The Nu-Fuel Company plans to build plants in Lawrence and other cities at an estimated cost of 1.5 million dollars, funded by the company, with city costs limited to site preparations. Construction would take four months to install, and the system would use contracted private vehicles to bring refuse to the plant for briquette production.
