Description I. GENERAL STATEMENT CONCERNING INVESTIGATIONS• 1 • The Cooperative Agreement:** At the last session of the Utah State Legislature a bill was passed appropriating $10,000.00 to the University of Utah for Coal Research. The bill, however, carried the reservation that the State money would be available when an equal amount was made available from some other source to match this appropriation. The Utah Coal Producers Association agreed to match this money, at least in part, in order to start investigations which would develop better coal burning methods and better equipment, so that coal as a fuel can more successfully meet the competition of other fuels now on the market. A Department of Coal Research was then organized at the University of Utah under the direction of Dr. D. A. Lyon, Director of the Utah Engineering Experiment Station*. Prof. E. H. Beokstrand, head of the Mechanical Engineering Dept., and Dr. Thomas B. Brighton, head of the Department of Metallurgy, were placed as Senior Investigators, and the writer, Otto Duke, was employed as Research Fellow to conduct the investigations in cooperation with the senior investigators and the Utah Coal Producers Association*
