leg ExroRrIoN. = EIisor Star:-The ice
companies are developing their plan of opera
tons az a very early day. They yesterday noti-
fed their customers of an increase to a cent and
also that hereafter they would not deliver n We
bounds at q time as heretofore. 1t is evident
from this move, that the ice companies propose
to run M tbe price of ice this summer. Ice is
DO longer luxury but necessity, and with this
early intimatiOn of the intention of these mo-
nopolies, IL is time that the citizens combined
together for the purpose Of organizing a CO0pera-
tive or Consumers Ice company similar to what
consumers have been compelled to do in other
cities Men experienced in the business inform
me ID at ice can be purch ased in Maine or Nova
Scotia, shipped here and placed in the ice
house, at a cost Of about 50 per ton. The
wastage during the sun mer is from 25 to 80 per
cent; IL Is easy to calculate the enormous
thess Gays OF cooperation, here Is q fine op-
portunity to make a saving. Who will start IL?
Very respectfully, CONSUMER.
