    Vll Price 15s. Net. The Removal and Disposal of Town Refuse. By WILLIAM H. MAXWELL, Assistant Engineer and Surveyor, Leyton Urban District Council. The whole question of the collection and disposal of town refuse and parti- cularly the important question of the erection and practical working ot the various types of Refuse Destructors, is most exhaustively dealt witli.
