The disposal of municipal refuse . m of the bridge. Fig. 62 shows a typical steam-pressure card, and a two-days test of the plant is recorded on page 163 together withan estimate of the cost of operation. From these records itwill be noted that the average evaporation was poundsof water from and at 212° F. per pound of rubbish incinerated. Fig. 63 shows the design of the tile-dampers used in theflues. Figs. 64 and 65 show the smoke at the top of the stackduring the test; the former on the first day, when the rubbishwas dry, and the latter on the second day, when the rubbishwas wet. Fig. 66

Fig. 66 shows the Stirling boilers. The cost of the Rubbish-incinerating Plant was $34,,.and of the Electric-lighting Station $49, As this plant is situated next to the East River, scows,loaded at other receiving-stations are brought to the wharfopposite the plant, and kept there as surplus fuel in cases ofinterrruption to the collections from the district. It is pro-posed to construct a conveyor from the plant, across East. Fig. 57.—Cross-section of East Furnace.
