The art of collecting and finally disposing of the miscellaneous solid city refuse not capable of removal by water carriage in sewers but requiring special cartage, is perhaps the latest addition to the various branches of municipal engineering. The older cities of Europe have already fairly met this new problem which modern city life has forced upon us, and have partly solved it. But the relatively new conditions surrounding American cities, the different social habits as well as natural and commercial environments, the comparatively uncertain character and speed of their development, and, especially, the frequent changes in city government, have tended to delay the development of many of the municipal public works in the United States.
