CEMENT DUST REPORT

OUT

The following Teport was submitted

at the meeting of the board of directors i of the Chamber of Commerce of East Chicago, held yesterday at noon at the j

Phillips hotel: Report of Committee on Abatement of Cement Dust. A party consisting of Messrs. Evans, Harmon and Biedinger of the Chamber of Commerce, and A. C. Welby, asslst-

fant to the president, and J. V. Shaw

of the Universal Portland Cement company visited the Eufflngton Cement plant on Tuesday afternoon, July 3rd, and were shown through the plant by Mr. Soderquist, assistant superintendent, and after an examination of the plant your committee finds as follows: The No. 4 Plant, which has twelve stacks, one for each kiln, has all of

the foundations built and considerable structural steel work for supporting the building and equipment in place. The tubes and some other portions of the dust collectors are on the ground and balance of this work is being held up for delivery of some steel, particularly that for the large radiations which must cool the gases before the dust can be collected. Each stack is to be provided with a separate dust collector consisting of one hundred and twelve pipes 12 inches in diameter by 16 feet long, making a total of 1.344 pipes. None of the electrical equipment for this plant has arrived, although we were told it had been contracted for and Is to bo shipped very soon. It is exrected that the dust collecting equipment for Xo. 4 Plant, will be in operation before next winter, unless unavoidably delayed. The hightension station, which is used for transforming the electrical energy which col-

J lects the dust, is built and the founda

tions for the electrical equipment are built. This is the plant which reclaims the dust, but does not utilize the waste heat. The Xo. 6 Plant, which emits most of the dust, has twelve stacks, one for each kiln. Each stack is to have a dust collector consisting of one hundred and forty ripes 12 inches in diameter by 16 feet long, totaling 1,650 pipes. For this plant the collector tubes and other portions of the collector are on the ground. The boilers, super-heaters and economizers, which are to absorb the waste heat, as well as to cool the ga-ses for

treatment, and the foundations for the new portions of the building and portions of the equipment, are built and the portions of the existing building are being changed to accommodate the new work. The high-tension electrical station was being built and walls were about 3 feet high at the time. The contract for the power house, which is to utilize the waste heat in generating electricity has been let to Xash-Dondle company of Chicago and work is being prosecuted on the foundations. The contract for the water intake has been let to the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock company and work had been begun. The equipment for abating the dust arising from cleaning old cement stacks

was rractically complete and was

promised to be in operation in about two weeks. It is now running successfully. To date we are Informed that over one hundred and eighty carloads of material have been received, and that to July 1st $2S0,255.26 has been spent, which with unpaid bills of material delivered totals about $430,000.00 on the ground, almost one-half of total cost of material delivered and work done, and our inspection would approximately confirm these figures. We were given every opportunity to inspect the work, end were given what information we asked for, and your committee reports excellent progress being made, considering the difficulty in obtaining material and labor, and that

the company should be commended for its efforts and progress. In conclusion, however, we cannot urge too strongly that the company continually keep before them the urgency for speedily ending the cement dust nuisance which has been very annoying lately, particularly in the "West end f the city, and if they continue the present rate of progress In prosecuting the work, we believe we will soon see an end of the dust nuisance. H. E. BKIDIXGER, Chairman or Committee.

How Water Puts Out Fire. Water puts out fire for two good reasons. First, 115 a thing is covered with water, the oxygen of the air cannot get at it to burn it. But that is not nearly the most Important reason why water puts out fire. It Is that water has a great capacity for heat, and can hold a great deal of It. It takes so much heat Into itself, and so quickly, that It lowers the temperature of the burning thing so that It can no longer burn.

Irritating Problem. It is an irritating, nay more, a deeply saddening problem for a wise dyspeptic to ponder the superabundance in this little world of ours of things cookable amid the extreme rarity of cooks. Maarten Maartens.
