<br /> I report as follows: By making some transfers in personnel we have been able
<br />dispose o~ almost doubie the quantity of burnable rubbish and garbage at the City incinerator and this has reduced
<br />by a large quantity the amount of rubbish burned at the dump and we have extinguished as much of the fire as it
<br />possible to do so at the presen~ time and have relocated the portion of the dump that is being burned regularly.
<br />I h~e been advised by one of the residents of this area that they are no longer~buthered With the smoke, condi-
<br />tion daused by burning trash at the city dump.
<br /> Our condition at the incinerator is not entirely satisfactory. It is going to
<br />require considerable alterations of the incinerator in order that we may continue to burn the amount of rubbish
<br />we are now bu~ng and to rake care of the continued increase in our garbage collections. We are having this mat-
