GARBAGE EXPLODES, FOUR ARE HURT, AT CITY'S INCINERATOR (Continued from Page Ona) powerful explosive gas was formed and the . refuse In the furnace was blown clear to the rafters in the roof over the dumping floor. About six barrels of the sawdust 'were hauled to the plant by George Sauers. a scavenger. This material was con cealed under a pile of wet garbage and straw, the scavenger being unacqualnt de with its dangerous explosive prop erties. When the load was dumped the garbage went Into the furnace first and owing to the fact that there had been a slight downpour of rain on the wagon when It was being loaded, the greater portion of the pulverized mix ture stuck to the wagon, only a few pounds of It dropping into the fire. Bain saves Uvea. Engineer David K. Otis, In charge of the- crematory, says if the whole load had been dumped the force of the re sultant explosion would have been so terrifies that the slant would have been a complete wreck, with the probabilities that every man in It would have been killed or maimed. - Immediately after the explosion a hurry call was sent in to Mayor Rush light and City Health Officer C. H. Wheeler! Doctor Wheeler arrived first with bandages and medicinal lotions for the Injured men. Be found that the burns were superficial and dressed the Injuries In half an hour. Two of the men were able to resume their work at once and the other two will be able to work within a week or ten days. Mayor Rushlight was greatly re lieved to learn that the accident proved to be less serious than he had expect ed It would be from the first report he received. During the recent low water period when the water front sewers were -causing a nuisance, many resi dents of the vicinity In which the cre matory Is located, blamed the plant for the bad odors that were in evidence. One man, whose Identity Is unknown to the mayor, telephoned that unless the nuis ance were abated he would go down to the crematory and dynamite the plant reared Dynamite riot. "When the first word of the explo sion came to me," said the mayor, 'I feared that something of this kind had happened. I am very glad that the ac cident was no worse. "This ought to be a lesson, however, and It demonstrates the immediate im portance of establishing a system of municipal garbage collection. It Is hard to educate some scavengers as to . the absolute necessity of segregation of ex plosive materials from ' other refuse, but if the city has charge of the col lection the men can be made to obey instructions.
