in the oface OF the Mayor. While
only six votes of the total OF thir-
teen In Council, including the presl-
dent OF the body were cast last night
in favor OF the Davis system, it is
considered altogether likely that the
action OF the committees will be
supported by a majority in Council
There is some division over the
question of requiring the public to
wrap garbage, and place the paper
packages containing Il along the
curb on collection days, as is done
in Trenton. n. ]. BY this method,
Il is contended, the present capacity
Of the Nye plant could be increased
from 25 to 40 tons per day and
would effect considerable saving in
commercial fuel.
Frank admissions were made that
the present disposal plant will have
to be overhauled, and that unless
some provision is made quickly the
city may be without means OF dis
posing OF It's refuse except by dump
ing or burying it.
william NJ. Hannah. Jr., eastern
sales manager OF the Nye Odofiess
Crematory Company which installed
the present plant. made a short
speech.
Il am not here to sell Nye
plant" Mr.. Hannah said. That
question has already been decided
by the Board OF Health.s positive re-
fusal to recommend a Nye inciner-
ator. His only interest. he said.
was in giving the city and in return
receiving a square deal on the pres
ent plant. He said no >incineratlng
plant, no matter what type or who
built II. could incinerate the kind OF
garbage being delivered to the city's
plant. This opinion. he said was
upheld by City Engineer Harry L.
Maier when the plant was first in
stalled. II am only surprised that
the plant did not, blow up" he add
cd, with the amount OF water the
garbage contains and the amount of
steam that is generated in conse-
quence."
am not here TO sell Nye plant.
Mr., Hannah reiterated. "but I would
like to see a Davis plant alongside
OF ours. II will be a good advertise
ment for our plant, as I am sure our
plant will show the Davis plant up. q"
Mr.. McManus said Council never
had any thought that the new Nye
plant would take care Of all OF the
city's garbage; Il had been antici-
pated that additional units would
be necessary.
Several OF the Councllmen ex-
pressed the opinion that the pres
ent Nye plant had not had a fair
trial, but acknowledged the fact that
Council is up against the Board OF
Health's attitude in the matter. and
that the health OF the city is more
important than quibbling over the
