New Rida

bnc. apparently, and Aid Heating, OF
the council committee on public build
ings, is somewhat worried as 20 just
what TO do. He held a meeting OF his
committee, Thursday morning, but.
owing 70 lack Of a quorum, 1t was not
decided whether new bids will be
asked
Last year the city got ice for the
public buildings at II IL cents hun
dred pounds, but the only bid this
year was II f-2 cents.
II have tried to get other bids but
have not succeeded so far. says keat-
ing IF there is chance OF getting
better prices. will throw these bids
out and get others"
Unless some ice firm comes TO the
rescue the plan once proposed by
Mayor Codd OF having the city cut its
own ice and store IT on Belle Isle for
the use OF the public building and the
poor commission may be brought up
again and put into effect next winter.
This would demonstrate the real cost
Of cutting and delivering ice in this
city.
