EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
Athletic Association - 2 November 10, 1927 Method £. The installation of a side walk elevator, electric or hydraulic, to be high enough so that ashes can be dumped direotiy into motor truck. When not in use the upper part would be under the roadway out of sight. Method j>. Installing a permanent enclosed vertical ash elevator against the west wall of the boiler room. The ashes to be put into wheelbarrows, pushed up a ramp, dumped into loading hopper of elevator, carried to top and delivered through present window opening near northwest corner of boiler room to ground level, then to be shoveled into motor truck. Method j\ A permanent enolosed vertical ash elevator against the west wall of the boiler room. The ashes to be put into wheelbarrows, pushed up a ramp, dumped into loading hopper of elevator, carried to top and delivered to a portable conveyor, the latter discharging the ashes into a motor truck. The portable unit to be supported on wheels and stored in the Stadium garage when not in use. It is the opinion of the writer that methods 1 to inclusive will not prove very satisfactory, because of (a) interferring with the storing and handling of the coal, (b) some ashes dropping into the coal, (c) the motor and elevator installed in close quarters will hinder repairs, and (d) methods 3 and 5 will be quite costly. On the other hand, methods 6 and 7 offer a number of advantages such as, (a) not affected by storing or handling of coal, (b) more easily installed and maintained, (0) nearer boilers, (d) possibility of shoveling directly into elevator hopper, and {e) better motor truck facilities on west than on north side of 8tadium, and others.
