General Shale Moves to Meet City Smoke Ordinance
General Shale Products Corporation informs Herbert Scruggs that it will fully cooperate to comply with the city smoke law. Plant superintendent George Sells notes $6,000 already spent on four spreader stokers for a 200 horsepower boiler and plans a $15,000 diesel shovel to replace steam gear. The firm aims to buy low-volatile West Virginia coal to meet Kingsport limits, expecting costs to rise about 38,200 annually, while Scruggs cautions that coal choice should favor even burning and may not raise overall operating costs. He commends the company for its efforts toward smoke elimination and ordinance compliance.
