The District inspector of Mines, Mines Deoartment, CUE...................... ff.A. WESTERN AUSTRALIA 17 February 1950. *; Dear Sir, I have to ao'fcno:wledge>..re4e ipt of-'..-:.~'.y.'r.o*..*.u..r.7. -.7 memorandum of 14th inst. conoerning'-dust in .our.mill- -.: iog plant. . : /. ^:#*.v-7---'7v-; We are at present engaged in installing.,-, four additional large stocking type `collectore"'together with necessary fans, hoods, ducts etc. and we believe this portion of the programae we have set ourselves will be completed within a few weeks. In .addition we have placed on order a further large wet -type collector but this may be some months before installation .is completed. Our object is not only to ensure that the whole of our mill is dust free but also to- dCileet the dust rather than let it go direct to atmosphere to be blown back into the mill building and other buildings. ffe feel sure that when we have -completed the installation you will be pleased with the results. Consideration has been given previously to completely closing in the mill wall instead of leaving a gap near the floor level as at present but we have hesitated to do this because the mill would then be much hotter than it is now and in this climate in the summer time this is an aspect that needs careful attention. Y/e trust therefore that you will not insist on having the whole milling section totally enclosed. *' Tours.^faithfully, AUSTRALIAN BLUE ASBESTOS LIMITED. Acting Manager. C 1 664
