"At the present time we have only
two mixers in operation and the
weather conditions are so poor that
they cannot work all the time. ] think
by May we will have at least five
mixers in operation and possibly
seven. Though we have not had as
much rain in Sussex as you have had
in Wilmington, the ground water is
high, and we are rather skeptical
about allowing concrete to be placed
