Grove Cement West Inc>, respectively for a total of 50.2
mln dlrs.
    Hanson said the deals are subject to normal conditions of

program at Kaiser Cement and will allow Kaiser to concentrate
its efforts in the California marketplace, where it is the
largest cement producer and holds a premiere market position,"
