Trustees Recommend Bar{ge} Dock and Gas Contract Renewal
Trustees favor a barge unloading facility at Muscatine power plant with an estimated cost of 353000 dollars and a payoff in under eight years based on projected coal consumption. A preliminary sketch covers dredging, dolphins, unloader, conveyor, pullers, and foundations. Rail coal is cheaper per BTU, but barged coal reduces costs to 24.25 cents per million BTU in plant bunkers. The board approved a one year extension of the current gas contract and authorized turbine modifications, water mains, and a water field survey at Muscatine Island. The plan includes a 2400 ton barge for a trial shipment to the REA dock at Montpelier. A committee was formed to plan the annual employee dinner.
