A year-long program in volving the removal, classi fication and sale by AMAX Fly Ash Corporation, At lanta, Ga., from the Georgia Power Company has demon strated how fly ash can be profitably utilized. During the first year more than 60,000 tons of fly ash were recovered and shipped. According to the AMAX spokesman the addition of fly ash “produces a stronger and more durable and imperme able concrete product. Fur ther it reduces raw material costs.” 6,800 ONCE ACROSS THE HELD DOES IT Smoketown, Pd. Peoria Cattle 1150-1325 42.75-43.75. Mixed Good and Choice 950-1225 pounds 42.00- 43.00. Good 39.75-42.00.
