THE OREGON DAILY, JOURNAL. PORTLAND. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 23.- 1009.- (Ml 1,1 RFST LAND OF OPPORTUNITY AND UVkUII IV VMV SITE KM Dr. Esther, roM Talks of Results Found From In- " Yestigation of Garbage Question Modern , Incin erator Not Offensive. Members of the retiring- health board of Portland and Dr. E. C Pohl. city health officer under Mayor Harry Lne are almost unanimously opposed to the . rebuilding of the garbage incinerator ; at the present sit In North Portland. The greater majority favor the Bulllvan gulch location selected by a number of ,. garbage experts. ,;'',: . Among- others. Dr. Pohl said today that In her belief and that of others who had studied the garbage situation carefully there wera only two feasible theories for handling and .incinerating the garbage of roruana. une is ine building of a central incinerator at the mouth of Sullivan gulch, with suburban destructors when the growth of the city warrants such. The other is the suggestion of some experts that a large Incinerator be built outside the elty limits, and the garbage and filth trans ferred In streetcars specially construct ed for the purpose. - ' . '- Cat JTorta Portland vOs-tu" : Experts who have made a lifelong study of the handling of garbage and - refuse and Its incineration have, with out exception, eliminated the North Portland site from the list of feasible locations.' All agree that so numerous are the bad features about, the present site that it should not bo allowed to enter into a consideration of the' gar-ba-ge situation. ' t . Careful consideration of the North Portland site brings out many -bad fea tures not ' thought of before, v On Is the" long, tedious haul, through ono of - . ..UA ..Mma1i4AM,.a A a frint m tit the city, from all sections. This oint is probably the most important. ; "One bad feature about the North Portland incinerator 1 may be i under stood," said Dr. Pohl, "when it is con sidered that, It is located tn such a po sition that practically ovary ton of gar bage must be hauled to' It from the south. On the north, east and west there Is really nothing but water , and wilderness. Its location makes it neo- " essary that refuse be hauled from-the south, and the most natural rout of the garbage wagon . drivers Is through one of the best residence districts of: ons make It unpleasant to the residents. . because of the stench, but it has often: been complained that the rattle 4 and noise keeps many awake all night. On - some ; streets the wagons pass con tin u- ..' ousiy au nignb ,? .. - r ' "Between 7t and 80 ter cent of the refuse Of the city Is gathered from the central part of the east and west sides, and a well constructed and operated in cinerator built at the mouth of Sullivan gulch jcould care for all with ease and facility.- The haul would be compara tively short and easy on the teams, and It would be through such - a.- section where night noises would not be dis turbing. Too, much of tho haul-would be over the steel bridge during , hours ' between midnight and perhaps t o'clock In the morning, when trafflo Is light No one would be disturbed by wagons crossing the bridge. .. , Sullivan Ottlcb'Za Best, ;"'.'. V"",,. The Sullivan gulch site' la Undoubt edly the most feasible of all. - Resi dents of that region may not with cause complain.. Modern garbage lneln- . erators are leas offensive than most factories of any description. Also, the Incinerator planned by the old health board would be isolated to some extent. Most offensive and more so than the crematory Itself are the wagons,, and hauling garbage to Sullivan gulch they would ps during the early hours of the. morning, through a practically de serted district", , It has been suggested by experts that f i. fa fminfl 1mtiA..1M. f n aaj.nt a alta . at the mouth of the gulch, an incinera tor be built outside the limits of the pity. Members of the old health board snd Dr. Pohl admit the feasibility of this plan, lut not in preference to the downtown crematory. -- ("The plan Is to build a destructor of garbage some distance outside the city, ok a streetcar line. Special garbage rare would needs be procured, and at certain points In the city, sidetracks built from the earllnes to garbage re ceiving stations, where the wagons could haul the refuse and dump It Into the waiting ears. This plan would probably bo eostly. . ., -..-.. , Pay High for iranllng. ? "Estimates place, the number J of householders In Portland at about 80.000,'" continued Dr. Poht "At the present time each is being assessed from SO cents to 13 monthly by Indi vidual garbage carriers. Between 71 j , and SO per cent of the -garbage of the city comes rrom the business section. TJusing an average of BO cents for each nouseuoider ana taking Into consider . tion the amount of money expended for in removal or garbage in the down town district, we discovered that at least 145,000 each month was being paid out to individual garbage men. ...

Oregon Is not only the land of p poriunity dui tne iana or aoing things. The great camoaign for the develop ment of the state has borne fruit and today- there are more railroads building in Oregon man in any northwestern state. There are more actual construe tlon enterprises ' under contract than in any of the Pad (jo coast states. Ore gon has passed from the . period of projects and promotion into the realm of performance and the next few years wiu see tne state nenetrateo in ail directions with steam and electric rail roads. . -- Colonel K.

"It Is all-important that Portland should manifest a broader " policy : of publio spirit in the great campaign for open ing up the undeveloped aectlons of the state. . '! -.. v.

The garbage men are not the most ihdustrious and ener getic In the world, when it comes to taking refuse away from Isolated dis tricts." -. ' ' Location or an incinerator on mm I river bank has been considered. but has been found not to be feasible, because of the fact that it would be nee essary to build it above tne nign water mark. This would make It necessary for furnaces to be built high, with tha result that a steep grade rrom tne street to the garbage openings. Of the.funjaces would be necessary. .-: . . - - .

Light & Power company would com mence work Immediately on many other extensions, were denied by Mr, Fuller, who declared that with th great amount of reconstruction the streetcar company had under wsy and the two extensions. tha railway department would have Its hands full and would probably exhaust the budget for the present year. The fact that the streetcar company la going ahead with work on street covered by th blanket franchise re cently granted It by the city council, fully proves that Its counsel believe It secure tn th rights given by the ex ecutive body. Mr. Fuller said today that he had been satisfied that any further attempt to restrain the com pany from building on streets ' over which It Is given right by the fran chise, would Be quashed tn court More than S2S2.000 Is being spent In ine paving tor tne -canines on Haw thorne, Union.
