BUSINESS in Louisville during the final ten days prior to the New Year promises almost to establish a record. It is said that railroads, express companies transfer concerns and firms doing a genera! hauling business were never so busy as during the week preceding Christmas. In addition to the holiday business large quantities of grain, polatoes and tobacco have been moving and are expected to continue to move not only at the wind-up of the old year, but well up into the new year as well.

GARBAGE REDUCTION PLANTS WOBKS BOARD DETERMINES TO TRY OUT TWO TYPES. Dealing with their recent visit to Bai-Dtitrolt. Newark and Columbus, where they inspected various kinds of ewer pipe In use wHh a view to aecicv ins: upon the best for Louisville, mem bera of the Hoard of Public Works have ubmltted a report to Mayor Head. It sets forth Chat after tabulation and com parison of the various bids submitted for two large pieces of sewer work here It wets Pound that the two best proposals contemplated the use of vi trilled segmen ts! block and re-enforce! concrete pipe. "Since neither of the above types of ewer haj ever been constructed In our city before," the report reads, "it was decided that a trip to some of the large cities U3ing these fornid of construction would afford a better opportunity of reaching a deiinltu conclusion as to the respective merits of these types or sewer than could possibly be obtained by any amount of correspondence.

"This inspection trip was made by M. W. Neal and James G. Caldwell, of the Board of Public Works, accompanied by Roy W. Burke, assistant city engl neer.

"The method of manufacture of re-en forced concrete pipe and the manner of laying of same were Investigated In Lo lumbus, Newark, East Orange and Bal timore, while the vitrified segmental tile form of construction was investigated in Detroit. "Although both the tile and the pipe were In every instance all, and In some cases even more, than we had ex pee tec aa to quality, still we with the exceotion of Baltimore, tnat the im-pe-j- tion of tiie placing and Jointing was not rigid enough to produce tne oe.nt results. In Baltimore, however, we found that with proper Judgment and care, both in the manufacture, the placing of their concrete pipe, rirst-stasa sewers were obtained. "Another very Interesting feature in connection with the drainage system of the city of Baltimore was the improvement work being doie on Jones' Fails, a creek, some-what tlmilar to Beargrass Creek, both in size and location. The work being done consists of the contsruc-tion of a concrete channel, and top, upon which a street is to be constructed.

"In reference to the two types of sewer which we were especially investigating, after giving the matter carerul consideration, the board decided that it would be advisable to construct one of these sewers, the Twenty-third-street sewer, of the segmental block, type, and the Thirty-second and Bismarck sewer with tthe look-joint or re-enforced pipe, and from our experience gained In the laying of the two different types, we would then be in a position to better judge for future work, which construction would afford the greatest assurance of a perfect sewer, and would also give us an Idea, of which of these or other types of sewers would likely be the most economical in the way of Inspection, etc. "While in New York we visited two garbage and refuse destruction plants of the Heenan type. At the time of our visit, which was in cold weather, we oouid detect no perceptible odrs. One of these plants is located In what Is seemingly a very, good residence district. "You will remember that on our trip last summer we visited several garbage reduction which, on account of the disagreeable odors omitted, we did not believe would be feasible or practical in Louisville.

The destruction plant on Staten Island, N. burns up and destroys all forms of garbage and household waste, including ashes, old bottles, tin cans, etc. The garbage and other refuse furnishes all the fuel mat is necessary to run the plants after the fire Is once gotten under way. "On Staten Island the only bi-products obtained were steam to produce light, heat and power for the plants themselves and clinkers or slack which resulted from the burning of the refuse. These clinkers were crushed and used In foundations for streets and sidewalks.

"We have had some preliminary investigation made by the engineering department In connection with the engineer of Jie Water Company and representative of the destructor people, and they represented to us that a plant or plants erected in Louisville of the necessary capacity to take care of the garbage and refuse would generate enough electrical power to run our pumping station and the engines at the filter plant, thus eliminating the cost of fuel, and otfcer expenses Incident to the running of the Water Company's engines. "Of course, this was gone into only In a preliminary way. but Inasmuch as Louisville is face to face with the very serious proposition of more sanitary garbage disposal, this preliminary investigation suggests possibilities that we believe are worthy of serious and early consideration. "The creek Improvement work in the city of Baltimore, we believe, offers a suggestion of great possibilities in our Bear-grass Creek Improvement work whldh we think Is of great Importance to consider before making any final plans for -this work." The report Is signed rsy Mr. Neal and Caldwell, of the Board of Public "Works, and First Assistant City Engineer Burke.

WHITE MEN MADDENED BY ATTACK ON 18-YEAR-OLD BOY. CHARLES HANRAHAN STABBED The arrival of the Seventh district police automobile at Sixteenth and Anderson streets at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon prevented a pitched, bat tie between whites and negroes, the whites being maddened by a beating three negroes had administered to Charles Hanrahan, an 18-year-old white boy. Lieut. Gardner -and Patrolmen Murphy' and" Davis arrested the three negroes, who gave their names as Joe Donan, George Guthrie arid Elmer Richardson. Richardson is cnarged with malicious cutting and the other two with disorderly conduct.

Hanrahan was stabbed in the side and over the right eye. -He lay insensible on the street where, according to witnesses, the negroes kicked him a number of times before the arrival of the police. The assault occurred when the negroes, driving down Anderson street in a buggy, almost ran down the boy. Hanrahan called out. for the men to look where they were going.

One of the negroes Is said to- have Jumped from the buggy and started for. the lad, who attempted to run. The negro knocked the boy against the wall of "a grocery building and then the' two other negroes joined in beating Witnesses identified Richardson as the man who 'twice lunged at Hanrahan with a knife. Only, a few persons were on the corner when trouble started and these were afraid to go. to the assistance of the boy, but called, for the police.

In a few minutes a iarge. crowd jhad collected, but the negroes are said to have held them at bay with drawn knives. The police went to assistance, of the negroes just In time. The crowd, angered at seeing the insensible boy, was. closing about them.
