The Ice SUPPLY-The hotel keepers of New
York held meeting recently for the purpose of
taking steps to secure their supply Of ice for the
coming summer at less rates than the companies
controlling the trade are willing to furnish it at
Company, rather; for it appears there is a whee |
within the several wheels, and that a single or
ganization dictates the prices for the whole city,
and of course it fixes them exorbitantly high
To remedy this state of things the landlords pro-
pose to form a company to supply their own
guild at profit not exceeding dollar per ton.
This viii be heavy blow at the monopoly, as
the hotels are immense consumers, and the ac-
ton Of their proprietors will not be witho ut a
marked effect on the general trade.
1t may be added here that the crop of Ice this
season Is not near as short as the spectators
pretend. The quality may not be as good as
usual, but reliable advices from the north give
assurance that the quantity will be equal to any
probable demand. Beside, the ice-making
season Is not over yet The short crop reports
are only circulated as a pretext for putting up
prices next summer, just as the coal operators
set their cock and bull stories afioat each fall to
scare customers into contracting for fuel at
figures far above those for which they can pur-
chase il later in the season Ii prices of ice open
high, let consumers economist and determine
to get along with about half the quantity they
ordinarily use, at fair rates, and the figures
viii very soon come down.

There is much complaint on the part of citi-
Zehs that the contractors for numbering the
houses, or their employees, are disposed to charge
more than they are aut..S rized by law. The
sole charge that the numberers can rightfuliy
make is six cents. This is set forth authorita-
lively by Mayor Bowen in a communication to
the Councils, in which he says:
." The contract for numbering the houses in
the city requires that the contractor shall fur
nish the 80 number" for each house for the sum
OF six cents, and not six cents for each figure"
The contractor Is not authorized to charge
householders for measuring the lot, the sum OF
six cents above named covering every expense"
OF course the contractor can supply higher
priced numbers where they are desired, but it
must be distinctly understood that he can do 50
only by a special agreement, and that other
wise he is only authorized to charge household
ers he sum OF six cents for the number, no mat
ter how many figures it may contain.

There Is danger that the great things expected
to follow the purchase By Senator Sprague OF
the extensive water power at Columbia, s. c.,
will never be realized. The original transfer
by the State authorized the widening of the
Canal to thirty feet, but after a careful survey
il has been deemed best to make the width
seventy-nve feet, and the Senate has passed s.
bill giving the necessary authority. There is,
however, hitch in the lower house, and As the
session Is drawing to q close, it is thought the
measure cannot be passed by the present As
sembly. In that case, the Charleston papers
say, there i reason to believe Mr.. sprague win
abandon his contract, and give up his efforts TO
regenerate the material interests Of that STATE
in the manner at first contemplated by his pur-
chase.
