Garbage Men Thrilled by ‘Trophies of Hunt’ Silverware Among Valuables Found in Waste at City s Reduction Plant, Operator Reveals.

If you are missing a sweeper, an automobile part or piece of an electric train, the chances are it already has shown up at the city garbage reduction plant. Damon Jackson (above) is one of many workers who extract assorted articles from the garbage every day. The more unusual objects are tacked on an exhibit board. VIDENTLY the profession of garbage collecting has compensations j unknown to the average person. The greatest of these is the thrill of discovery. Every day workers at the ci;y reduction plant, S. Harding-st and White River, extract silver kadves, old boots, tin soldiers and assorted automobile parts from garbage which passes before them on a moving belt.

These foreign objects, Henry B. Steeg, City Engineer, explained, must be removed before the garbage can be soaked in the large “reducers” and changed into grease. This grease, in turn, is sold to manufacturers, who use it to make soap. C. K. Calvert, superintendent of the garbage reduction and sewage disposal plants, constantly is surprised at the things Indianapolis accidentally throws away. Once his workers found a faded

picture of a Civil War soldier, and in recent years they have collected enough separate pieces to make up a complete toy electric train set. The more unusual objects are mounted on an exhibit board, which is five feet high and 15 feet long. Approximately 12,000 pieces of tableware are found in the garbage every year, Mr. Calvert said. The cheaper utensils are sterilized and sent to various city fire houses

WEATHER HALTS HIGHWAY WORK; DETOURS STAND Northern Indiana Roads Icy, Driving Treacherous, Commission Says. Construction activities on Indiana's state highway system were at a standstill this week because of bad weather, so no changes were made in detours hitherto in effect. Highways in the northern part of the state are covered with ice, the State Highway Commission announced. Highway workers have been busy this week sanding the and community centers. The biggest contributors to this collection are restaurants and hotels. * n “ITTHEN these pieces are W marked, we ship them back to the eating places in bucketsful and let them try it again,” Mr. Calvert said. “Sterling silverware is kept here, and often people come in and identify lost articles. To do this, however, they must bring along another piece from their set.” Mr. Calvert said careless restaurant workers, nervous wives, and children chiefly are responsible for many of these objects getting to the plant. “Sometimes a woman will clear off a dinner-table and forget to take the knives and forks out when she throws away the garbage,” he said. “When children get tired of toys, they often put them in garbage cans, which shows pretty good reasoning at that.” WPA sewer cleaning jobs are in great demand, according to Mr. Steeg, because often the workers find tidy sums of money during the day. Recently these men extracted six fire extinguishers from a sewer, and once they brought up a loaded .45 caliber revolver. Mr. Steeg estimates the city handles 32,000 tons of garbage a year.
