THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D5 ¢ . _WEDNESDAY, 5, 1935. DSTRCY T0BURN ADDTONALTRASH Incinerators Are Opened and Strong Plea Made for More Funds. Acting promptly to prevent creation of new dumps in or near the National | Capital, the District government to- | day opened its two incinerators for commercial trash, which no longer | may be burned in_Arlington County Meanwhile, the Budget Bureau was considering a plea from the Commis- sioners for approval of a supplemental appropriation of $60.000 needed to continue disposal of the commercial trash through the new fiscal vear, be- ginning July 1 The Commissioners asked for quick and favorable action so that the item may be added to the general de- ficiency bill now before Congress. Only residential and government trash now is burned at the incinerators. Found Money for Month. Unless this is granted, it is said, the commercial houses and apart- ments will be thrown again on their own resources and officials fear cre- aiion of some new burning dump that would be objectionable to residents of some suburban community. District found a sum of $5.000 available for employment of addi- t 1 men needed to handle the com- mercial trash this month. But this could not be done throughout next year without serious disorganization of other units of the City Refuse Division. Modern, scientific disposal of tras s not as simple and cheap a matter as some suppose. officials say. but | they argue that it pays dividends in effecting a cleaner, more healthful city. 39 More Men Needed. Fifty-three workmen now are need- ed to operate the District's incinera- tors, one at Georgetown and one at First and O streets southeast. nine additional men would be required to add an extra shift to present oper- ations. No less than 110,826,000 pounds of trash have been burned at these plants in the past 10 months. The trash business is on the increase. even with- out the commercial discards. Mate- rials received at the plants t May were 13 per cent greater than in May last year. Trucks loaded with trash are backed up on the loading platform of the plants and a workman is needed there to see that the trucks dump the trash in the right place. Over the receiving bin is a large crane handling a grab bucket, which owered into the re- ceiving bi ake up the trash. A mechani eded on the crane. A loaded bt moved across the room to drop the trash into a hopper to the furnace. A workman platform feeds the material hopper, Garbage Not Burned. Below firemen are busy continuously £toking the furnace to draw out clink- | ers and other materials which would clog the fire. From the furnace ashes are dropped to a lower chamber, where they feed into trucks for disposal else- where. The system requires oilers for machinery, watchmen, truck drivers, & tractor dr; s in ad- dition to mechanics and labore Garbage is not burned at the in- cinerators. That refuse is taken to Cherry Hill, Va. D. C.

Gas company officials have made a | 40 per cent boost since January in | their estimates of expenditures for additions to their plats and distribu- | tion system during the present vea: it was revealed today as public hear- ings on gas rates were continued be- fore the Public Utilities Commission. In contrast to this increase in esti- | mates, it was brought out by commis- }‘xlun counsel that the company esti- mates for expenditures for plant en- | largement in 1934 were within 2.5 per | cent of outlays actually made last year. The development came during a | continuation of testimony by E. J. Boothby, vice president and general | manager of the Washington Gas Light | Co., under cross-examination by Hin- | man D. Folsom, special assistant cor- | poration counsel. | Boothby had explained previously that the estimates for this year were raised because of the building boom | started this year and the District's street paving program, which required | | the utility firm " to perform under- ( ground work before permanent street | surface is laid. In the Fall of 1933 the company engineers figured additions to the plant | | in 1934 would cost $385,650. Closely | questioned by Folsom, Boothby told | the commission actual outlays in 1934 | totaled $375764, or 2.5 per cent less. | | Last August or September—Boothby | said he was not sure just which month —company officials estimated the needed plant and distribution systems | additions this year would cost $45 | 000. This sum was approved by the | directors of the Washington company in January. Folsom brought out that the company, prior to the opening of the present rate hearings, boosted its | estimates for additions to be made this year to $644,000. If the company's new estimates are allowed by the commission. it will add ! Just so much more to the valuation of the company, on which future rates to customers will be based. The com- mission recently fixed the value of the Washington and the Georgetown com- panies at $16,993,000, but that was as of July 1, 1932. Testimony now is con- cerned with additions since that date and expected outlays for the whole of this year.
