i FILLS NOT UNSANITARY SAYS READ City Dads View Garbage} Dumps on Tour Is the city of Seattle made of gar dage? This is the question that Is to be} gettied by Mayor Caldwell and city | officials who were taken by Health| Commissioner H, M, Read Thursday on an inspection tour of the munic- ipality’s 16 garbage dumps, Whether garbage, now collected by the city and used in making “sant: | tary fills,” is oxidized and destroyed in a short time in the “fills,” is a question much<oubted by various taxpayers of the city who have pro tested vigorously against the estab: lishment of garbage dumps in resi dential districts. Dr. Read declared Thursday that the sanitary fills are absolutely “san- itary.” He said that this method of disposing of garbage has long been im use in many cities and has been found satisfactory. READ EXPLAINS METHOD OF FILL “The garbage is mixed with ashes or dirt.” he explained, “and ts laid in layers. The fill is carefully cow ered with soil, Within six months the garbage has become completely oxidized and is indistinguishable from ordinary earth.” Dr. Read took the city officials about the city and showed them nu- merous places where ravines had been filled, canyons bridged, house lots filled and boulevards built—out of garbage. At least one playfield-—that under the Madison st. bridge—was de out of garbage. and almost the éntire shoreland on the east side of Green Lake was built up in the same man- ner. NOT UNSANITARY DOCTOR SAYS The sanitary fill was introduced here about eight years ago. bbe placed the old incinerator me' of garbage disposal, which was costing the city an exorbitant amount of money to operate, Dr, Reed declared that the present method of sanitary fills saves the average home owner from $5 to $15) @ year. He denied that the fills are) im any way & menace to health or Sbnoxious to surrounding home owners. . . Kansas City, he asserted, copied the idea of the sanitary fill from Se attle, and it has proved satisfactory im San Francisco and other cities of the country.

Duck and wife have at last been located. The couple mysterfously dis. appeared from their residence on the shore of the enclosed pond in Woodland park one Sunday night, and nary a quack had been heard from them since. Word, however, was received at the park office yesterday that two white expert swimmers had recently established themselves in the vicinity of the Green lake bath house, Upon investigation ft was dis covered that A, Duck and wife had left their Woodland park domicile for the purpose of mak- ing 4 summer sojourn on the Green lake shore, one-half mile distant, which they left two years ago, when taken to the pond.
