Tooman, speaking before members of the Local MEA (Michigan Education Association), said the board had received a reclarification of an earlier interpretation made by the Cost of Living Council which said that the increase could not be granted. He pointed out that the local board had asked for an opinion from its attorneys (Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone of Lansing) and they ruled that the teachers were not entitled to the pay increase and should be granted it under any school instructor, asked Too- circumstances. man how he could say he speaks No Increase 1 for the entire board when the The board decided to take board has not held a meeting the advice of its attorneys and since the wage-price freeze not grant the increase, Tooman went into effect.

while this particular dock was only spiked. Therefore. the life expectancy was about five years. The dock was then dismantled. In the middle Wa the need for another type of ore handling facility was apparent, and the began their search.

In the late a contractor was located, plans were formulated, and in 1969 construction began. Brookes noted that the old conventional dock was used through tihe Fall 1968 shipping season, and in April 1969, the new season was opened with the new ore loading facility. Never At Peak Formerly, the ore that was shipped from Escanaba was direct shipping, but with the clos- nig of most of the mines on the Gogebic Range, all but one on the Menominee Range, and all but one on the Marquette Range), the new type of ore was called beneficiated ore made by the pelletlzing of a low grade ore. One of the main reasons for building the type of ore loading facility that was decided upon was make the Escanaba port more appealing to the shipper. Another was that ore could now be stockpiled in Escanaba, where it previously was stockpiled at the mines.

The present site can accommodate 2.1 million tons of ore. Formerly all the ore from the mines was hauled to Escanaba in 8V4 months, but now it can be shipped the year around. The maximum efficiency of the loading facility has not yet and their extensive searching for a feasible means of controlling the dust lasted until last May, when a dust collecting system was installed. Although this system does not as yet handle the problem at the end of the stacker boom, it has worked in the other dust problem areas. Until something can be done at the end of the stacker boom, Brokes stated that all caution is taken to only use the machinery when the wind is favorable, Brookes reported.

Brookes said they were ot aware of magnitude of 1he problem inutiaily, and that the was also aorry for the delay in receiving a controlling device, but added that it waa done as fast as possible. Six hundred vessels were loaded in Escanaba in 1970. but that number will not be reached this year because of the softness in the market. Brookes closed the meeting with a question and answer period.
