2- 8454 - FILLING MACHINE: ^he need of special equipment of this type for filing packages of a new insecticide to be sold by Acme was explained by Messrs. Hain and wills but no definite decision was made to purchase the equipment. 1'he matter was left on the basis that Messrs. Prescott and Mills would check into the situation further and they would then de cide whether or not the equipment is to be purchased. 8455 - REQUISITION FOR GLOUCESTER PLANT; It was reported that Professor Ware had verbally requested an approval of an ex penditure of $>75,000 for the Titanium plant; $25,000 of which represents an over run on requisition previously approved, and $50,000 for additional expenditures, all of which it was reported has been approved by Mr. Martin; the formal re quisition to be submitted at a later date. 8456 - BARYTES MINE; Mr. Hain reported that he contemplates beginning operation of the barytes mill and mine that was purchased several years ago as the price of ore seems to make this an advantageous move at this time. 8457 - PUBLIC BID: Since September 1, 1959, 919 invitations to bid have been received. A total of 756 amounting to $1,755,170 have been placed and of this total we have received award on 85 amounting to $122,029.00.
