STEPS TAKEN TO AVOID A
SCARCITY OF ICE NEXT
SUMMER.
There is hardly any probability that
the people of this city will have to go
through another temporary ice famine
The Norfolk Ice Company held stock
holders meeting on Tuesday last, and
among the many matters taken up at
that time was the lack of adequate ia
cilities for the storage of a large guam
tity of ice as Il reserve supply to guard
against any possibility of n famine.
In our interview yesterday n director
of the ice company stated that thus tar
his company had been doing business
on very satisfactory basis. The man
aGement proposes TO carry out it's orig
inal purpose to reduce the cost of man
ufacturing ice to Il level which will
permit it's being furnished to the poo
pie ut the present price; or. If possible,
at even IL lower one.
The gentleman stated that without a
doubt the past summer was certainly
an exceptional one. and that the ice
