Cl-CDi; DAILY JCUIlirAL, IOr:TLAID, IIOIJDAY EVENING,, DECEMBER 2, 1312. Ail. - EM FIflilS . mmm Garbage Situation Is Becom ing So Grave That City May S.oon Face Immediate Dan ger of Plague, He Says. New Labor-Saving Device Placed in Mailing Room of Local Postoffice Gay Lombard today took a firm stand In favor of the construction of another garbage Incinerating plant, asserting that men and women' of ; Portland who are interested In the feneraljiealth .of -the city should Inaugurate a campaign of education. , , The plant, he said, should be located - on the east side for sanitary and busl- nca reasons. "At" the special city election held No vember 3," a measure authorising the sale of $100,000 of city bonds "for the purpose of erecting a new incinerating plant, was defeated," said Mr. Lombard. "There Is a vital necessity in Portland a today for another incinerator. The lo cation 1 of the ' presents plant is satis factory" as far as the territory it serves is concerned, but !t is not good business to haul garbage from the Isolated sec tions of the city mile after mile through our streets to the present plant. This means not only a waste of money owing to the long haul, but it also tends to in crease the trafflo on our main arteries with the unsightly and unsanitary scavenger wagons used today. "I regard it as a matter of vital im portance that a new Incinerator should be built On the east side of the .river, locating it on a site that will bring about the greatest degree of centralise " tlon as far as hauls are concerned, and also a site that will be the least ob- Jontionible to the people on the east ' A Stltoh Id Time. ' "' "From1 a sanitary and health stand point present conditions are extremely objectionable. The present plant is en tirely; inadequate as far as providing for the entire city is concerned, and if we do, not provide another plant so that : we cans properly e incinerate the entire garbage! and refuse of the city, we are liable to find ourselves at any time in a condition that will hurt the city most seriously. Ban Francisco spent the cost of many incinerators in fighting the bubdhic plague, and there is to more reason why we should be immune from .that scourge than there was in the case ..of San Francisco." -. .-,,J .." "The health and safety of the city urgently demand further facilities along i these lines, and Z believe if the voters ' of this city were to make a study of ' the situation and were to Understand It thoroughly that they would not hesi tate to' advocate the issuance of bonds to provide proper facilities. I urge the submission to the people t the June electloa of an -ordinance authorising a bond issue of 1160,000 for this pur pose; and in rase the same should carry I think that this city should employ the best technical advice available and build an absolutely modern and sanitary tilsnt. ' i "We should seek outside technical ad vice from the best sanitary engineers in ,the country, . We have done this in-re gard to our park system, In connection !v.ith the building of an auditorium, and - also -in 'connection with the plans of 'the public dock commission, and there 'Is' no reason why we should not have 'the benefit of the best authorities in IB -, ft 1913 Mil FACES A D CAP Promoters Fear New Public Auditorium May Not Be Ready in Time. - ' Pick-up table now In use in postoffice an'd. clerks In teadlness .for oper ation of machine. . f" '"''.'' i Fear that the publlo auditorium will not be ready to use next year has given check to the plans for the ".MS land show. "We must have a building suited to the land show as well as to other gath erings," declared A. P. Bateham, presi dent of the Oregon Btate Horticultural society, today. - . ' . ."The building we .had for. the 113 land, f how, was not suited to the pur dob v It did not give setting, to a con- cress of ; land products that when ex hibited opened the eyes of thqse Wh thought they knew Oregon best, 'r "We seriously need "the publlo audi torium. X. do not believe we can plan upon a big scale for the 191S land show bnill we know whether it can be built " or not. "The purpose was to dwarf the great ness of the land shpw Just ended by, the land show of ,1913. v With" proper place for the show we can give an exhibition that will demonstrate what every dis trict of the three states is best adapted, for, and what-are" their-greatest suc cesses.'. "We can bring together exhibits to be seen for two weeks by the people, then used as feeders for the permanent exhibit -of the" Chamber of Commerce, and, also to be sent east to other land shows.-' " 1 ' ' "We can bring together organizations of the northwest that are concerned in the development of the country in such number and importance' as to have one or more big meetings going on all the time of the land show. , , , t Larger Building Seeded. , "But we cannot carry out plans on so splendid a scale without a building constructed to , take care of such an enterprise.- X repeat, we seed and must have the auditorium, if we are to give a 1913 land show on the scale warranted by the success of the land show Just ended and Its certainty of permanent benefits." - Mr. Bateham did not attempt to criti cise the auditorium commission for tree fact that two years have elapsed since the bonds for building the auditorium were voted by. the people. He says he concurs with many thousands of Port land's citizens in the belief that an audi tortum properly built and placed is a sufficiently serious need to warrant ifiutrguncy action. . OSCAR E.

These bonds have not been, sold and no progress has been made along the lines of the establishment of such a system, the city authorities claiming that the present capacity of ou incinerator would be over-taxed if more garbage 'twere to be brought there for Incinera tion. ' While I believe in a municipal garbage collection system, I consider the proper facilities for disposing of the garbage of the city as more Important; and It might be well at the present time not. to dispose of the bonds authorised for the garbage collection system, and ask the people to provide funds for the erection of a new Incinerator.: "in this manner the total additional expense would only be 175,000, and then when we have once succeeded In secur ing the proper facilities for the dis posal of our garbage we. can again take Aip the problem of the collection of the same by .tno ouy. were again, as in every other branch of the city's busi ness, all political considerations should be absolutely eliminated and the advice of the foremost authorities is the Unit td States on this subject should be se cured and followed." .

It has been found that automatic can celing has increased the efficiency' of the clerks many , hundred fold over the efficiency of the old,' hand method. One of these machines pow does in the same time, the work of eight of the old hand canceling clerks. The Cummins pickup table faces the letters for canceling. Previously the mailing clerks have had to take evwy letter, big and little turn them face up and jtaokthe letters in neat, regu lar piles so that they would fit. the machine that marked the stamp. . ''., : --"Table 80 Test long. The pickup table is to feet long and four and one half feet wide. It Is entirely of steeL As many as eight olerks can work at this table and all line up on one side. A few inches from the edge of this side are slots under which are moving endless belts. A sack of mail is spread across the middle of th table. '-r The clerks take the let ter, face the stamp toward themselves .nrf droB it in one of the slots.' The belt carries it to the end of the table wher a device automatically stacks the letters. A long arm, bearing thU constantly increasing stack, reaches out against the canceling machine. An op erator there removes the - sucks and places tbera on tbe other machine as fast as the canceling process . can be carried out. IFF H I jL Jail tllA slots on the table In one tha regular sued envel opes are dropped, and in the other the large-envelopes are placed. It has been found that nine tenths of the letter mall consists of the regular Bleed en velope. ; ' ' Ktnoh Time Saved. Prepared to accept the tabde as a great help, because the . government after long and extensive investigation had adopted it, clerks at the mailing division were astonished at its efficien cy after it had been in use for a few days. . Immense sacks of mall disap peared like maglo under the deft fing ers of the mall handlers, to reappear at the end of the table in long,, neatly faced stacks, ready for the final pro case before distribution. The govern ment' claims - that the, effictoncy .of clerks, who are engaged in this partic ular work, may Increase SO per cent That point has not been reached local ly yet, but the clerks have no reason to doubt but that it will be as soon as they are entirely at home with the table. But whether or not the ability of the handlers ever reaches that point, they are satisfied with the machine, because on the day that it was placed in op eration, .- the mall was disposed ' of in the - short ee t -time'- ever- known at the local office. - And each - day since that time the handling has been more rapid. . ttrst oa -Coast. At times during the greatest rushes in the department 12 men were engaged in hand facing. Only eight men work at the pickup table and during the rush periods of last week they disposed of the mall as quickly as 12 men had be fore. There is no one set of clerks on gaged at this table as the duties of all are various. The motive power for the table Is an electrlo motor. . It was through the-inltlaUve.of Acting Postmaster Williamson, that the table wee. secured. The government is not supplying all: the offices with It as it is - very - expensive r The machine has been In operation- in the Chicago post offices, where It underwent a thorough experimentation for a year.
