The equipment used will be the last word in factory appliances and will cost about a quarter of a million. There will be a cooling plant for water with a capacity of 28,000 daily, the use of coal may be dispensed with as fuel oil may be used to supply heat and power. The factory and separate power plant will cost another $250,000. It is expected that from 400 to 500 people will be employed. A sep- arate two-story office building and garage will be put up in another part of the lot.
