Some of the New York papers are
worrying over a possible ice famine in
the metropolis. the coming summer,
just because the Hudson crop failed.
And now Boston is also fretting over
the OUTLOOK. Yesterdays Boston Globe
in gloomy tones remarked: There Is
in Maine on both the Penobscot and
kennebec. rivers only half a crop this
year, with no reserve to draw from
All this worry is as unnecessary as the
above statement is distorted. The new
ice crop on the Kennebec this winter
amounts to rising $4,000 tons which
with the left over stock of $50. 900 tons
makes a supply that will meet all the
demands of the coming summer. In
stead of half a crop harvested there is
an unusually big crop, and there is a
large stock left over. The winter ha :
not been wholly favorable to ice cut
ting. but the Maine men have kent
patiently at it, and Boston and Now
YORK are assured of cool drinks. the
coming summer.
