The action of the soil bacteria is to m-ineralize the organic matter in the refuse. In order to pre- vent the-occurrenoe of putrefactive or other objeCtion'abl-e odours the miner- al’izing process must be carried out in the presence of sufficient oxygen or air. To secure these conditions the following points should be observed (1) The garbage should not be buried too deep nor should ‘it be spread in too thick 3 layer on the ground. (2) The ground used should be sufficient- ly porous and well drained to admit the air readily. (3-) The garbage should be mixed with enough )tber soil to prevent overloading the soil. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Robertson announce the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth to Clamnce L. Wood, of Rochester, which took place on May 9th at the Baptist church, Jefferson avenue, Rochester. Mr. Walter J. Guilett, of LoniIon, Eng., is visiting his ‘sister, Mrs. P. Mitchell, Kent-st. The reception announced to be held in the Cambridge st Methodist Church'on Thursday of ’this week has been postponed until Tuesday eveâ€" ning, May 20th. The members of the congregation and adherents will kindâ€" ly accept the invitation for Tuesday evening, from 8 to 10 o’clock. Stranâ€" gers made welcome. Burning or burying is the most de- sirable method of disposing of ashes, rubbish, manure and garbage in cit- ies. Of these, burning is the most sanitary, and no other means should be used in cities having a. pOpuL'ation of, say, 20,000, or more. Refuse in- cinerators are of two main types (1) the coal fired or, “low temperature,” and (2) the high temperature. The latter is designed to handle mixed garbage without the use of coal. Very few of these have as yet been in stalled, and their advantages have not been entirely proven. For the coal-fired incinerator a long-flaming coal of good quality is essential. This, of course, makes ihe cost of op- eration all but prohibitive for most small: cities and town-5.1 In addition to these 75 new loco- motives, the system’s eqtuipment is to be augmented by the addition of 8.000 new box cars. Four thousmd of these have been contracted for in Canada, 2,000 being from the Canada Car and Foundry Company, and a similar number from the Eastern Car Company. Four thousand of these new cars will also be constructed in the United States, 3,000 .at the plant of the Western Steel Car Company, and 1,000 cars of the Gondola, type at the Pressed Steel Company’s Works. Mr. S. Nevison, of Fenelon Fall-s, was in town ‘today. He has sold his farm stock and implements and is leaving- this week to take up residence in Michigan. In such cases, other means of re-‘I fuse disposal must be obtaimd. To simply dump ganmge in an unrestric-‘ manner on some vacant lot should 'be classed as a criminal of- fence, and punished accordingly. The practice of burying refuse, where it is carefully carried out, is usually found to be cheap and at the same time ef« fective. i These Conditions are obtained 11. different ways. In some uities the re- fuse is spread on the ground and then ploughed under. Another math-id is that of digging a trench. covering each day's collectiOn of refuse w’xth the soil. removed for the next day's supply. In- any case, refuse that can be burned should be so treated and garbage and other organic waste can be more effectively handled by mix- ing it with other waste such as ash- es, street sweepings, etc. It is claim- ed that 1.5 acres are necessary to handle each daily tan of garUage per- manently. The soil can be ref-used at the end of two years. The Grand Trunk Railway has iust placed rolling stock orders of unusual magnitude, calling for the expendi- ture of big sums of money. Fifty large locomotives of the Mi- kado type have been ordered from the Montreal Locomotive Works, and 25 locomotives of a. similar kmd from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Refuse disposal is usually a serious problem for the small city or town to solve. In such cases public incinâ€" erators are not always economical and the ordinary dump needs careful regulation to prevent it becoming a nuisance.
