Cardiff Report on Methods of Disposal of House Refuse.—The following summary of the Cardiff Report is taken from The Surveyor of January 5th, 1897 :— A special committee appointed by Cardiff Corporation has just reported upon visits which it paid to a number of important towns to inspect the methods there adopted for disposing of house refuse. The deputation during its investigations was struck with the fact that in nearly every place it visited the official in charge of the works considered his method and his type of destructor the best and unsur- passable. There were, however, two exceptions to the general rule. The city engineer of Liverpool does not recommend the convey- ance of the refuse to sea in steam hoppers, and the Liverpool Corporation was contemplating erecting more destructors and discon- tinuing the steam hoppers, while at Glasgow the conveyance of the refuse of 750,000 persons into the country by rail daily is found to be no small undertaking, and the advice given there was to burn as much' as possible, so as to reduce the bulk to a minimum. As to type of destructor, the deputation believes, from what it saw, that high temperature furnaces are the best, requiring, ton for ton, no greater manual labour, and requiring fewer furnaces and less space upon which to erect them. One of the great drawbacks which the deputation finds
