Rensselaer Lumber Company To Build Storage Plant.

F. M. Donnelly, manager of the Rensselaer Lumber Co., states that his company will this year build an anthracite storage plant of about 500 tons capacity, provided with an elevator for loading and screening. This will prevent the dangers of a coal famine, as the supply will only be drawn from when the coal bins which have been used heretofore are emptied. Mr. Donnelly went to Charlotte, Mich., this Wednesday morning to investigate with the view to purchasing a patent coal conveyor for unloading coal from cars. This will considerably reduce the labor expense and doubtless prove very satisfactory. The storage plant will be erected on the north side of the railroad, just west of the present sheds.
