Abstract
This paper is intended to outline briefly the principles of refuse disposal at Toronto, Ont., Canada, by the method of the high-temperature destructor.
Prior to the re-organization of the civic departments in 1913, most of the city refuse was dumped, the remainder representing about 75 tons per day, was destroyed by a low-temperature natural-draft incinerator of somewhat antique design, which was built about 1890.
