Crematory proposal praised as sanitary solution for city
An East Side reader argues for a municipal or private crematory and garbage furnace as the sanitary answer for a city of its size. The plan would recycle waste into glycerine and soap, bones into fertilizer, horns into glue, and burn only the truly worthless material. Taxing must align with each household or business’s garbage output, says H. H. Undegraff of New Castle Garbage Co., who advocates proportional charges based on the number of cans used.
