Salvage

Continued from Page One)
tual collection OF rubber is expect
ed to be provided soon also. For
the present, scrap rubber is to be
taken to junk dealers rather than
service stations as before.
Mr.. Schill said that some dis
cussion had been held on the pos
sibility OF removing old railroad
tracks from the city as a W.PA
project. II has been estimated
by the committee that between 40
and 90 tons of steel could be sal
yaged by such a project.
There is some doubt. however,
as to the advisability OF such a
project because we are not sure
that the need Is great enough TO
justify tearing up streets with
traffic conditions as they are
here" Mr.. Schill. stated.
Although the stress of the metal
drive has been placed on iron and
steel, copper and brass, aluminium,
zinc and lead also are needed.
Copper is found in such articles as
electric lamp bulbs, washing and
ironing machines, refrigerators,
vacuum cleaners. copper kettles,
and electric cords Several OF the
aforementioned articles also con-
tain zinc. Old car batteries each
contain enough lead for three
three-inch anti aircraft guns or
three rs nm. howitZers. or 20
tank guns, 81 nm. Anyone now
purchasing new battery must
turn in an old one. Dealers. in
turn. must dispose of old batteries,
within 30 days.
All metals are to be turned in
to junk dealers as well as rope,
burlap and rags and for the pres
ent, rubber. Collapsible tin tubes
are still being received at drug
stores and waste fats are TO be tax
en- to food stores
Persons having considerable
quantity OF scrap materials still
may have 1t removed Thursday by
street department employees by no.
