Town To Construct
Incinerator
Work Already Under Way.
Garbage Will Be Collect
ed And Burned

Through the initiative of the
Lions Club Rising Sun is to have an
incinerator, and means of disposing
of garbage, always troublesome
problem for the housewife. will be
solved for our town.
Efforts of the Lions Club, whose
members sponsored this move for
the much needed public convenience,
have borne fruit. The Club was in
strumental in having a canvass Of
the citizens, then had plans drawn
and cost determined.
This data was submitted to the
Board of Town Commissioners, who
gave favorable consideration of the
matter, deciding the plan feasible
and took steps to carry through
the construction of the plant, which
will be accomplished without any
additional increase in the town tax
rate.
Preliminary work has already be-
gun, and the building will be locat-
ed at the sewage disposal plant, west
of town.
The building will be of brick, one
story. with basement, and brick
stack sixty feet in height.
The plant will be large enough to
take care of all town garbage, which
will be collected and disposed of.
There will be no offensive odor from
the burning garbage, and practical
iy no smoke, the intense heat virtu-
ally drying up and evaporating all
the refuse. The small amount of
residue left, in the form of a fine
ash, is always in great demand as a
high grade fertilizer for lawns and
gardens.
