That the ice companies should charge

Of Ice daily used both for their fishing
boats and for their market business, is
a source Of complaint for the nsli-dealers
In the Fulton Market.

that the boats and the market used on
low average about 5000 tons OF Ice n

While I do not say that there is an

meeting of the Fulton Market Fish
