Show Gigantic Refrigerator The War Food administration is now storing 75,000 tons of food in a leased limestone mine near Atchison, Kan. Its 12,000,000 cubic feet of caverns are equivalent to nearly one-tenth of all public refrigerated re-frigerated storage space in this country today. While the construction construc-tion of a warehouse with this capacity ca-pacity would cost about $15,000,00"0, the chief expense of equipping this mine was $1,000,000 for machinery to reduce its temperature of 50 degrees de-grees F. to 30 degrees. |
