"More garbag Is now being handled

An average of S5 ton a day I th
record ao far thl month.' Th hlgheat
amount' handled on . any one day ha
been 41 tons. Last month the quantity
was somewhat lees.
A few days ago the grate bare la the

down, and for several daye ewlll
mingled with the dry garbage In going

Two daye were required for the fur
nace to cool sufficiently to allow a man
to enter to make repairs. The work
was done at last, however, and aa much
of tho garbag as poastbl I being con
sumed In th furnace. -
There 1 little doubt but that th gen
eral demand for- a better garbage-die-
poaal system will result In a few
month In th construction of a mod
ern crematory, capable of Incinerating
all tho garbage of the city.
The health board ha Instructed Su
perintendent Daggett to formulate his
plans for a steel Incinerating plant, and
these will soon be threshed over by the
board. It has been suggested by Mr.
Daggett that if adequate provision-Is
made for - the burning or 1 ail tne dry
garbage received at the crematory
enough power would be generated to
light a' number of etreet lights, and
that uch a pjant would In th end be
a real economy to the oity. He believes
