The report of the Efficiency Bureau
also called attention to the nuisance
created by the existence Of burning
dumps, to which private parties haul
rubbish. The efficiency report analyzed
existing conditions at the garbage and
trash plants. listing improvements that
should be made. The experts said the
results obtained at both plants are bet

v. II. Gottschalk and A. l.. Peterson,
who studied the problem for the Ef-
iciency Bureau. made the following OBJ
servations In conclusion:
The present methods for dispOsing
OF the three types OF refuse-garbage.
rubbish and asheS--are inadequate.
Measures for improving present con-
ditions are especially urgent In the
case OF rubbish. because the dump
nuisance has assumed proportions that
demand immediate correction.
THE installation of incinerators will
correct this condition and will at the
same time relieve to some extent the
immediate urgency for new dumps, since
all material will be reduced to ashes
before being dumped The dumps would
not then be Objectionable. However, ell
| available dumping space In the city will
soon be filled and the remedy suggested
| above would merely remove their obiec-
| tionable feature pending a detailed
study OF the future situation. as sl,e-
sested In recommendations OF this
| report.
Although the need for new plant
| Is not as Immediately urgent as for
rubbish incinerators. nevertheless. de-
tailed study should now be given the
problem OF garbage disposal, inasmuch
as arguments In favor of new plant
ere becoming increasingly unanswer-
able; consideration Of this cannot be
