GOING FOR TT ALL.
THE ICE MEN PUT UP THE PRICE
TO SIXTY DOLLARS PER TON

The question whether the people should be
compelled to pay $50 ton for Ice or go without
ii has been frequently propounded for the lest
month.
Yesterday the answer came: The Crescent
CITY Ice Company inserted q notice In the daily
papers stating that on account OF the non-ar-
rival of their ships loaded with ice, and owing
tn the fact that the article has to be sent here by
railroad the price would be, until further no
tfce. $50 ton, or three cents pound
to consumers. This announcement was
received with much gTumbing ny u9
public and by the parties VINO held
contracts with the Crescent City Ice Company.
The contractors ar unwilling 20 pay more ~ ~

they will have recourse to the law TO pfotecg

Warner dealer in Northern and Western Ice, is
reported to have said that he would no more
enter into any contract. but preferred to sell the
ice hereafter at quotations.
Whether this increase is due to the TACT that
yellow fever Is known to exist here, or Whether
It Is owing 10 a desire to realize upon the neees-
stiles Of the people, 1t cannot be said now. but
