rnormous Profit in Ice

A complete ice-making plant has been installed by the postoffice department at Washington. This plant turns out more ice than the department can use. a fact which Secretary McVeigh, of the treasury department found out, where upon he promptly requisitioned for the surplus ice, which he secured at the cost of making-a ton every 24 hours for 65 cents. It had been paying dealers prices, $7.65 a ton; thus it saves $7.00 on each ton, and pays at the rate of 30 pounds for a cent, or I50 pounds for a nickel, or 750 pounds for quarter. All of which shows the fabulous profits in the ice business, and the grand oppor- tunity that awaits the capitalists who will fill the land with ice plants and sell their product at a reasonable figure.

To Oil Highways

Stamford is to do its first oiling of highways this week, commencing with the recently constructed state road. When this is thoroughly oiled, the state road on the Post Road beyond Rich mond Hill, and on Glenbrook Road will be similarly treated, and then if the appropriation holds out, other country roads will be oiled. The appropriation is S3, 900. Selectmen Miohaels has been giving attention to the oiling of streets in New Canaan, which has been carried out extensively in that town, and has come to the conclusion that 1t is the most satisfactory aud economical way of solving the road problem arising from the automobile traffic.
