I917] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS £93 T h e lump coal will be crushed to nut size, and the screenings screened out of it so that the nut coal can be stored separately. For this operation a screen and bin will be erected at the west end of the new boiler house, the elevating still being done by the conveyor. T o haul it into storage more economically, a 3j4-ton dump-body auto truck has been purchased. The reclaiming from storage will be done by means of some form of wagon loader which has not yet been purchased', which will elevate the coal from the pile into the truck to be hauled to the boiler house where it will be dumped into the coal hopper. T h e estimated cost to put this plan in operation is as follows: Build 50-ton loading bin for nut coal $ 300.00 Build bin for screenings 125.00 Plank roadway for truck 325-00 Clear roadway east of Goodwin 50.00 Remove present pipe fence on tennis courts 125.00 Build 600 feet of 6' board fence 435-00 Truck f. o. b.
