Light A Ice Plant Improved.
The Electric Light & Ice Co have
just completed a new brick engine
house and installed a 150 horse power
Corless engine of the latest type.
It is worth a visit to the plant to see ,
this engine run. The addition of
this engine and other recent improvements
will greatly increase the
power and efficiency of the plant, ,
which will in time, perhaps, furnish
power for many smaller enterprises !
that are much needed in Kingstree.
The company has also just completed
the drilling of an artesian
veil which has a capacity of 75 gal- j
ons per minute. All of this water
s used in the manufacture of ice, i
nsuring the purest product that ,
;an be made. Between 8,000 and i
10,000 gallons of water is required
ivery day to run the plant. The ,
vater is converted into steam, con- i
lensed and filtered through two ,
:harcoal filters before freezing, and
he quality of ice now being turned i
>ut by the local plant will compare
avorably with that of any of the ]
arger and older manufacturing i
:oncerns.
