GARBAGE PLANT
USED AS TARGET
Alderman 0'Rourke of Rich
mond Defends Attack Made
on Present Administration

TBy Evening News staff Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, June 10:-The
garbage plant at Lake Island in the
treShkill creek, near Greenridge,
erected by the City of New York
during the Mitchell administration.
was used as a target before the
Board of Aldermen meeting Tuesday
in Manhattan in an attack or the
plan of the present administration
to build Instructors in the several
boroughs of the city. Alderman Fall
coner made the statement that the
Hylan administration is spending the
taxpayers money at the rate of $4,-
600, 600 a year for garbage i%ncinerd-
ton, whereas the Mitchell admins
tration had worked out a plan which
provided hat private garbage re-
duction contractors pay the city
nearly a million dollars in a five
year period. Alderman John
O'Rourke, known as the fighting al
derman from Staten Island. cham
pioned F~alconer and said that the
Mitchell administration garbage plant
was a profit making scheme for a
private contractor, whereas the
Hylan scheme though costly was not
Objectionable to the people who re-
side near the reduction plant. He
cited the one near his own home,
which he says is not offensive. 1t
was a garbage separator, a slow
chemical process employed during
the Mitchell administration, thai the
people objected to on Staten Island,
argued O'Rourke. He did not argue
OIL the difference in cost.
The occasion of Falconer's attack
was a report of the committee on
finance favoring the adoption of an
ordinance selecting a site at Rock
away Beach for a garbage d%estruc-
tor. Falconer was the only member
of the board to vote against the re-
port. The garbage plant at Lakes
Island was closed after a protest
by the entire populace of Staten Is
land when the odors arising from
the plant became so offensive that
it made many people i'll. Since then
the garbage has been taken to sea
from Manhattan, Brooklyn and the
Bronx. Richmond borough has had
two incinerators for the past several
years, one at West New Brighton
and the other at Clifton. One had
been planned for this end of the
island but never built for some rea-
son or other.

lice knaide. George E. Thompson,

reluctance the questions put to her,

but when it came to the question of
whether or not others were involved
she was emphatic in her denial. She
said that Mrs. Patterson, another

mentioned in connectien~>Wit the
case, was in no way responsible for
the baby's death, saying: II did it all
myself. Mrs. Patterson was not
present when the baby was born. I

THE TUBERCULOUS
|EX-SER.VICE MEN

government agencies to provide
treatment for tuberculous soldiers OF
the world war were described by DIR.
F. C. Smith, surgeon of the United
States Public Health Service. in an
address he delivered today before the
National tuberculosis Association,
holding it's annual meeting here.
DR.. Smith said $3.50 of the former
soldiers treated in hospitals since the
War Risk Insurance Act was passed
were tuberculeus. Approximately
half of these, he said, have been
cared for since March 8, 1919. in hos
pitfalls owned or operated by the Pub
lie Health Service.
Thirteen of the Gil hospitals con-
Quoted by the United States Public
Health Service are devoted to tuber-
culous patients. said DR.. Smith.
The largest of these is at Fort Bay
ard, n. NJ. Other large ones are at
Prescott, Ariz., Ashville, n. c.; Camp
kearney, Cal; Greenville S. c.; and
New. Haven, Conn. There are other
smaller hospitals and in all service
hospitals separate wards or rooms
are provided for tuberculous soldiers
TT was necessary to utilize several
abandoned army base hospitals" DR..
Smith said. The results of treat
ment however, have been gratifying
and the morale of the institutions
we'll maintained. The physicians
nurses and aides are practically
without exception themselves ex-
service men and women with every
sympathy enlisted in the care of their
patients. The personnel looks for
ward, however, to the time when
funds having been appropriated san
atoria can be built in carefully Sc
lected localities"
