The general impression is that the in-

plants would scarcely make expenses,
let alone paying dividends. They point
out that an ice plant VIII cc-t aSout

city VIII last for about three months out
OF the year.
A second consideration is the fact that
the American Ice Company VIII take
pains 10 be well supplied with ice IN
future years and viii keep itself in a
position to meet all Is for the

much demand for the independent plants
