S. P. C. &. REPLIES TO MAYOR.
Statement That Horses Are Sold Denied
Experiences of Bird Coler's Dog

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: According TO some of the newspapers the
Mayor is alleged TO have said, the meeting of
the Board of Estimate on January 81. that instead
of providing q home for the condemned fire and
police horses, promised. the society had sold
them at auction 10 pedlers and others, who put
them into hard service Permit to say that
this society has sold horse. Neither the
horses used in the service of the society those
coming into its possession from any are
Sold but in every they are mercifully and hui
namely destroyed when their usefulness is past.
We feel sure that the Mayor was misquoted in this
connection.
Since the new law enacted by which the com
1nssioners OF the Fire and Police departments
mav in their discretion, TO the society
horses condemned for further in those depart
rnents we have taken nine animals. Seven, PRO-
nounced by a veterinarian 10 be diseased crippled
past further USE were destroyed. and two veteran
police horses, which had faithfully served the city
for many years, being provided for in their old
age Il is the desire and hope of the society to
establish farm for these old servants Of the city
and the support the animal loving community
is requested TO that end.
In regard TO the seizure OF Borough President
Coler's dog we would say that the animal was
running at large, unlicensed, in violation Of law
and was seized the any other citizens
unlieeused dog would be IL found at large. II was
not taken from q stable, alleged So far
concerns the surrender Of Mr. coer's DOG, and the
giving of the receipt for s.. which he says he re
ceved without the payment of any money, we
would say that this personal transaction be
tween Mr. Coler's son and the keeper Of our
shelter. Young Mr.. Coler went to the shelter
Sunday expressed desire to recover his dog at
once but stated that he did not have with him the
fee of s. imposed by law. TheTeupon the shelter
keeper volunteered 10 loan Mr.. Coler the money,
and accordingly the dog was released and receipt
given Mr. Coler. which, upon presentation
Brooklyn Office. would have entitled him TO Il Ii
cense for his dog The shelter keeper made the
usual returns the society showing the redemp
ton of MIR. Coiers dog and the payment of s.,
which amount the keeper turned in TO the society
with his usual cash statement This transaction
is closed far the society is concerned but 1t
appears that Mr.. Coler still shelter

THE CRY OF THE HUMAN.
Unnecessary Risks IN Eaisting Sgs-
tenn of Barge TRANSFORMATION.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The published accounts of loss OF life and
cargoes by the breaking up of tow lines at sea
should call attention to the unnecessary risks in
CURED by the existing system of barge transporta-
ton.
Subject to no inspection old schooner and sloop
hulks too often down for barge service
when unseaworthy. The too great length of tow
lines invites disaster in foggy weather passing
vessels which across tow lines and barges
connected by invisible hawsers. The unseen barges
the end OF the line swing around with fatal eff
feet against the sides of the and freight
carrying craft and the snap-the-whip effect of a
long line of barges when rounding a point Of land
or q lightship is a well known of disaster.
But is the wreckage caused by storms
alone to which ! call attention. The unprotected
barge and in all weathers should longer
pass unnoticed. II would seem incredible. but IT
is true that barges and scows in use rivers
lakes. harbors and seacoast not supplied with
bulwarks, steering appliances. small boats, life
preservers, line buoys other protection common
TO other vessels. Their decks without freeboard
when loaded frequently greasy from garbage and
Icy when all avash not over twelve or fifteen
inches wide. Men slip off to their death unseen in
the darkness or fog, unprotected by side ropes or
stanchions which could be provided at slight cost
After much observation and inquiry learn that
the expenditure of less than $50 each barge
would more than 80 per cent of the lives an
nually lost these boats. The barge crews are
sometimes limited 10 or two men. They are
seldom registered. and when lost reports cannot be
sent their homes. because their names not
known. and the dependent families await In vain
the return OF the breadwinners and add to the list
of dependent widows and children supported by the
public.
II cannot be that the directors and stockholders
Of the towing companies Will allow this unneces
sary waste of human life to continue when these
facts are known 10 them Public sentiment and
ordinary benevolence should induce them correct
these omissions. If not, Congress should provide
by legislation for adequate inspection and safety
appliances it has already done for vessels and
railways carrying passengers for hire
II is astonishing that will accept such poorly
paid service such poorly protected vessels but
the great army of the unemployed cannot be choos

people call for prompt action in rendering help to
the helpless in the protection and development of

BEGIN CUTTING CITY's ICE SUPPLY
Continued Cold Weather Needed to Make
Sure of Enough for Next Summer

If the cold weather continues for few weeks
New York need not worry about a shortage of
ice next summer, according TO Wesley NJ. OIer,
president of the American Ice Company. It had
been feared that there would be little Hudson
River ice for the market, but the outlook has
become more promising within the last two weeks
I'VE have been delayed this year by the
weather" said Mr. Oler yesterday, ''for the ice
on the Hudson was not thick enough for to
begin cutting until last Saturday. Last year we
started work five days earlier, January q.
Ice to be worth the labor of cutting should he
at least ten inches thick. AT present we can only
find that where the river is not strong
If this low temperature lasts for another month
we should have all want for this year there
Is no difficulty in getting the worl1nen we need.
Last year there for a time something of
shortage Of labor"
Mr.. Oler explained that New York City needs
between 100000 and 100000 of ice every year
The ice being sold here IS from last years
crop The company counts on the Hudson for the
city's supply and only in case OF shortage looks
to Maine. AS for the price next summer Mr.
Oer smiled and said: THAT will depend On the
crop and Oh the weather, so it's a matter of tenn
