quantities and tonnage of some of the major material items distributed to construction areas are: Dimension Lumber 4,000,000 Sq. Ft. Form Plywood 1,200,000 Sq. ft.

One, for general cargo haul from Ilo to the Incapuquio-Mill area, averaged between 20 end 25 7-ton payloads per day from late March to November 1, 1958. A second contract for fuel haul from the International Petroleum Company bulk plant at Ilo to the Mill -Toquepala-Suche -area averaged eight 3,000 gallon tankers per day between April and November 1958. Yet a third hauling contractor transported a sizable share of the aggregate produced at the Incapuqulo plant to the Mill and other outlying work areas. Rates paid for all such services were less than those incurred in operation of Contractor's own truck fleet. Principal items of back-haul to the Ilo area were concrete block produced at the Incapuqulo plant and the 48" diameter concrete pipe manufactured by Lock Joint-American at lake Suche for the Power Plant circulating water lines. All contract haul was terminated at railroad completion with the exception of fuel haul to Suche, continued until August 1959. Seven day a week, 24 hour a day operations were required at the port during most of the construction period to handle cargoes of the 559 ocean- going vessels calling from June 19, 1956 through August 1, 1959. Port and yard manpower during the 24 hour operation period averaged 10 expatriate supervisors, 50 empleados, and 225 obreros.
