That a "short weight of Ice Is being
given to small consumers by the drivers
and men in charge OF Ice wagons who de-
liver ice to thousands of homes in the Dis
trct daily, and that these drivers refuse
to serve Ice where the consumer Is in the
habit of weighing it. is the substance Of a
communication filed with the Commission
ers this morning by E. c. r. HUMPHREYS of
1927 o street northwest.
Mr.. HUMPHREYS declares that the practice
is an outrage and robbery and that 1t
should be given prompt attention by the
local authorities for its suppression. and
that the offenders should be punished to the
fullest extent of the law. He contends that
this alleged fraud Is perpetrated without
the knowledge of the officials of the ice
companies and that no directions have been
given to drivers to refuse to deliver ice to
consumers who weigh IL.

Several months ago the lighthouse au-
thorities, as an experiment. placed a com.
bination light and bell buoy off the Vir-
ginia coast several miles below Cape Hen

it's use will be extended Vessel masters
coming up the coast report having seen the
light from the buoy many miles away. thus
giving them warning of their approach to
the coast at night The light, 1t is said, can
be seen before the lights along the coast
are visible. The officers of the Hamburg

at Baltimore from Hamburg, report having
seen the light when approaching Chesa-
peake bay early one morning last week
though the ship was twelve and a hall
