Just now it is the object of the World's study in the matter of electâ€" ric light and garbage disposal and it has achieved the remarkable success of using the street garbage or (lust for fuel to operate their immense electric plants. Shoreditch produc< es some 55 tons of dust‘ street sweep- ings any day, and this used to cost them 75 cents a ton, or some $43.00 a day to haul off into the river. Now it is all used for fuel and sup- plies the power for all these extended municipal plants. This plant fur- nishes practically all the electric \power for lights and machinery need- ed in Shoreditch, which besides fur» nishing all the municipal needs will leave a handsome profit of $0,000 a year.
