THE ICE DEALERS, P0oL.

! An Advance from One nalf to One Cent
per Pound-What the Dealers say
| About 1t.
The advance in ice from = to 1 cent per
pound during the past week has created a
! great deal of inquiry among consumers.
/ A MORNING NEWS reporter called
upon the knickerbOcker Ice COMPANY
and Messrs. Haywood, Gage & Co.
I yesterday, who stated that instead of being
an advance it is a return to the old price
Of two years ago. For several years there
has been sharp competition between the
Two companies. so that tie public have
enjoyed the luxury of cheap ice, the prices
gong as low as 20 and . cents per hun
dred weight during the past fifteen
months. The regular retail price has
ruled at &c. per pound, and 40c. per 100
EOund5 to large consumers. This was a
Eery low rate, and the dealers claim that
Il did not pay them. In fact, they say
that they have been selling ice below its
actual cost. " zen the cost of laying
down a ton Of ice is taken into consldera-
ton this has been the cas-. Both COM
panies claim to have lost consider
able money in the experiment Of murder
Gus competition, and it was merely a
question of time when one or the other
would have to quit the field. They
have now pooled their issues and
established uniform price. The pres
ent price IS now ~. per pound for small
consumers and 75c. per hundred pounds
TO large consumers, including hotels, res
taurants, saloons, steamships, dairy men
and butchers, by whom large quantities
are used.
They also claim that ice at 1 cent Der
pound IS only an average of p cent per
pound, taking the past two Seasons into
consideration, where the public ac-
tuaAy enjoyed this luxury at
the expense of the dealers.
They claim further that it costs them
more TO bring ice here tnan before, owing
to the depressed and slow condition Of the
lumber shipping business; that rates are
higher. as the vessels carrying ice
are not assured of a return freight, and if
by chance they get one there's alikelihOOd
OF its being a change port. entailing extra
expense, and making higher rates. The
companies claim, too, that the loss is very
great from the time that the Ice is in the
field to the day of its sale to the
consumer, and that so per cent. of it is
lost. 1t is estimated that the two CON-
panies sold between $4,000 and
$4,000 tons of ice during the past season,
on which they have suffered heavy losses
by waste and the ruinous price at which
1t was sold.
They claim that the service they give
the public, with the cost of wagons.
drivers, stock, taxes, freights, ETC., it can
not be sold for less than cent per pound.
The wagon business has al
ways been considered to be
a source Of remuneration. ana
tie position Of wagon man, with the dis
tribution of the luxury in 81. parts Of the
city in his charge, has been regarded a
paying one. His salary is nominally two
dollars upr daV some being paid S75 ppr
month. The actual amount made, how
ever, is from three, four and five
dollars, and he is considered a poor wagon
man who can not clear his cool hundred
dollars every month, but how it is done is
a mystery which is not accounted for.

teOus and urbane, and his intercourse with
hls fellow members companionable and al

What a Visitor Says About Paving Our
ThorOughfares

Editor Morning Nelos: AS a visitor
from Wakefield, Mass.) 1 beg leave
to state that the streets of your
city ought to be paved. In advancing my
ideas on that subject, my opinion is
based on the fact, that in saving
horse and mule flesh, as well as the wear
and tear of harness, citizens in general
would be benefited. Basing ones ideas
on dollars and cents this may appear ex-
travagance, but from common-sense
noint 81 view "avIDg viii not only tepS
to promote health, but will also be
in time, should one hundred years be
required to do the work, good money in
vestment. IL you cannot, Mr.. Editor,
pave but one street or halt street each
wear. would not that amount of work be an
advancement toward making Savannah a
commercial city in appearance and as
beautiful as OglethOrpe intended it to be?
Very respectfully,
MICHAEL WALLACE.
The city authorities have been doing
just what the writer of the above commu-
nication suggests, namely, paving the
streets by degrees. Bay and River streets
are paved from one end to the other.
DraytOn street is paved nearly to the
southern extremity of the built-up part
OF the city. East Broad and West Broad
streets are paved to Liberty street.
Wheaton street is paved itsentire length.
The business portion of Bryan street is
paved, and parts of Congress and st. Julian
streets macadamiZed. There is a prospect
of paving BrOughtOn street, aud also one
or two cross streets in the southern
portion of the city. Savannah has so
many streets that it would take millions
Of 1aff 70 al ,F&
very fair prospect of all important
thoroughfares being paved before many
years. There is a generally ex-
pressed desire upon the part
of our citizens to have this important
work done. The paving Of South Broad,
Liberty (say only One-half the width of
each J, and Gordon ST. Gets, New Houston,
Henry or Anderson streets, and the con-
tinuation of the pavements on West and
East Broad and DraytOn and Whitaker
streets to Anderson street, would be Of
great advantage.
