Evans), in which it was stated the actal cost-of the machinery for which the first loan was raised was likely to exceed the estimate by about £750. The new plant he proposed should consist of a tractor (£540); winch and capstan (£225); 3/8-yard excavator (£3850) ; administrative trucks (£1100); contijigencies (£535) .
