Description

The inactive State lime plant at Waynesboro, Mississippi is inaccessible to highways and is recommended to be abandoned for agricultural lime. The deposit is heavily overburdened with 10-15 ft. of soil. Former operations of hand digging, air drying, using wheel barrows to the storage house for restacking, together with the poor service from the reconditioned coal pulverizer was reported as costing the State one dollar per ton above price paid by user. The Diesel engine, the heart timbers, the siding and galvanized roofing constitute little value in considering their use in furtherance of the present lime program.
