Th2 proposed incinerator would be | eapabl> of reducing 1,000 cubic yax:s of | trash a day. The irreducible r-sidue | would be hauled to a dump to s tablishod at Blue Plal D. C. The, entire project, which would involve th* | concrete_road from Anacostia Brid e, # to Blue Plains would cost approximately 750,000, according to Maj. Davison’s estimate. The ‘plm however, met with vigorous opposition from George C. . Havenner of the Anacostia Citizens’ Association and Allan Davis, of the Southesst Citizens’ Assoeiation. Compared to “Hacker Plan.” Havenner described the project as a | Mmodification of the Dld “Hacker plan,” which he declared is “one of the most | expensive and ridiculous plans” that could be adopted for refuse disposal.| Aside irom hauling trash across the, f¢ he said the plan would | entire ctiy, causc the construction of an unneces- | sary and expensive road. Davis opposad the locatfon of the in-} cincrator in Southeast Washington as well as the plan to haul the “tailings” to Blu: Plains. This would increase| traffic on the already congested Ana-; costia Bridge, he said, and neccssitate | thcdcunstrucuon of a new and c‘(ptl’!s!\(' roa ‘Havenner and Davis both spoke in fa- | vor of the plan recommended some time | 820 by the Federal Bureau of Eficiency. | roviding for the location of three | odern incinerators along the water | {4 front, one ‘of which would bz operated in conjunction with the new garbage feduction plant. “If the Commissioners {lo to Congress with this new plan,” said avenner, “a very large element of the | citizens of Washington will oppos® it.” Davison Reviews Situation. Maj. Davison then announced he | Wwould not recommend the adoption of Z7any plan that would meet the npposs- tion of the majority of the citizens. He | Opened the conference with a genenl feview of the ¢rash disposal problem and declared “the time has com® when Washington must of netessity, replace first its trash plant and later its gar- bag: reduction plant at Cherry Hill, Va.” | ‘The ash disposal probiem, Maj.
