In the middle of Tottenham Borough's cleansing depot, four miles or so from Charing Cross, is a one-storey building with the words "Adolt's Kindergarten" painted over the door, Inside are 40 grunting, guzzling, young pigs, the property of the borough's dustman. They are owned through the Employees' Pig Club, which was begun on £100 of the surplus funds of the men's canteen, together with 300 18s. shares. The men built the piggery according to approv-led design, bought their 40 Large Whites, and iberi Mr. H. Gurney, the department's superintendent and originator of the club, said, "There you are, lads; they've to be fed" It was ihe dustman themselves who asked certain of Tottenham's 30000 householders to save kitchen and table waste, other than greenstufls, in separate containers. The dustman collect it with the bins, but keep it separate from other refuse; it is boiled for an hour by waste steam from the plant that burns rubbish. The members of the club take it in turns to feed the swill to the pigs, to clean the sries, and to do other maintenance work. Like most other boroughs, Tottenham used to destroy the kitchen waste at a cost of 6s. a ton. The pig club gets the money for the first five tons of surplus swill sold each week; the rest goes to the borough funds. So far the material for swill is coming from relatively few houses, but now the Cleansing Department is sending out a circular to all householders and expects to be able to make 25 to 30 tons a week,
