Shale at Lansing
The state has unlimited quantities
Of shale at Lansing suitable for paw
ing brick which can be manufactur-
ed at low cost for hard surfaced
roads, according to DIR. Raymond G.
Moore Of the University of Kansas,
state geologist. A scientific test
made here shows that the brick man
ufactured from this shale will pass
as high a test as any on the market.
With very little additional cost,
the state can add sufficient machin-
cry to the present state brick plant
at Lansing to produce the PAYERS,
according to Doctor Moore. The
brick would be sold to counties at
cost, considerably below the regular
market price.
