We are hoping to have it in operation soon after the first of April. This coal handling sys tem will do much to relieve the hard work attached to the present method of handling coal. Coal will be carried up to an overhead storage bin by bucket elevator, Irom the yard. There it will be held in storage until carried out into the boiler room by screw conveyor. There it is discharged into a weighing device, then it is dumped into the stoker hoppers, making the trip from the rail road cars to the boiler without being handled.
