NCINERAT0R NEEDED,
SENATOR HALL SAYS
Finance Board Head Fav.
OFFS Appropriation in
1923 Budget

New Britain has reached point
where a municipal incinerator is a
necessity and cannot longer be de-
laycd, Chairman Edward Z. Hall of
the board of finance and taxation
declared today in forecasting favor
able action on the recommendation
of the health department that s125,-
600 be spent for this purpose next
year.
The finance board head favors
extending the payments over n
period of five years. financing pro
cedure sanctioned by the general as
semby. In his opinion this is
preferential to lashing the cost Of
the plant on the taXpaying public
in one year.
At the same time. Senator Hall
declared against municipal colcc-
ton of garbage and rubbish. He
feels, he said, the city can obtain
better results by having a private
contractor responsible for results,
thereby saving the city the cost and
responsibility of actual supervision.
A portion of the town farm prop
critics is being favored as a site for
the reduction plant.
DR.. r. w. Pullen, superintendent
of health. has completed a report on
his investigation into the need for
a municipal incinerator and recon-
mends that a plant be constructed at
a cost of Sl25,000 with operating
costs of $4,000. The present sys-
TEN of dumping grounds costs s62,-
500 year.
DR.. Pullen stresses the need for
early action on the ground that the
plots on which dumping is allowed
are becoming fewer in number and
less space is available. Dumping
grounds also are creative nuisances
and are detrimental to adjoining
properties. the uperintendent re-
minds in his report which has gone
to DR.. Gertrude j. Kinsella, chair
man Of the board, and Councilman
Donald l.. bartlett, who heads the
council incinerator committee.

Captain Robert II. Macintosh anG

had fought vainly with violent head

four and a half hours.
Leaving Baldonnel field at ! :36
o'clock yesterday afternoon they
made good progress across Ireland
only to encounter forty mile head
wind soon after passing out to sea
over the galway coast, fifty miles TO
the north Of Ballybunnion.
Then came a dense fog, bane of
all airmen. They found it impossi-
Die to steer a true compass course.
They decided that best judgment
dictated a return, and at Ass p. M,
swung the nose of the plane back
toward Ireland, emptying one gaso-
line tank to lessen the chance OF q
crash in landing.
Circling about and passing back

their ship down at 6 p. m, on Beale

The f1iers estimate that they had
progressed perhaps 800 miles over
the sea before they decided to turn
back.

said Commandant FitZmaurice, who,
like Captain Macintosh, saw aerial

owing to an injury to his knee

Both the parties of President Co.'S
