Book excerpt: Excerpt from Refuse Disposal and Power Production The production of power from refuse is essentially a modern development, most of the Destructors combined with Electricity and Sewage Works having been erected within the past three years. In the main, this is my explanation for undertaking the preparation of this work, which has involved a considerable amount of labour. Having been responsible for a work on "Refuse disposal," published rather less than three years since, I feel that an explanation is due to the reader. It has been my endeavour to place sanitation in the forefront as the primary object of the Destructor, and although the power derived is such a valuable asset, yet we must recognize the Destructor as a sanitary necessity, whether the power can be fully utilized or not. There can be no doubt that the disposal of refuse by the agency of fire has become increasingly interesting to both the lay and professional mind by reason of the very satisfactory amount of power now produced therefrom. This progress will probably not commend itself to the ultra-sanitarian, as being altogether satisfactory, and there are some who deplore the commercial - or power aspect of the question. They would have refuse destroyed everywhere, whether power was available or not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
