Further details: This building generates all its own electricity for lighting, elevator power, ventilating power, and makes all its own ice as well as steam for heating purposes. The Combustion Engineering Co. are now installing the latest model Coxe Traveling Grate Stoker and the Jeffrey Mfg. Co. are installing special ash-handling equipment.
