Abstract
The Municipal Asphalt Plant of the Borough of Manhattan (New York, N. Y.) is situated in a modern, fashionable, residential area. Why such a site was selected is discussed briefly. The various factors involved in the final acceptance of the plant as a good neighbor-such as the character and operation of the equipment and machinery installed, the new operational procedures developed, the adaptation of unique machinery, and the use of large 4-ton batch mixers-are separately developed. Manufacturing costs covering 1 year of operation during 1944 and 1945 are compiled and presented. The, conclusions indicate that the foresight and courage of the planners of the plant, in selecting the site and utilizing the modern equipment, are amply repaid by the efficient and economical operation of the plant.
