RECONSTRUCTION OF REFUSE DESTRUCTOR - CESSATION OF
STEAM SUPPLIES TO DISINFECTING STATION
During the summer the reconstruction of the Refuse Destructor commenced which meant
it was no longer possible for steam to be supplied to the Disinfecting Station as before.
It was decided that the most suitable alternative method of raising steam was to hire a
vertical coke-fired cross tube boiler and for one of the Disinfecting Station staff to
act as stoker. This arrangement has proved satisfactory and it is anticipated it
will have to continue until the autumn of 1962 when the Destructor should be able to
recommence supplying steam to the Station.
