duct the disposal of its refuse materials that they will not create a nuisance in any other locality, and the experience of Asbury Park during the past season in permitting its rubbish to be strewn broadcast, and then burned in open fires, thus liberating smoke in large volume, and annoying all residents within a radius of at least one mile, should serve as a warning to other municipal authorities, but the nuisance caused by burning rubbish was trifling compared with the nauseating stench which attended the treatment of the garbage. The residents in the city itself did not suffer from the offensive odors, for the refuse was removed by the contractor to a point about two miles distant from the western boundaries of the corporation, but the reduction plant was the center of the trouble. The garbage was boiled in large open vats to obtain the grease, and the residue was sold to seventy-five farmers who carted it to their respective pig-pens, thus filling the atmosphere of the entire neighboring region with the odors of garbage, and rendering a large district unsuitable for pleasure riding, and repellant to all who were not engaged in raising hogs. The numerous complaints which followed this unwise distribution of decomposing refuse led to the withdrawal of the contractor from his attempt to perform the service, and resulted in the assumption of the duty by the city itself, through the health department.

The city is now considering the erection of an incinerating plant where both garbage and rubbish can be reduced to ashes without causing a nuisance.

Very respectfully,

HENRY MITCHELL,

Secretary.
