Concerning w. P. Husbands failure In his
project to establish an ice manufacturing
plant at Grapevine point, New Haven, Mr..
Husband, who is back In Hartford, says his
failure to pay his creditors was caused by
their failure to keep their agreements. They
had drawn up paper which specified that
he was to have charge Of the factory. He
signed IL and they oil did except one, who
was absent. When the absent one returned
he refused to sign II, and consequently, after
the Ice plant was well under way, Mr.. Hus-
band was forced to abandon il. The credit
ors seemed to be all ready to take possession
Of the plant and the action Of one member in
refusing to sign the agreement might have
been preconcerted for that purpose. Mr..
Husband says he has nothing further to do
with the matter.
