The Consolidated Railroad Go. has decided upon another important inn provement. It is proposed to begin next season the manufacture of arti- ficial ice. The company uses a very large amount of ice in refrigerator cars in the various stations, on the trains, etc. The cost of ice forms a large item of the years expenses and when the cost of carriage, the maintenance of ice houses, the cost of filling houses with ice and other incidental expenses are considered it is believed that the machine process of making ice will re- suit in material saving of money as well as annoyance and uncertainty during years when the ice crop is not abundant. One ice plant, properly located and of sufficient size, would furnish the entire railroad system with a supply of ice absolutely pure and of the best quality. One particular reason why the company proposes to manufacture ice is to ensure use by their patrons of ice that is absolutely pure and impossible of being at any time danger to the health or lives of the people. The Consolidated man. agement is constantly on the alert to serve the people in the best manner
 pOSsi ble, and it is easy to see the
 reason of their strong hold upon the public,
