Trees Nothing adds more beauty to a city than fine shade trees, which abound along the streets and avenues of Yonkers. The planting and care of shade trees is under the supervision of the Department of Public Works, and is confined to the residential thoroughfares. Sewers The built–up section of the city is thoroughly drained by a system of sewers from one to six feet in diameter, discharging into the deep and swift waters of the Hudson River, consisting of over thirty–six miles of the best modern sewer construction. The system is being continually extended as needed. City Refuse The city’s refuse is collected in sanitary iron carts and wagons, all garbage and animal refuse being destroyed in a modern crematory. The city owns and operates the crematory, also the plant for the collection of refuse and for street cleaning. Public Baths Yonkers owns and operates two municipal hot and cold water bath houses, which are open every day in the year, and were patronized during 1901 by 26,384 bathers. It was the first city in this country to enter this field of advanced municipal activity, and its bath houses are used as models throughout the United States. CITY BATH NO.1
