_Live Stock_--The live stock pens are situated to the left of the rendering department extending north of the oil storage tanks from which position leads an incline, delivering the live stock into an elevated storage pen covering the area between the rendering house and the abattoir, and over the dressing room. _Icing Department_--Facilities for manufacturing ice for cooling cars are provided in the space directly north of the abattoir building. The three railroad tracks between the two groups of buildings are covered with a protecting shed, and from the bottom member of the trusses are suspended trolley rails for handling buckets of ice to be dumped into the tanks of the refrigerator cars. _Cooler Building_--The dressed beef, mutton and pork is transferred via bridge with chain conveyors, carrying the carcasses from the slaughtering house floor to the cooling rooms situated upon the third floor of the cooler building. From this floor the carcasses are conveyed for storage purposes to the second and first floor, and from there they are passed to the cutting room, city sales department, or cars. The basement and sub-basement are used for curing beef and pork joints. The fourth floor of this building is set aside for freezing products which, after being frozen, are shipped for storage to other premises owned by the same company. [Illustration: FIG. 7.--SECTIONAL VIEW INDICATING LEVELS AND COMPARATIVE LEVELS OF DEPARTMENT FLOORS.] _Pork House_--The fourth floor of the pork house is utilized for chilling hogs; the third for cutting them, and all floors below for curing purposes. Note, the arrangement whereby the pork house and the cooler building are each connected with the team-loading platform and also closely arranged for car loading. _Manufacturing Building_--A manufacturing building given over to the production of sausage, smoked meats, lard and the packing and shipping of same is immediately north of the cooler and pork buildings, and connected thereto at all floors where necessary. The city shipping department has its allotted space on the ground floor of the cooler building and the products finished in the manufacturing building move south toward the team loading platforms.
