Today, owing to tho demandaof ihe flnies, now construction is going on at both plants. Gary is building four now blast furnaces and a groat establishment for making wheels of forged steel. She is putting in 14 boilers to utilise the waste heat of her furnaces and is installing new engine shops, new boiler shops and other works for increasing the byproducts. At the Illinois steel plant they are installing electric open hearth furnaces, extending their boundaries, building great blowing engines and adding to their establishments for turning out Bessemer steel. rrr Tieat.ng tHe stove whkh furnish he blxrl ?tn I for ruivnlng the maihtsi- ry 91 a wtaol piicnt It goes to tho aoilers where It generates steam. did to kd eaunen whuh are iimi! fnr Jlnwlng mi uiriT gooeraii g eTertric in one station at the Ulim Is power teel plants s omi h rsepowr Tested in thi3 wav and I I hours and tht coal 14 th hfet that oan be obtained It conics from the mines the fjball of lahuntas which w equal t tha of th Cardiff f mints Knglnd.
