All the above coal would be produced in the Danville District, Vermilion County. These bids were in response to 368 inquiries which we sent out, and notices published in local and Danville papers. T h e bids were publicly opened by Mr. H. E. Cunningham. Samples of coal for boiler tests were obtained from the low bidders on coal to be shipped by rail and from the Oakwood Coal Company which delivers by truck. Test was also made of coal being delivered by truck from miscellaneous wagon mines in the Danville district. T h e Binkley Coal Company, one of the low bidders, was unable to furnish a sample car as they are not producing at this time due to a fire which destroyed their tipple. T h e purpose of the tests was to determine the cost of coal per 1,000 pounds of steam generated. T h e results, as shown on the enclosed report prepared by the Physical Plant Department, were as follows:

^Original bid was on 5,000 tons; changed to 10,000 tons in letter dated October 19, 1936.
