, &c. But
the arrangement is such that these

from the refuse lefolc reaching the
furnace, and after Justification can be

miles to a dump on the river front, all
of which takes another day or so, dur
ing which fermenting processes are
set up. At the river front It is loaded
on a scow, and this craft stays at the
dock until it is full laden. The records
of the Department OF Health show that
this loading may take from two &c
three days, or at times n couple oil
weeks, with the result that the neigh.

"Buenos Ayres Is a city Of 100000

1t may not be generally known, but
the present disposal of the city's ashes
seaward costs the taxpayers a very
pretty penny, not TO mention the cN-
pense involved in maintaining a flotila
OF craft to supervise the disposition OF
this waste and see TO it that the ashes
are not dumped in or near the ports
channels. The outlay for this service
alone amounts to $4,000 annually.
During severe winter weather, when
ice interferes with traffic, the removal
Of ashes, rubbish and garbage from
the municipal waterfronts is seriously
/ hampcred, at times halted for many
days running. Clearly, then incincra-
ton, has everything In its favor. The
State bureau of municipal intorma-
ton issued, in Jqnuary, 1916 N report
upon this broad subject. 1t was com
piled after an extensive review Of
| the whole country, and said, among
other things;
An reports aud experts agree that
Instructors are very successful from
a sanitary standpoint and have the
advantage over other methods that the
different classes of waste can be de-
stroyed by one process and gathered
IL. one collection. The Instructors
when properly constructed and oper-
ated, may be centrally located. thus
reducing the cost OF haul. Another
point mentioned is that there Is some

| In Europe. incinerators have been
operating successfully for years IN
Zurich. Wiesbaden, Frankfort, Fuerth
and Hamburg. In the latter city the
annual disposition amounts 10 fully
100000 tons. There lie nothing funda-
/ mentally experimental about this mod
ern procedure. improvements have

/ to-day plants for this work are man
aged so slsilfully that they can he
run at relatively low cost and with

tons none of this Objectionable waste
should remain at the city's water edge
more than forty-eiglN hours, and yet
in practice this is very far from being
the time limit. Again, the steps Of
disposal are supposed TO be prompt,
but are not. owing TO the agencies en-
ployed and the policy OF moving a
scow only when 1t is full. When the
refuse is ultimately conveyed into the
reduction plant for treatment, the dis
agreeable nature of the material is in
tensifed by the odors of the chemicals
used to promote reduction, and this
eXhalation may be wind borne ten or

We consider the measure of public dis
comfort and the disease either directly
or indirectly attributable 10 this
archaic practice, am sure that no one
can believe that II is economical, scien-
tific, or In any other wise a proper
means of disposinG of the city's refuse.
Furthermore. bad as it is. II unfortu-
nately does not take care of all OF the
wastes produced by great population
like ours. Many private individuals
are permitted to cart quantities OF
refuse in an unsanitary manner
through the public sthoroughfares.
This is a menace 10 the health Of
the community. It seems TO me that
the whole service should be n great
public utility operated by the city it,
self for the protection and the comfort
Of every citizen.
1T may not be known TO many Of
our people, but several OF the large
hotels here dispose OF their own gar
bage by incineration. Two of our Dor
oughs, Richmond and Queens, also en-
ploy this method. But. probably the
largest and most interesting incinera-
ting installations on this side OF the
Atlantic are two IN South America.
Both Buenos Ayres and Moutevideo
have constructed incineration plants.

blocks from the City Hall, and situated
