The consumption of power at the works is chiefly 

 for the operation of the cranes which lift and dump 

 tin- refuse wagons, for the machinery which grinds up 

 the clinker, for blowers which facilitate combust inn. 

 t'r certain small pumps, and for illuminating pur- 

 poses. 



The electric current produced by the burning <>f 

 refuse in this plant in 1906 was used subsequently for 

 the purposes and in the amounts specified below: 



At the refuse destructor: 13 motors, consuming 400,400 

 kilowatts annually; 18 arc lights and about 150 

 incandescent lights, 63 kilowatts annually. 



On the electric refuse boat: 10,000 kilowatts annually. 



For the city sewers: 4 motors, couples, with a centrifugal 

 pump; motors for 2 air pumps; 2 motors for use in 

 connection with screens for removing coarser solids 

 from the sewage and for incandescent lights; 486,200 

 kilowatts annually. 



For the city water works: 8 arc lights and various incan- 

 descent lights; 1500 kilowatts annually. 



For a private consumer: for 1 motor, 3100 kilowatts 

 annually. 



Total, 964,200 kilowatts annually. 



The utilization of this power brings in a certain 

 return annually. The quantities of refuse con- 



Quantities 



sumed each year and the average performance of Refuse 

 of a single burning cell per day are given in
