DRY GARBAGE PLAN
MAY Be ADOPTED

licitov to Draw Ordinance
Providing for This.

work on an ordinance providing for
the wrapping of garbage. after IL has
been drained. when offered for coll
lection by the contractors wagons.
This Is being prepared at the request
Of the Board OF Health, which body
rassed a resolution to that effect at
It's meeting yesterday afternoon.
The reason for this action is the
change in method OF disposal of the

garbage treatment in use before the
adoption OF the present one, which
destroys the material by burning, have
required that the garbage be kept
tree from all outside matter. such as
paper or other wrappings. boxes and
the like. The reason was that the
treatment was directed toward the
utilization of all the heterogeneous mat
ter for fertilizing and other uses. while
the incinerating process rs a destruc-
tive one.
I'm the average city household. it is
the natural instinct of the good mana
eor TO wrap mp vegetable peelings and
ccoking scraps in a piece of paper or a
paper bag or box. but the impulse has
been checked by previous prohibition
Of The practice. But now all is chang
cd. and the paper wrappings are want
"a because they will burn.
