HEATING PLAN FLY ASH CONTROL

A general discussion was held on the ash nuisance problem at the College, and consideration
was given to proposals for its correction as embraced in drawings of the heating plant and
specifications (Institutional Engineering Section, Budget Division, dated February 1, 1955) for
an ash silo and accompanying equipment laid before the Board by the President. Mr. Darden said
that the specifications incorporated the recommendations of Mr. Fred Saunders, in whom he had
great confidence, that the cost would be heavy, probably in the range of $35,000, but that he
could see no way of avoiding this expense.

The Board resolved that the proper authorities of the University be authorized to obtain
bids and proceed with this work in accordance with the specifications submitted.
