made for years to substitute
Swedish peat for imported coal have
engrossed tie attention of the gov

partly from a strategic point of view.
Two years ago the government paid
$4,000 to NJ. Ekenberg and ALI Lar
son, two prominent engineers, who
were to construct roller press for
making peat bricks according to a
method invented by them. The en-
gineers have reported to the govern
ment that they have built factory
and tested their method at total
cost of $3.50. The results were IA
vorable. and the engineers have de-
cided to erect a peat brick factory
at a cost of $4,000. The plant is to
be located at Stafsjo. The work of
putting up the building has been de-
layed by strikes and lockouts. Not
until this factory is in operation can
it be definitely determined whether
it pays to produce peat bricks of
this kind OH large scale, and for
that reason the report already hand
ed in must be looked upon only as a
preliminary one. "
