LOWDEN AIDE DENIES OPPOSING WILLIS Man Plans No Against Senator's Cam- paign in Ohio. Illinois Br the Asspciatad Press CLEVELAND. Ohin, March 8 —For- mer Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Tllinois Hoover because of his | | Action John G. Crane, superintendent of | the District's present garbage reduction | plant at Cherry Hill. told Senator Copeland that is the logical location. He testified that in the past 10 years | the District has paid for the plant from the revenue derived from the sale of grease, and that only last year Congress acquired the land on which the plant is located. He explained that the garbage collected in the city each day is on the railroad cars at New Jersey avenue and K street southeast ty night, and is transported to Cherry Hill at a cost of only 1'; cents per ton per mile. H» declared the District’s plant would compare favorably with any in the United States, and that in some vears it _has shown an operating profit of $100.000. Establichment of the three incinera- tors within the istrict was favored by the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, through David Babp and J G. Heft by Dr. Harrison E. Howe of the Cathe dral Heights Citizens’ Association, and J. C. L. Ritter, a resident of south- t. who presented a petition bearing several thousand signatures. While advocates of the plan for three incinerators within the city emphasized | the point that modern high-temperature incinerators are not objectionable, Mr. { Tucker and Dr. Percival Hall of the | Columbfa Institution for the Deaf, ook | 1ssue. | Ran on City Site. Mr. Tucker sald people of the North- |cast would not advocate moving the erday evening. | tee would give careful thought to all | of the District did not want & reduction plant in the District, and were willing to pay the cost of having this service réndered outside the city. 1 ‘The new garbage plant which the Efficlency Bureau would establish in the city, would be of a type to reclaim three by-products from garbage, name- ly: grease, stock-feed for cattle. and fer- tilizer tankage. The 'purpuar in recom- mending that one of the three trash incinerators he placed adjacent to this new reduction plant is to use the heat thus generated to help run the gar- bage plant. The efficiency experts further recom- mend that facilities be provided at the other two proposed incinerators for loading of ashes and residue from the incinerators onto scows for transporta- tion to Gravelly Point or Blue Plains. Nuisance Is Cited. ‘The report of the Efficlency Burean also called attention to the nuisance created by the existence of burning | | dumps, to which private parties haul existing conditions at the garbaze and trash plants, listing improvements that should be made.
