I'CII mysterious conjecture re
sulted when, ho in u time ago,
two cuiuiciliiitm left Mnrsli-
In peril liy koIiik to l'urtlund,
field
and It leaked out tliat they wore to K,lg (0 )L. n 0xK wet winter and a
liivoMlwitu nil 'Incinerator." Noliody I Unon duster Is n mlBlity poor sub
knew what that was. anyway, and gtitnto for a rain coat.
BUcmos ranged from new Jail flxtur-, t npectful Itenilnder Cnrl Al
es (with piohlliltlon rlt?ht In slulit) I trccht says the city hasn't pot any
to a niiu'hlne for washing gold out of, thliiR to bIiow for its bonded Indobt
Band. One experienced objector had c,i,,ess. My iioodness. Carl, did you
to he' Btralf;ht-Jacketed while a dic
tionary was brought to convince blm
that the fathers didn't ko to buy
another steam roller, disguising theli
' purpose with teclmiral terms.
I Another fearsome patriot thought
'tho city was Bolng Into tho chicken
I'lntRliiess.
f However, the mystery was cleared
i up, it Is now understood what an In
cinerator is, and bow much It cobIs,
and this project stands out boldly I
rttX it rl1 fill ft nVni fltl f frtfH.111(1 '
by our high salaried councilman
which bnsn't stirred up slathers of
abuse nnd talk of a recall, yet.
An Incinerator makes gas out 01
garbage, and the gas Is sold at a
profit. Xow comes tho City Engineer,
I and throws cold water on the thing
by saying thro Is not enough gar
l lingo to make tho thing pay.
1 Xow wo can apprcclato vhat
wealth wo have carelessly thrown
1 away In closing Mill Slough. Hut still
! tho Iiooster asserts that Marahflold
I can meet this test. Considerable ovi
I denco is visiblo to tho naked nose;
I but let us fully examine our resour-
I CCS.
I There a enough left In tho "lake"
l at tho Xorth arm of Mill Slough to
run tho incinerator for a long tlmo.
Tlion wo liavo only to get In under
! tho wharves along water front to
I open up n veritable gold mine, If this
i machine works. Then lot tho tiru
, limits start In at tho Chinese build
ings on Second and Highland, and
work- South nnd Hast, yanking out
tho tin cans and other trcaBiires
which liavo escaped tho low, lovol
( glances of tho police, and tho result
'will astonish our best statlstlcans.
Wo have pointed out tho sources
of u big supply, lint thero is stlh
to bo nppreciaed by tho cadeful foro
slght of tho general public in
providing for such a contingen
cy as now faces us. All over
tho city many people- have,
with a sort of prescience, oluding tho
activities of our "annual clean-up,"
and hidden their treasures in care
fully guarded places. Just shovthom
that taxes will bo reduced, and tho
aroma of tho offerings brought forth
will even kill tho stench raised by
outsiders coming In hero to look at
their puchascs In Crawford Point.
Last of all, wo must not overlook
tho prudenco of tho street cleaning
department, which for sovoral yours,
Iin3 been busily collecting rcf
uso from ono street, nnd care
fully depositing It in another,
or In Konfo alley or conveni
ent near spot. Tho llttlo end
of tho grading on Anderson Avenuo,
just Hast of Tenth Btreot, offors it
'good cxamplo of this commendablo
practlco.
Wo might bo moro Toutonlc In
our thoroughness, In a pinch, and
point out many other possibilities,
such as tho removal of what Is looso
I In many of tho houses offered for
lent, but wo rest our caso for tho
present and hope that wo havo clear
ly shown tho feasibility of tho pro
ject. It should not bo turned down
too readily.
