REJECTS ICE TRUST BIDS
PRICE FOR CITY DOUBLED
Health Commissioner Darlington to
AdUertise Anep for Supply.

The Ice Trust is doing. trying to do, busi-
ness mt the old stand. It has doubled the price
OF its commodity in its bids to supply the Health
Department with fee that last year cost S27 900.
Commissioner Darlington of the Health Board
yesterday decided TO reject the trusts bid and
readvertise for proposals.
The American Ice Company last year fur
nished the department under my jurisdc-
tion with ice at 13 cents hundred pounds"
said DR.. Darlington. THE bids opened to-day
seem to be all from one concern. and the price Is
raised from 13 to % cents hundred pounds.
This is so outrageous that will not stand It,
i have decided 10 reject the bids and try again.
Tammany Hall is supposed TO have come back
TO power as a protest against the so-called
predatory trusts. The Ice Trust seems to have
chosen the advent of Democracy's return to
power fitting chance to double the price of
fits commodity. / don't believe shall be COM
PEELED TO buy ice from the trust at such an ap-
parently excessive price"
Commissioner Darlington had a conference
with Controller Grout yesterday and it is un-
Gerstood that the Controller advised him with
reference tactics in fighting the Ice Trust.
The American Ice Company gained notorety
account OF its promotion by the leaders of
Tammany Hall in 1901. Mayor Van Wyck and
John F. Carroll were large stockholders in the
company at that time and the company enjoyed
water front privileges which enabled II to
nopolize the fee business of the city.
More recently an investigation committee OF
the stockholders. after an examination OF the
ice companys affairs, criticised some OF its
business methods.
