The following extract from the Bulletin may be of interest municipally :—Adelaide, already the best paved city in Australia, is now mailing its footpaths out of the contents of its rubbish-boxes and ash-barrels. It has got past tlie^stage at which it hurls the city refuse into a . furnace and just burns the stuff; it has got past the stage even at which the steam produced is converted into electric current. At its new works the current is achieved all right, but in addition the clinker from the furnaces is made into footpath slabs, and another fragment of the energy is used up in working a disinfector to which any citizen may take his goods and chattels after there have been mumps or other non-paying guests in the house.
