Sites are beingsought, and appropriationmade therefor, for a moderngarbage destructor on theoutskirts of Flushing, whichwill relieve the necessity ofdisposing of garbage in thecrude, insanitary way ofusing same to fill the neigh-boring lowland. Thanks to the most as-siduous care and thoughtgiven to the Gutman Swamp The Niantic ciub proposition by our Commis-sioner of Health, Dr. Haven Emerson, contracts have been alreadyawarded for the pipingand drainage of these 129 acres of inundated landdown to Flushing Creek, well to the rear of the Forest Hills section, andthis highly desirable and most important work will be shortly accom-plished by assessment upon the benefited property owners. The cost is$24,000 and the time limit of contract 120 days. There is every reasonable hope and expectation that Flushing—one of the garden spots of Queens—will go on unfettered and unham-pered by the health perils which had surrounded it, a place to live, tothrive, and to glory
